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

You’re not confused about your goals. You’re not unclear on what matters. You want change — so why aren’t you following through? That question came up again and again in this past week’s check-ins, so I pulled the most common themes and patterns and unpacked them here. This episode is for anyone who feels frustrated that their actions don’t line up with their intentions — and wants practical tools to break that cycle. We’ll talk about: Why “this one thing won’t hurt” is keeping you stuck The danger of vague excuses like “I just let it get away from me” How to define the ideal — and why you need a vision to move toward The real difference between having a plan and being prepared to execute How to use “the lifespan of pleasure” to make better decisions And the skill that matters most when you drift off track (spoiler: it’s not willpower)

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.

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,” t

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.

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.

If you’re waiting to feel confident, prepared, or fully equipped before you go after your goal — this episode is your wake-up call. In this raw and honest solo show, I’m sharing lessons from a recent experience hosting the very first gala for the Dagny Foundation — including what it taught me about discomfort, asking for help, scrappy problem-solving, and why we often stay stuck by thinking the same old thoughts. I’ll walk you through the biggest mindset shifts that helped me get through something I didn’t feel ready for — and how those same shifts apply directly to your goals. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, overwhelmed, or afraid to start, this is the conversation you need to hear. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck ✅ How discomfort can actually be a green light for growth ✅ Why asking for help is your power move, not your weakness ✅ Real examples of resourcefulness in action ✅ How to stop thinking inside the same limiting mental box ✅ Why what you’re dreading i

We’ve all done it. Started strong. Felt focused. Made a plan. And then… disappeared on ourselves. We check out. Drift. Ghost our own goals. Not because we don’t care. Not because we’re lazy. But because somewhere along the way, doing the work stopped feeling desirable. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons we stop showing up—and how to finally change the pattern. Because this isn’t just about missing a few days. It’s about rebuilding trust with yourself and learning how to stay—especially when it’s hard. In this episode, we’ll talk about: Why your mindset and your strategy both shape your consistency The subtle beliefs that make not showing up feel easier How “eating your emotions” and “self-sabotage” are keeping you vague and stuck Why you need to practice disappointment (yes, really) What overstimulation is doing to your focus—and how to reset it Why showing up at 2% effort still counts (sometimes, it counts more) You’ll also hear how I use these same principles in my own life—an

Is AI your new accountability partner… or just another shiny distraction? In this episode, I’m sharing a real, nuanced conversation about the rise of AI tools—how they can support your goals, where they fall short, and why none of it matters if you’re still skipping the root work. I use AI. I love it. It’s smart, fast, and powerful. But I’m seeing more and more people treat it like a replacement for coaching, for community, for consistency—and that’s where things get dangerous.

Let’s talk about something a lot of people get wrong. Grace is not the same thing as giving yourself a pass. It’s not pretending the slip didn’t happen, and it’s not code for “oh well, I’ll try again tomorrow.” In this episode, we’re breaking down the critical difference between giving yourself grace and letting yourself off the hook — and why that distinction might be the key to finally building the consistency you’ve been chasing. I’m sharing personal stories, powerful mindset shifts, and a simple way to move forward when things don’t go as planned — without spiraling, shaming, or slipping into all-or-nothing thinking.

We’ve all been there — an emotion hits hard, and before we even realize it, we’ve abandoned our plan, quit on the day, or convinced ourselves that we’re off track. But what if there’s another way? In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between emotional spiral and emotional sobriety — and how emotional leadership is the missing link for so many people struggling with inconsistency. You’ll hear real-life examples, practical reflection questions, and simple steps to start shifting your patterns right now. If you’re ready to stop following your feelings and start leading yourself through them, this one’s for you.

We all have moments where everything feels hard—parenting, food choices, work, motivation. But what if the real problem isn’t the hard? What if it’s the headline we keep writing about it? In this episode, we’re talking about how your internal headlines, orientation, and daily anchors shape your progress—or your struggle. Because it’s not just about effort. It’s about direction. And if you’re not tethered to the right things, you will drift.

Ever notice how your hardest decisions—like skipping a workout or reaching for junk food—usually happen when you're tired, stressed, or just done? In today’s episode, I’m sharing a simple but game-changing tool I use in those moments: The 3-Minute Rule. This isn't about forcing willpower or waiting to "feel like it." It's about giving yourself three intentional minutes to shift where you're making the decision from—so you can choose with clarity, not chaos.
