CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

If your routine only works when life is calm and controlled… it's not a routine. It's a trap. In today's episode, we're diving into one of the biggest blocks to progress: the belief that consistency isn't possible when life is unpredictable. Whether it's school breaks, travel, toddler wake-ups, late meetings, or just the everyday chaos—this episode is here to help you build something that works in real life, not just in ideal conditions. We'll walk through: Why your chaos might be more predictable than you think How to stop starting over every time life changes What "anchor habits" are—and how to build your own Real examples from clients and my own routine The shift from "all or nothing" to "always something" Plus, I'll introduce you to a brand new tool inside The Consistency Course that can help coach you through your disruptors, anytime, anywhere. 🔗 Resources & Links 👉 Learn more about The Consistency Course and get immediate access to EB-GPT: 💪 My go-to protein powder from Amare – I use the vanilla Fit20 almost every day: Use code elizabethbenton at checkout to save $10 on your first order! ⭐️ Check out more of my favorite things! 💬 Let's Stay Connected Tag me on Instagram @elizabethbenton and share your biggest takeaway from the episode.

🔍 Episode Description: But first! Take the quiz to identify your primary barrier to consistency: primalpotential.com/quiz Let's talk about what you're avoiding — the scale, the check-in, the budget, the truth. Not because you don't know… but because you don't want to face it. In this episode, we dive into Blind Spot Culture — the subtle but powerful way we avoid clarity and call it "grace" or "self-care" while continuing to drift. Whether it's telling yourself food is comfort, or skipping your check-in because "you already know it was a bad week," this kind of avoidance is robbing you of the change you say you want. We'll unpack: What blind spots really are (hint: they're not about ignorance) Why we avoid feedback, mirrors, and metrics How "comfort" habits like overeating are masking deeper needs What it's actually costing you to avoid facing the truth Simple ways to break free from the patterns that are keeping you stuck If you're ready to stop drifting and finally build momentum, this episode is a must-listen. 🧠 Key Takeaways: Avoidance isn't protection — it's a trap. The truth doesn't get more painful when you face it — it gets more useful. Food, distractions, and "grace" are often just blind spots in disguise. The moment you look is the moment you take your power back. 🎯 Ready to Break the Cycle?

This is your wake-up call. Not because you're lazy. Not because you're broken. But because you're stuck in patterns that are keeping you from the life you say you want. In this episode, we're cutting through the noise with a direct, no-fluff pep talk for the days you're tempted to quit, coast, or wait for "later." Whether you're in a funk, making excuses, or just need a reminder of what's at stake — this is for you. You'll hear about: Why your comfort zone is costing you more than you think The brutal truth about giving yourself "a pass" The mindset that makes success inevitable How every excuse is a vote for the life you don't want Why change won't happen until you decide it's non-negotiable If you keep putting it off, you're not just delaying the life you want — you're building regret. You're either going to do the work, or you're going to wish you had. 🎧 Listen when you need: A kickstart after falling off track A mindset reset on a low-motivation day A reminder of why your future depends on today's choices Want to work with me inside The Consistency Course?

Ever feel like you're arguing with yourself all day long — about getting up early, skipping the snack, following through — and somehow, the wrong voice keeps winning? You're not broken. You're just unprepared. In this episode, I'm bringing you inside the debate team that's happening inside your head every day — and breaking down why your internal arguments are falling flat... and what to do about it. If you showed up to debate class with the kinds of excuses and one-liners you use on yourself — you'd get crushed. So why are you trying to win the battle for your goals that way? We'll talk about: The 4 major ways we drop the ball in our internal decision-making Why "I said I would" isn't strong enough to beat a craving How to build a better case for the choices that move you forward Real-life examples (goldfish snacks, alarms, girls' night wine — we're going there) What conviction, energy, and preparation actually sound like If you've been stuck in a cycle of "I know better but I don't do better," this episode is going to feel like a mirror, a wake-up call, and a strategy session — all in one. 💥 Ready to Build a Stronger Case in Your Life? This is the kind of work we do every single day inside The Consistency Course. We don't just talk about what you should do — we teach you how to follow through.

We have to stop giving ourselves a pass with vague, soft language. "Emotional eating." "Self-sabotage." "Checked out." "Comfort food." These phrases sound like awareness — but most of the time, they're actually avoidance. They're smokescreens that help us label the pattern without actually examining it. But if we want to get out of the cycle, we've got to stop naming things in a way that lets us off the hook. In today's episode, we're getting real. I'll walk you through: Why vague labels keep us stuck How to replace them with specific, honest observations The role clarity plays in breaking patterns And how this one shift alone can change everything — without needing more willpower or motivation If you've ever said, "I just keep sabotaging myself," this one's for you. 🔥 Mentioned In This Episode: The Consistency Course: Real-time coaching, honest daily practices, and a support system that helps you drop the vague and build the momentum. 📩 Ready for more clarity and momentum?

We've been sold a lie that progress has to be painful—and that if we enjoy the path, we're probably doing it wrong. But what if the opposite is true? In this episode, I'm introducing you to an idea I'm calling 75 Fun—not a challenge, not a reset, but a rhythm. A summer rhythm that actually feels good to live. One that includes strength, rest, play, and connection… without guilt or burnout. We'll talk about: Why most plans fall apart (hint: they're miserable) The fear that "ease" means "failure" How I'm designing a life I don't want to escape from this summer The difference between indulgence and intentional joy What my personal 75 Fun rhythm looks like (and how you can create your own) This isn't about perfection. It's not about doing more. It's about finally creating a life you love to live—one small decision at a time. Mentioned In Today's Episode: Join me inside The Consistency Course!

You don't need more time — you need fewer false fires. If you constantly feel like there's just not enough time, this episode will change the way you see your life — and your to-do list — forever. Inside the Consistency Course, I hear it every day: "Life got busy. I meant to do XYZ. But the day got away from me." And the problem isn't laziness or lack of motivation — it's the fact that we've confused pressure for priority. We've been taught to answer to what's loud, urgent, and externally expected. But that kind of pressure has nothing to do with what actually matters to us. In today's episode, I'll show you exactly how to stop working in your life — and start working on it. You'll walk away with tools to clarify your true priorities, protect your time, and reset your habits so they actually reflect what matters most to you. 🔑 In this episode, we'll unpack: Why pressure screams louder than priority — and how to stop answering it The real difference between "need to" and "want to" — and why that distinction matters Why working in your life is keeping you stuck (and how to start working on your life instead) The simple perspective shift that reveals what's really urgent — and what's just noise How to protect your most valuable time — even in a full, chaotic life 🧭 Ask yourself: What are my top three true priorities right now? Do my habits, calendar, and energy reflect those priorities — or not? What needs to change so that they do? 📌 Quote to remember: "You don't need more time. You need fewer pressures disguised as priorities." "Most people are working in their lives. Very few are working on them." 💬 Want more support? 📘 Learn more about The Consistency Course 📥 DM your questions to @elizabethbenton on Instagram to be part of a future follow-up episode. 📝 Get the free 20-question workbook at primalpotential.com/consistency-questions If this episode hit home, let me know!
