CONSISTENT by Primal Potential
Elizabeth Benton
Why are we so stressed & overwhelmed? Why do we have clear & compelling goals but fail to reach them? How can we want to change so desperately yet make choices that keep us from that change? Because we keep focusing on the habits we want instead of building the skill of consistency that allows us to achieve them. Consistency is a skill. It's a superpower. It isn't one-size-fits all. It unlocks any door and makes every goal achievable. A more effective, realistic approach starts here.

1283: Minimalism & Metabolism: Why Less Stuff = More Energy
Episode Summary: In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between decluttering your space and achieving weight loss success. Our environment shapes our mindset, habits, and overall well-being. By organizing our physical surroundings, we create space for better decisions, healthier choices, and a calmer mind. Tune in to discover how a clutter-free home can support your weight loss journey. Listener Question: “I am working on decluttering my home, changing my relationship to home and possessions. Any advice or guidance in that area would be great!” Key Topics Covered: How your external environment impacts your internal state. The psychological effects of clutter: stress, overwhelm, and decision fatigue. The identity shift: Becoming a person who takes care of their space and themselves. The financial aspect: Clutter represents money you once had—rethinking purchases. Practical strategies to start decluttering and regain control. Practical Approaches to Decluttering: Stop Spending on Non-Essentials Implement a budget and a 24-hour hold rule before making purchases. Reflect on past purchases: Did they bring lasting joy or just add to clutter? Consider: Would I rather have this item or the money in savings? Ditch and Donate Like It’s Your Job Declutter small spaces daily (drawer, shelf, cabinet) to avoid overwhelm. Use the 20-item rule: Find and remove 20 items per day (expired food, unworn clothes, broken items, etc.). Give items to friends, donate to charity, or sell locally for extra cash. Why This Matters for Weight Loss: Decluttering fosters a sense of control and reduces stress-related eating. A tidy kitchen encourages healthier eating and meal prep. Removing distractions makes it easier to focus on self-care and movement. Action Step for Listeners: Pick one small area to declutter today and reflect on how it makes you feel.

1280: The Root Work for True Transformation - Let's Talk About It
For the longest time, I was chasing change but not true transformation, and my results showed it. I stayed in the struggle for decades. So many of us find ourselves chasing the same goals for months—maybe even years—without ever feeling like we truly get there. But what if the issue isn’t a lack of effort, but rather the approach itself? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the crucial difference between change and transformation and why this distinction matters more than you might think. I’ll share my own personal experience of shifting from temporary change to deep, lasting transformation and how identity-based consistency plays a key role in making sustainable progress. Plus, we’ll dive into the power of setting personal standards, why root work is essential for breaking free from old habits, and a simple but powerful mindset shift that can help you create real, lasting results. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of “starting over,” this episode is for you!
