Summary
What if you decided that the thing you're struggling with, the obstacle in your way, the valid excuse in your life, the true barrier isn't actually a burden at all. What if you decided that it's a chance, it's an opportunity for you to step up, show up for yourself and prove just how damn strong you are?
That's the challenge I gave to Sarah, my FLFT client on today's episode.
Sarah is a working mom. Not only does she have 4 kids, she works 24-hour shifts as a flight paramedic.
She shares a real, valid challenge in today's episode and we completely turn it on it's head and decide it's a chance. A really exciting chance. Don't miss it!

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |
| 0:13.7 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.2 | Let's get started. |
| 0:23.6 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:29.2 | It is me, Elizabeth Benton and even though the free webinar series is behind us, |
| 0:37.1 | we are back with another episode where I am having a really candid and quite frankly |
| 0:43.0 | powerful discussion with one of my clients now. She is something special. She is a mom of four. |
| 0:50.3 | She has one kid who is grown in out of the house, she has two in school ages and then she has a |
| 0:55.5 | three year old. But not only that, she works as a flight paramedic. She works 24 hour shifts. |
| 1:04.5 | Her husband also works 24 hour shifts and they are not the same shifts. So as you can imagine, |
| 1:11.7 | she has her hands full. She has her hands full and she is talking to us about how she is making it |
| 1:20.0 | work to prioritize herself and her health despite a crazy schedule unlike what most of us live, |
| 1:28.4 | even crazier because of her work hours. And she also has a unique pressure with her weight. |
| 1:36.8 | In that, to be a flight paramedic, she has to weigh in for her job. And if she is over her allowed |
| 1:45.9 | weight more than twice, she loses her dream job. And so we talk a little bit about that, |
| 1:53.0 | where the conversation gets really powerful is when she tells me about some gallbladder |
| 1:59.2 | challenges that she is having and because she is not feeling well, she has been struggling to |
| 2:04.8 | not say, oh well, I don't feel well. So who cares? What is the point why bother? And we get into |
| 2:11.2 | an amazing conversation about how this is actually a growth opportunity staring her in the face. |
| 2:18.4 | It's not a burden. And that is true for you too. Whatever it is you're struggling with, |
| 2:23.6 | maybe it's not a burden. Maybe it is your chance to step up to the plate and grow. |
