Summary

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)

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.
0:30.3	Welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. Thanks so much for joining me.
0:35.8	This is our last episode of 2025,
0:38.7	bananas, but here we are. And I wanted to do something fun and different today. And I want to
0:43.9	take you inside some of the playbooks that I've created with clients going through my eight-week
0:51.3	defense program. So we are just wrapping up our latest eight-week cohort,
0:57.6	and we finish with sort of a synthesis and distillation of eight weeks of paying attention
1:02.7	to what gets in the way and what we can do about it. And I want to give you a sneak peek inside of
1:09.5	that. But first, if you haven't heard me talk about
1:12.0	defense before, what I want to, what I'm always looking to do with defense is basically take an
1:20.9	opposite approach to the way most people go about their goals. When offense has failed,
1:25.8	meaning when all of your attempts to do more of this and do less
1:29.6	of that and add this in and start doing this, when those continue to not work and it feels like
1:35.8	the same type of things get in the way over and over, whether that is your excuses or your
1:40.7	circumstances or your thoughts or some combination.
1:51.8	Defense is about putting together strategies for where and how it seems to always fall apart for you.
1:52.7	All right.
