🎙️ Ep. [Day 5] — The Missing Ingredient: Why You’re Not Meant to Do This Alone
Description:
We are drowning in advice yet still starving for real, lasting change. And it’s not because we’re lazy. It’s not a willpower issue. Most of the time, it’s not even strategy.
It’s a relationship problem.
In this final episode of the Pivot Point series, Elizabeth gets personal about the real reason so many of us keep quitting, circling, and spinning our wheels even when we “know better.” We’ve over-indexed on information and under-indexed on support.
💡 You might have 100 people who’ll wish you a happy birthday… but not one person who knows you’re slipping back into old habits.
💡 You might post your goals and get tons of “You’ve got this!” comments… but nobody texting you on Wednesday night when you’re ready to quit.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unsupported, or unsure why you can’t keep going, this episode will speak to you. It’s time to stop doing it all alone and start building the kind of connection that fuels real change.
🔑 In this episode:
-
Why more info ≠ more progress (and what’s really missing)
-
What surface-level connection is costing you
-
The “butt power” lesson from Day 4 and why we abandon too soon
-
A real story about someone stuck in the loop of overlearning and under-implementing
-
How deep relationships, not hype or novelty, drive lasting change
-
Why most of us are only as strong as our best day and how to tap into collective strength instead
-
What to do if you’re an introvert, a solopreneur, or someone who’s “fine doing it alone”

Let today be the pivot.

| 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. |
| 0:29.4 | Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the primal potential podcast and to day five of our pivot point |
| 0:36.9 | framework. I'm really excited about today's topic. |
| 0:41.2 | And I'm honestly kind of bummed that this isn't a message that I heard six, seven, eight, |
| 0:46.5 | nine years ago or heck, where was this when I was like 15, to be honest with you? But better late |
| 0:53.2 | than never. If information were enough, |
| 0:57.5 | we'd all be where we want to be, right? If hearing this and resetting your mind was enough, |
| 1:03.4 | we'd all be there. There were more books than you can possibly read, more podcasts than you |
| 1:08.6 | could ever possibly listen to, more free downloads. |
| 1:11.1 | You can learn just about anything for free on the internet. And yet, we're still feeling stuck |
| 1:18.0 | and we're still struggling. And we're still hoping that our traction will last for more |
| 1:23.3 | than the few days it normally lasts. But here's where we're missing it. We are drowning in |
| 1:31.6 | advice, but still starving for real change. And I want to suggest that this isn't about willpower, |
| 1:39.6 | it's certainly not about laziness. It's rarely even just strategy. But the primary thing missing is relationships, |
| 1:49.0 | right? We are over-indexed on information and under-indexed on support. We're more surface-level |
| 1:57.7 | connected than ever, but a lot of us, maybe even most of us, maybe even the majority |
| 2:04.0 | of people are more isolated than they've ever been. I've talked about this before. I heard |
| 2:11.0 | it said as like 100 people who will wish you a happy birthday, but nobody who can help you move |
