CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

I want to challenge you today. I want to show you how to silence your inner critic. You know, that voice that says, "I'll do it tomorrow" or "I can't" or "This is so hard". That voice. How do we make it go away? There’s no strategy, no plan, no protocol, no diet that will work if you don’t get out of your own way & do the work. Unfortunately, many of us stay stuck for too long, if not forever, in...

I can't tell you how often people email me and say, "I'm doing everything right & it's not working". Here's what I say in response: "If it's not working, you're not doing everything right" You need to keep in mind that your mental construct of what's "right" might be holding you back because if it's not working for you, it's not right for you. It might be right for someone else. It might have been...

Let's talk about your goals. How's it going? Or, maybe, WTF happened? Is there a gap between what you said you were going to do and what you've actually been doing?

In today's listener Q&A podcast I'm going to share my thoughts on listener questions related to lack of momentum, feeling stuck in a rut and battling cravings. Don't for...

Sometimes we get stuck in this trap of focusing more on consuming information than on implementing it. And often, we get a false sense of affirmation from all this learning, as if we've actually DONE something and we haven't. Information is awesome. Learning is wonderful. But there is no value in it without implementation. In today's episode I want to help you bridge this gap between learning and...

Specifically, in this overfed and undernourished 2 part series, I want to talk about 5 nutrients I feel...

We need to have a little chat about starting strong versus staying strong. I've been getting a lot of emails lately from people saying that they need a fresh start, the new to begin again, they need a clean slate. Do you need to reset? Does that make sense? Or might that be the exact reason you're not seeing the progress you want? I actually think that the resets, fresh starts and do-overs are act...
