Summary

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.

0:00.0	If you want to be more consistent, you're in the right place. I'm Elizabeth Benton. Welcome to
0:07.1	Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of
0:13.3	progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically
0:20.5	chasing new habits and start
0:22.6	strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it. Hello everybody. Welcome
0:31.1	back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. Thanks so much for joining me today. I think you're going to get a lot out of
0:38.9	this episode. And here's where it came from. It came from me brainstorming and daydreaming about
0:45.9	how I can approach the spring summer differently so that I enjoy the hell out of it and also make progress towards
0:56.1	my goals.
0:57.3	For so long, I thought those things couldn't go together.
0:59.8	Like, I can't live fully and have a blast and also make progress towards my goals because
1:05.2	so often the path that I chose for progress felt like kind of living under lockdown.
1:14.7	And that didn't feel good. And with every season comes more experience and with increasing
1:21.5	age comes more wisdom. And for me, I've realized where I live, I live on Cape Cod and it's, you know, beach and fun weather
1:33.1	and spring and summer is like everything, right?
1:36.7	Plus, I have three young kids.
1:40.0	And what I've realized is in every way, in my work, in my time management, in how the days go,
1:47.8	I want to create spring and summer to be a little bit more different, to be more flexible
1:53.8	work-wise, even if that means I'm getting up a lot earlier so that I have more freedom in my days.
2:00.7	That's sort of what spurred this.
2:02.5	How can I have a different approach to the spring and the summer so that there's more
2:08.2	time for fun and more time for play and more time for true enjoyment and living fully,
