Summary
Ready for real support, real structure, and real momentum? Scholarship applications for DEFENSE Foundations are open now ahead of our April 1 start. If you know you need more than willpower and want to stop doing this alone, complete your application today.
In this episode, I'm talking about the power of running with a pack, not just having people around you, but having the right people around you.
People who won't let you spiral.
People who won't co-sign your excuses.
People who won't help you stay stuck.
One of the greatest gifts in my life is having people who help me protect my standards when I'm tired, emotional, discouraged, or tempted to slip into old patterns. That's true in marriage, motherhood, business, and health.
And the truth is, most of us have been sold a lie about independence.
We've been taught that doing it alone is strong.
That needing help is weakness.
That we should be able to figure it out ourselves.
But isolation is expensive.
In this episode, I talk about why the right kind of support changes everything, what it really means to "run with a pack," and why so many people stay stuck simply because they are trying to carry alone what was never meant to be carried alone.

| 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 and welcome back |
| 0:31.0 | to the Primal Potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. Thanks so much for joining me for today's |
| 0:36.8 | episode. You get the benefit of the |
| 0:38.9 | fact that I went to a marriage conference last week. But this is not an episode on marriage, because I |
| 0:45.2 | would be wholly unqualified to speak on the topic. But one of the things that came up sort of as a |
| 0:52.7 | result of really the entire weekend was the power |
| 0:58.6 | of running with a pack. |
| 1:00.2 | And I do not mean that in some way of like, you need to have a lot of friends and community |
| 1:05.7 | matters because A, people probably know that. |
| 1:09.6 | B, I'm an introvert. |
| 1:14.4 | And C, this is actually very different and much more strategic, and a pack is way more than community. A pack functions very differently than just |
| 1:21.9 | friendships or people who you're close to or people around you. |
| 1:34.2 | One of the greatest advantages in my life, and this is certainly something that's evolved over the last, say, five years is having people around me who will not let me become a |
| 1:42.1 | worse version of myself on account of being tired, frustrated, angry, |
| 1:48.1 | emotional, discouraged, or stuck. And I was telling my husband that I am just so incredibly |
| 1:55.9 | grateful that we've gone out of our way to develop relationships |
| 2:01.6 | with couples that really function to protect our marriage. |
| 2:05.6 | You know, I can go to these friends and say, I'm frustrated, |
