Primal Potential is about you.

Your ability to change is not defined by yesterday and doesn't need to wait until tomorrow.

Your transformation is now.

Let's get started.

Hello everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast.

I am Elizabeth Benton.

Super excited about today's episode.

One of the things that comes up a lot in the 12 weeks to transformation in terms of questions

and struggles and need for improvement is relationships.

And I don't mean just romantic relationships.

In fact, while that comes up a lot, relationships with parents and siblings comes up a ton, relationships

with colleagues and coworkers comes up a ton.

And I wanted to dedicate this entire episode to one of the relationship topics that comes

up most frequently and that is how can I stop taking things so personally or how can

I stop caring so much about what other people think.

Guys, this can be paralyzing and I think the worst part of it is, well, it's a toss-up.

One really rough side effect of taking things so personally and really putting a lot of

stock in what other people think is that it can keep you in a very small box.

It can paralyze you and prevent you from doing the things you want to do.

And then as troubling, it can really damage relationships.

And it breaks my heart because I see this basically every day in my work with clients.
