Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast and our consistency 365

series. I'm Elizabeth Benton. Thanks so much for joining me. I wanted to share here because

I realized that I just sent this out via email. And if you're like me, not all emails get

read, but this was such a powerful story that somebody told me. One of my girlfriends

that I go to church with was telling me about this story she heard of decades ago when
