Primal Potential - The Anti-diet Solution To Mastering Fat Loss Naturally

You've made the plan. You've set the goal. You even want it more than anything. So why do you keep falling off? In this final episode of The Vault series on building the skill of consistency, we're exploring one of the most critical (and overlooked) pieces of sustainable change: your willingness. It's not about whether you want it. It's not about whether you know what to do. It's about whether your plans match what you're actually willing to do — consistently. Inside this episode: Why aspiration-based plans fail How to find your current "willingness threshold" Why lowering the bar (temporarily) helps you move forward faster How your willingness shifts — and how to use that to your advantage This episode is a must-listen if you've ever said: "I know what to do. I just don't do it." Let's close out this 10-part series strong — with the mindset shift that makes everything else stick.

Do you ever feel like you always fall into the same patterns? You're consistent for a little while… You make progress… Then suddenly—something derails you. Again. And you're stuck in the same loop. What if the real issue isn't your motivation or your willpower— What if it's the story you keep telling yourself? In this episode, we're digging into one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, forces shaping your results: the beliefs and narratives running in the background of your mind. The ones you don't even realize are optional. The ones that feel like facts. We'll explore how: Your patterns mirror your perspective Your beliefs become the track your life runs on Most people are living according to unexamined stories that sabotage their consistency And most importantly, how to recognize these stories— …and upgrade them so your habits and results can finally change. You don't want to miss this one.

We cannot have a real conversation about consistency without naming the trap so many of us live inside: procrastination.  In this episode, we're exposing the patterns and beliefs that make it so easy to delay the actions that move us forward. We've become experts at convincing ourselves that later is better, that tomorrow makes more sense, and that it's okay to wait. But what if procrastination isn't a neutral delay? What if it's the most expensive invisible cost in your life? What if it's the very thing keeping you from the joy, pride, and results that you deeply want? We'll unpack: Why procrastination has become your default operating system How putting something off often feels like a smart move — even when it's a dangerous one The real-time cost of pushing things to tomorrow (spoiler: it adds difficulty, friction, and emotional weight) The simple mindset shift that will help you make decisions that support your future instead of sabotage it Whether you're constantly saying "I'll start to

You say your health matters. You say your marriage matters. You say your faith comes first. But… does your time reflect that? Do your excuses reflect that? In this episode of The Consistency Vault, we're taking an unfiltered look at the value void — the painful but powerful gap between what you say you care about… and what your actions actually prioritize. We talk about: Why your calendar and your excuses tell the real story of your values How most people make decisions based on fear or comfort, not their true priorities What it means to build consistency around what matters most (even in busy seasons) How to stop defaulting to urgency and start leading with intention Real-life examples of how this value void shows up — and how to fix it If you've ever said: "I don't have time to work out" "I'm too tired to cook" "I'll get back on track when things calm down" …this episode is your wake-up call. Your values don't live in your intentions. They live in your decisions.

In today's episode of The Consistency Series, we're breaking down one of the most overlooked reasons people stay in the cycle of starting over: vague language. "I'm stuck." "This is hard." "I'm too tired." "I don't have time." These phrases feel honest — but they're so vague, they're often more misleading than helpful. And without specificity, we justify compromises, create false urgency, and keep ourselves from the progress we say we want. Inside this episode, you'll learn: Why vague language leads to self-deception, not self-awareness The real cost of generalizations like "I'm stuck" or "this is hard" How specificity becomes a strategy for consistency Questions to shift from emotional reasoning to empowered decision-making You don't need to overhaul your life. You just need to tell the whole truth — and give your effort a place to land.

If you feel like you're constantly falling off track with your goals — whether it's nutrition, fitness, business, or finances — there's a high likelihood you're missing something foundational:

If you've ever found yourself spiraling in indecision… Bouncing between plans… Or endlessly researching the "best" way to lose weight, get back on track, or grow your business... This episode is your wake-up call. Because often, when things feel complicated — the real issue isn't clarity. It's commitment.

Emotional Sobriety: The Missing Skill That Protects Your Consistency

"I was doing great… until I got sick." "It was a stressful day, so I blew it." "It's the weekend. I'll get back on track Monday." Sound familiar? If you've ever felt like you're either "on" or "off," you're not alone — but that approach is keeping you stuck. This episode breaks down one of the most important mindset shifts you'll ever make:

You've probably said it before: "I was doing great… until life got busy." "I messed up, so the whole day is shot." "I just can't stay consistent." But what if you're not struggling with consistency at all? What if you've actually been chasing compliance — and that's exactly why you keep starting over? In this powerful kickoff to our 10-part Consistency Vault series, we're exposing the hidden trap that's keeping so many capable, motivated people stuck in the cycle of "on again, off again" progress. Here's what we cover: Why compliance feels like consistency — and how to tell the difference The single mindset shift that ends the cycle of starting over What to do when you mess up (because you will) Why most plans fail — even good ones — and how to make yours stick

What if the key to becoming more confident, resilient, and self-respecting isn't a big transformation... but a daily dose of hard? In this episode, Elizabeth shares the powerful concept of microdosing hard — how to apply small, intentional challenges in your day to strengthen your mindset, discipline, and self-trust. From parenting to personal development, you'll learn how embracing discomfort can completely shift your trajectory. Plus, hear insights from real DEFENSE clients who've used these tools to get unstuck and start showing up like never before. Whether it's a cold shower, a tough conversation, or sitting in silence instead of numbing — microdosing hard might be the exact shift you didn't know you needed.

Modern anxiety isn't just emotional. It's chemical — and it's being triggered and sustained by the way we're living, consuming, and overstimulating ourselves every single day. In this powerful, personal episode, Elizabeth pulls back the curtain on what's really happening when we feel anxious for "no reason" — and shares the neurochemical truth about dopamine, oxytocin, cortisol, and inflammation. If you're constantly in your head, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or one step away from panic — this conversation will shift everything. You'll also hear the exact strategy Elizabeth is using to reclaim peace and presence in her everyday life — without deleting her business, becoming a monk, or pretending life isn't loud and full.

What if your next breakthrough isn't about doing more — but responding better when you don't follow through? In this episode, I'm sharing key lessons from our latest Defense cohort — the real work we do when the plan falls apart. Because starting strong is easy. Staying engaged when things get messy? That's the game. We'll talk about: What "Defense" actually means (and why most people don't have one) Why chasing novelty is keeping you stuck The power of short-term focus, discipline, and tightening your transitions Highlights from the actual Defense playbooks — the strategies that work in real life If you've ever felt like you know what to do but you just don't do it — this episode is for you. ✨ MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The true cost of indecision Why we swing between over-control and no control Specificity, structure gaps, and transitional moments The real reason your progress stalls (it's not what you think) ✅ CALLS TO ACTION 1.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I didn't fully realize was impacting me — and maybe it's impacting you too. If you've been feeling irritated, overwhelmed, scattered, or like you know what to do but just can't seem to follow through, this episode will shift something major for you. We're talking about constant input — the slow, invisible overload that comes from podcasts, YouTube, group chats, Audible, social media… even the "positive" stuff like inspiration and education. Because here's the truth: You're not unmotivated. You're overloaded. And the more you consume, the harder it becomes to follow through. We break down: Why information overload kills your clarity and consistency How this input creep drains not just your time, but your emotional energy Why follow-through feels harder than ever (and what to do about it) And how to create more space for peace, progress, and presence in your life This isn't about deleting your apps or doing a digital detox. It's about rec

You say you want to eat better… You want to feel better… But something always seems to pull you off track. This episode is part two of our 2026 Success Series, and we're talking specifically about weight loss, nutrition, and your relationship with food. No more vague intentions. No more strict plans that don't fit real life. No more relying on willpower, then beating yourself up when it fails.

5 Shifts You Must Make Before 2026 — If You Want to Follow Through This Year Part 1 of 2: Foundational Strategies for Real, Lasting Change What if 2026 didn't start with vague goals or false promises… but with a completely new strategy for follow-through?

In this fun and personal episode, I'm sharing what I actually want for Christmas this year — and spoiler alert: it's not much "stuff." From a sauna hat and a flip phone to natural fiber underwear (yes, really), I'm walking you through the practical, intentional, and meaningful things I'm excited about this season. I'm also opening up about some deeper shifts — like why we're keeping Christmas simple for the kids, what our upcoming bedroom swap means to me, and the kind of experiences I want to create around the dinner table. You'll also hear: Why I'm buying myself a flip phone How I'm thinking about "less is more" with kids' gifts The grain mill I can't wait to use What I want to create that can't be wrapped And why I'm leaning into connection over consumption this year This episode is all about intentionality over impulse, presence over presents, and creating a holiday season that feels peaceful, simple, and aligned with the life I want to build. If you're feeling the pull toward less doing, more

f you're eating healthy, working out, doing "all the things," but still feel like your weight isn't budging — you have to hear this. In this episode, I'm walking you through one of the biggest (and most overlooked) blocks to weight loss: chronic, low-grade inflammation. We're going beyond the basics. This isn't just "sugar is inflammatory" or "cut processed food." We're talking about the cumulative, daily impact of everything from your toothpaste to your sleep schedule, your stress, your gut, your hormones, and more.

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're not broken. You're just fighting against your environment—and it's a losing battle. In this episode, Elizabeth gets real about the truth we all feel but rarely talk about: Your willpower will never beat your environment. From overflowing mudrooms to cluttered kitchen counters, chaotic homes create chaotic minds—and chaotic minds make impulsive decisions. Sound familiar? This episode dives into: Why your space might be silently sabotaging your progress How clutter triggers stress, reactivity, and that "I need a break" urge The common household patterns that wear down your willpower And most importantly—6 simple things you can do to make your environment support your goals, not destroy them You don't need a Pinterest-worthy house. You need a space that lets you breathe. You'll hear real-life, messy, relatable examples—like: Why there are 77 shoes in the mudroom (with only 5 people in the house) The Ninja Creamy that hasn't moved in months How t

It's easy to get caught up in all the health trends—saunas, red light therapy, cold plunges, expensive supplements—but at the end of the day, nothing will trump the basics. In this episode, I'm walking you through two lifestyle changes I've made recently that are supporting my health in a big way. One is a little "crunchy," and one is super accessible. Neither replaces the big rocks of health (like reducing processed foods, stabilizing blood sugar, managing stress, and getting good sleep), but both have helped me reinforce the foundation. Here's what we dive into: Why I started milling our own flour (and what you're really getting in store-bought flour) What "bleached" flour actually means—and what that's doing to your body What's really in dough conditioners (and why you want to avoid them) How fresh-milled flour tastes better, saves money, and massively improves nutrient density The simple morning fiber drink I take with psyllium husk and citrus How fiber helps you detox and reduce inflammation
