Too many of us stay busy doing things that don't really matter. We live in a self-created vortex of tasks and work, rarely pausing to consider: Is this necessary? Is it working? Is it improving my life? Is the return on this worth the time and energy it requires? I read something the other day that I'm certain will improve my relationships, my work-life and my health. Not surprisingly, it wasn't a...

If I challenged you to complete a broad jump - to leap forward as far as you can - where would you place your feet before jumping? If your feet are spread too wide, you lose power. You can't initate a powerful leap if your feet are spread wider than your hips. Similarly, you can't jump as far if your feet are too close together. It's pretty common for fitness coaches and trainers to correct someon...

Are you dealing with doubt? Is your doubt keeping you from trying? Is your doubt keeping you from consistency? When we doubt our ability to create or maintain change, we're looking at it wrong. We're overlooking who we become in the process. When you focus on winning the day you're in, you become a person capable of more than you're capable of now. If doubt keeps you from doing your best, this epi...

Recently, a few of my 12 Weeks to Transformation clients asked if I'd be willing to do a podcast on the idea of emotional sobriety. Of course I said yes! One of the most insidious barriers to change is going through your life making decisions in moments when your under the influence of emotion. If you continue to let emotions dominate your decision making progress, you'll continue to struggle. In...

The Primal Potential podcast is your podcast. This show is your show. It's not a platform for me to talk about things I think are important - it's a platform for me to help you help yourself. That's why today is a listener Q&A on all things success and progress! Over on Instagram, I asked what you want to hear about and the questions came pouring in! Today we're talking about everything from stayi...

What is the metabolic effect of overeating or binging? While we can mentally and emotionally reset, our body isn't so quick to reset just because it's a new day. I don't know about you, but I used to convince myself that each new day was a reset. While that is absolutely true for each day (and even each moment) in our minds, we can't deny that there are lasting metabolic and hormonal effects to ov...

If I could wave my magic wand and change your mind in some way, here are the three things I would immediately change... Before I tell you what they are, let me tell you how this came about. I have a personal coaching practice that helps me help my clients. I routinely ask myself, " What are my clients teaching me? If I could wave my magic wand and give them a skill or perspective that would make t...

In episode 521 of the podcast, I shared my personal story of becoming debt free. I go into detail about how I started, the process I followed and how I handled struggles like my then-husband not being totally on-board with the idea. I also had my sister on the show - she is currently paying down her debt and overcoming the hurdles of massive student loans and a modest salary. In today's episode I'...

Getting out of debt changed my life. I wasn't always good with my money. I didn't make much and I spent more than I took home. Getting out of debt didn't happen quickly and it wouldn't have happened at all if I continued to make excuses and prioritize pleasure over happiness. Last week on Instagram, I asked you guys to vote on which topic you'd rather hear about today: fasting or getting out of de...

Recently, one of my summer clients shared a bit of her transformation with me - she's lost weight, improved her mood, eliminated her cravings and overcome a sugar addiction.

"To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." ~ Charlie Munger For most of my life, my only approach to fat loss was more restriction and more deprivation. I was so caught up in the misery of the problem that I wasn't being strategic in my approach. I returned to a strategy, over and over again, that didn't work for me. In today's episode we're going to talk about the common strategies p...

Your body fat is not inert. It is actually an active, endocrine organ that produces and secretes hormones and inflammatory cytokines. This is one of many reasons that an "eat less, exercise more" approach to fat loss is often ineffective and insufficient. In today's episode we're talking about an approach to health and fat loss that will not only make you feel better, but will improve your health...

September is a natural time to check in with yourself and course-correct as needed. Summer is over, the kids are back to school, and the new year is right around the corner.

If you need some motivation and encouragement, you'll want to listen to today's episode! I was recently talking to an OBGYN client who wanted to know my thoughts and ideas on how she could motivate her patients to take action on the nutrition information she gives them.

As I shared in episode 509, I recently completed my CrossFit Level 1 Training. It really got me thinking about how I can make sure I'm not simply going through the motions of exercise, but that I'm really doing the right things for my body and my goals. Too many people 'check the box' by going to the gym, but they aren't increasing their fitness or moving towards their goal of fat loss. I texted m...

There IS a way out and we're talking about those strategies today. I'll...

We are stepping up to clear the confusion today.
