If you feel like you're constantly falling off track with your goals — whether it's nutrition, fitness, business, or finances — there's a high likelihood you're missing something foundational:
🧱 A framework for flourishing.
In this episode, Elizabeth introduces the concept of the trellis — a structure of support that helps you grow, sustain progress, and eliminate the chaos of decision fatigue. You'll learn why structure is not restriction, how to create personal systems that actually reduce resistance, and how to build standards that work in real life (not just in theory).
We'll also dive into:
-
Why most people overestimate discipline and underestimate structure
-
How to reframe "rules" and "boundaries" as support — not punishment
-
What it really means to build a trellis for your growth
-
The two biggest mistakes people make when trying to be more consistent
-
The real role of emotional sobriety when resistance shows up
-
Why it's better to keep a small promise than break a bold one
Plus, Elizabeth shares personal and client examples — from breakfast routines to alcohol boundaries — to illustrate how building a supportive structure can be both simple and powerful.
You don't need to be stricter.
You need support.
You don't need motivation.
You need a trellis.

| 0:00.0 | What? No normal intro. Welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. This is not our |
| 0:07.4 | normal intro because this is not our normal podcast episode. We are in a 10 episode series called |
| 0:14.9 | the consistency vault because this is a great time of year to talk about one of the biggest flaws that we make |
| 0:24.1 | when pursuing our goals. We focus so much on the habits we want to acquire and build, |
| 0:30.8 | the things we want to do more of or stop doing, but we struggle with consistency because we've never pursued consistency as a skill set. |
| 0:42.3 | Instead, we're just relying on self-discipline, motivation, willpower, all of which are great |
| 0:48.9 | things. But of course, they lack the staying power of consistency. |
| 0:56.8 | And so we feel like we do well for a little bit and then we don't do well for a little bit |
| 1:01.3 | and we're trying to find our footing and make our way back. |
| 1:04.2 | And it's a series of always striving and never really arriving. |
| 1:08.3 | We can end that if we intentionally build this skill of consistency, |
| 1:13.1 | which is what we're talking about in this consistency vault series. If you're enjoying this, |
| 1:18.8 | I would love it if you would take a second to make sure you're subscribed to the show, |
| 1:22.6 | turn on notifications, leave a rating and review, guys, it really makes a big difference, |
| 1:26.9 | and it would mean the world |
| 1:27.9 | to me if you would take 15 seconds out of your day to do that. And of course, share this series |
| 1:34.1 | with somebody. I think it would be extra powerful, even more helpful to listen to these episodes, |
| 1:40.3 | to take action on these episodes with a friend or a loved one. |
| 1:45.1 | So have them start at episode one of The Vault. |
| 1:48.5 | Let's get into today's topic. |
| 1:51.7 | Let me ask you a question. |
| 1:53.7 | Think about an area of your life where you struggle the most. |
