CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

I used to be the queen of sneaking food. It started when I was a kid, but let's be clear - sneaking food is NOT just a kid thing. Do you hurry to finish something before someone can see you eat it? Do you ever hide wrappers or other food evidence in the trash? Do you wait for people to leave before you indulge? Do you eat differently alone then you do when there are a lot of people around? First,...

If you have accepted chronic stress as a way of life, this episode is for you. Chronic stress isn't just a quality of life issue, it's a health issue. Remaining under chronic stress decreases your ability to burn fat while increasing your likelihood of storing it. Chronic stress impairs your metabolism and your immune system. It creates systemic hormonal chaos. Stress is not meant to be chronic. I...

We all have moments when we feel stuck. However, just because you feel stuck doesn't mean you are stuck. The other day, I posted this on Instagram and it really resonated, so I figured it was high time to do a motivational minisode to help you out in those moments you feel stuck. You aren't stuck. You stopped. There's a difference. https://primalpotential.com/563/ 5 Reminders To Free Yourself When...

If you're living together but have different health goals and priorities, how do you navigate it? That's one of the most common questions I get about my relationships. My boyfriend and I are now living together but we have very different lifestyles and personalities. Though we are in no way relationship experts, today we're answering your questions about love, food, weight, personality differences...

Most of my clients set goals for themselves. Most of them are going about it the wrong way. Why do you think so many people who set a goal of weight loss end up regaining the weight? Why do so many people who get out of debt shortly reaccumulate it? My friends, as you set goals for yourself, I want you to keep in mind that there is a massive difference between external goals and internal targets....

Change feels hard. I get it. Often, it feels hard because we're going about it the wrong way. Our tendency is to focus on changing our actions and our choices. What this approach overlooks is the simple fact that our thoughts drive our choices. Conscious or subsconscious, a series of thoughts predede our choices and talk us into or out of whatever decision we make. If you don't change your thought...

For years, I've been a huge fan of journaling. Recently, I've made a shift in the way I journal that has completely changed the game. It's made me happier, more present, more confident and more productive. A few of my Masters Club members have begun journaling this way, too, and today you'll hear from both of us. How are we journaling? What does it look like? How did we start? One of the reasons p...

The answer isn't always the truth. Today we're talking about two different but very deceptive thought patterns that keep people from creating change in their lives. One is the mindset of "I know", where you dismiss information, strategies and tools you're already familiar with instead of grabbing the opportunity presented by the reminder to take action on them. It really doesn't matter if you "you...

Do you rationalize choices that hold you back? Is it possible that you're actually telling rational lies? Just because it's your answer doesn't mean it's the truth. In today's episode, we're looking at rational lies, times when we rationalize and how to break the patterns that keep us from living the lives we want. https://primalpotential.com/557/ Resources: Get your copy of Chasing Cupcakes Ready...

First we make our stories, then our stories make us. We are story tellers. You are a master story teller. Whether you're conscious of it or not, you make about stories about everything that happens around you, about every choice you make, every single day. When I say "stories" that DOESN'T mean you made something up. Your story is the meaning you attach to your experiences. Your story can take you...

I used to think in terms of what I didn't want. I didn't want to be so overweight. I didn't want to overeat so frequently. I didn't want to feel so out of control. I didn't want to be unhappy, lonely or isolated. I didn't want to have so much debt. You get the picture. If I had to choose a sound effect to represent how I felt at that point in my life, it would have been a groan. Ugh. Exasperation....

I've been thinking a lot about the life & business I want to create in 2019. I shared a lot of those details in episode 549 of the podcast. I missed out on a LOT of my life. There are decades, relationships and experiences that I can't get back. In saying "yes" to food, saying "no" to happiness and relationships, I destroyed a lot of relationships and experiences. I don't want to live that way nay...

I used to use stress, pressure, chaos and crisis as reasons to not take care of myself. As soon as life got hard, I'd stop trying. I'd stop making good food choices, I'd stop going to the gym, I'd stop being financially responsible. I'd check out.  I'll be the first to admit that it's not always easy to do the right things when it feels like you're in crisis mode, but there are a few things I knew...

At long, long last, my first book - Chasing Cupcakes - is finally available!  It would have been easy to write a book about nutrition, hormones or fat loss, but that's not the book I wanted to write. I wanted to write a book that hadn't already been written. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of amazing books about nutrition, hormones and fat loss. Besides, that wasn't the book I needed when I...

What is my food philosophy? What is yours? Do you have one? Are you living like it? I talk a lot about food and share a lot of the way I eat and the way I don't eat, but today I want to share with you exactly what my food philosophy is. It's not about macros. It's not about calories. It's not even about fat loss. You might be surprised by a few things and I'm so excited to share it with you! https...

Today I'm sharing my coaching method with you. This isn't just how I work with clients, it's how I coach myself. I'm not on a diet and I don't "put" my clients on a diet. I'm not into guilt, drama, negativity, sacrifice or an obsession with a "goal weight". Today I'll share with you my thoughts on paying attention, aligning your thoughts with what you want, creating change via evolution, not revol...

It's the final episode of 2018 and today I'm sharing my process of reflecting on the past year and creating priorities and plans for the one to come. A year-end review is something I've come to love and enjoy at the end of every year. In fact, I've been doing a month-end review for the last several months and I absolutely plan to continue. Join me today to not only hear the structure I follow in t...

You know what to do but you aren't consistently doing it. You're super clear on the problem, but you aren't holding yourself accountable to taking action on creating the solution. You think about it all the time. You wish things were different. Maybe you're frustrated or sometimes feel disappointed in yourself and your choices. I have those conversations every single day. This week in particular,...

We are so quick to spread ideas that are negative. We're quick to share about the problems in our lives or the things that upset us, and while I think being open is valuable, I also think it's high time to start spreading some ideas that make us better - that make us happier and healthier while improving all the relationships in our lives (especially the relationships we have with ourselves). How'...

Not long ago, someone asked me if I'd provide transcripts for the 12 WT weekly challenge webinars. Then, I got a similar question about the format of the 12 Weeks to Transformation. My answer to both requests was the same... "Is the information in the 12 Weeks to Transformation all videos? If so, is there any way to have a transcript of the content? I don't retain information very well when it is...

Episode 543 of the podcast was one of the most popular ones to date! By popular demand, we're doing a follow-up episode to talk about how we can improve our responses to what we perceive as judgement from others. If you want to build self confidence, improve your relationships or simply be a happier version of yourself, this episode is for you. We'll be tackling listener questions about judgement...

There are 3 things I've just begun practicing to improve both my health and my happiness. In today's episode, I'm sharing them with you and giving some examples of what the practice looks like in my daily life. I'm already convinced that these will improve my relationships AND increase my productivity and success! I'd love to know if any (or all) of these 3 resonate with you OR if there are other...

Insecurity. Fear of what others think. We're going there today, not to have a theoretical discussion, but to talk about strategies and perspectives that will help each one of us stop letting those feelings limit our lives. It's a choice. We feel those feelings, think those thoughts and face those fears but we don't need to submit to them. If you have follow-up questions or comments on this topic,...

Today I have the great pleasure of talking with Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine (a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner) about their newest book, Real Food Keto. First and foremost, this episode is about far more than ketogenic diets. Even if you aren't a ketogenic eater, you want to listen to this episode. I was so excited to see a book come on the market that focuses on real food and nutrient den...

Have you ever heard of the first rule of holes? I'm happy to share it with you. The first rule of holes is: stop digging. If you want to create a change in your life, the first thing you have to do is change the way you think. If you want to create a solution in your life, you have to stop arguing for, justifying and reinforcing the problem. In today's episode, we'll talk through examples and stra...
