Summary

🔍 Episode Description:

But first! Take the quiz to identify your primary barrier to consistency: primalpotential.com/quiz

Let’s talk about what you’re avoiding — the scale, the check-in, the budget, the truth. Not because you don’t know… but because you don’t want to face it.

In this episode, we dive into Blind Spot Culture — the subtle but powerful way we avoid clarity and call it "grace" or "self-care" while continuing to drift. Whether it’s telling yourself food is comfort, or skipping your check-in because “you already know it was a bad week,” this kind of avoidance is robbing you of the change you say you want.

We’ll unpack:

What blind spots really are (hint: they’re not about ignorance)
Why we avoid feedback, mirrors, and metrics
How “comfort” habits like overeating are masking deeper needs
What it’s actually costing you to avoid facing the truth
Simple ways to break free from the patterns that are keeping you stuck

If you're ready to stop drifting and finally build momentum, this episode is a must-listen.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

Avoidance isn’t protection — it’s a trap.
The truth doesn’t get more painful when you face it — it gets more useful.
Food, distractions, and "grace" are often just blind spots in disguise.
The moment you look is the moment you take your power back.

🎯 Ready to Break the Cycle?

If you’re stuck in a pattern of inconsistency — start by identifying what’s actually in your way.
