Hello everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. I am Elizabeth

Benton. This is our consistency 365 series, a special year-long series we are

doing in between our regular Monday and Saturday full-length episodes. These

mini-sodes in the consistency 365 series are all about how to build

on my phone and we have three young kids and that's just probably not gonna happen.

However, the awareness helps me course correct. The awareness of that that, hey, I need
