CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

You're not avoiding the scale. You're not avoiding the bank statement. You're not avoiding the hard conversation or the overflowing inbox. You're avoiding how you think you'll feel when you see it. But here's the truth: You already feel that way. You already feel heavy. You already feel ashamed. You already feel anxious and behind and overwhelmed. Avoidance doesn't protect you — it prolongs your suffering. It doesn't delay the pain — it drains you slowly while convincing you that you're safe. In this episode, we're unpacking: Why avoidance feels like safety but functions like a trap What you're really running from (hint: it's not the number) Why facing it now is easier than carrying it another day And how to start moving forward — even if you're scared This is the wake-up call for anyone avoiding the thing they know they need to face. The number. The truth. The next step. If you're ready to stop circling the truth and start standing in it — this one's for you.

"Everybody wants to heal… until the medicine shows up in the form of discipline." – Hippocrates (400 B.C.) Why is it so hard to do the things we say we want to do? In today's episode, we're digging into one of the biggest struggles so many of us face: discipline. Not just why it's hard—but why it can feel almost impossible in today's world. We're not lazy. We're not broken. We're living in a world designed to hijack our brains through overstimulation and constant dopamine hits—from social media, processed food, streaming content, even the kind of books we read. In this episode, I'll walk you through: Why discipline feels harder than ever (hint: it's not your fault) How dopamine and your brain's salience network make high-stimulation things feel more important than your goals What makes your brain highlight some things (and ignore others) Why real connection, presence, and long-term goals feel boring when you're overstimulated How to retrain your brain so discipline feels easier, not harder This isn't about going off the grid or giving up your phone. It's about making discipline feel possible again—by making life just a little bit quieter. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Your brain highlights what gives you the most dopamine (this is called salience) Overstimulation rewires your motivation—it prioritizes scrolling over sleep, Netflix over goals The solution isn't "more willpower"—it's less noise You can rewire your salience network with small, doable changes: Less screen time More walks and movement (without your phone) More whole foods, less ultra-processed stuff Reducing high-dopamine distractions (yes, even the "harmless" ones) 🛠️ Challenge for Today: Ask yourself: What got my attention today? What felt most important? Did it reflect the life I'm trying to build? If not—good news. You can change what your brain highlights, one small shift at a time.

We all know what all looks like — strict rules, clean eating, heavy discipline. And we definitely know what nothing looks like — throwing in the towel and saying, "Whatever, I'll start over Monday." But what about the middle? Why does it feel so hard to define… let alone stay in? In today's episode, I'm unpacking a powerful conversation I had with a client who said something so many of us feel: "Navigating the middle feels lost — like no direction. It feels like too much freedom and an impossible place to navigate." Especially this time of year — when schedules are packed, events are frequent, and temptations are everywhere — the middle can feel impossible. We're talking about: Why "the middle" feels so elusive What to do when you don't hold the line How to adjust your goals without abandoning them Why re-engagement matters more than perfection And how to stay in the game — even when you miss the mark This is not about following a perfect plan. It's about building the resilience to keep going when life gets loud. 💥 Episodes on All or Nothing  Episode 1257 Episode 1250 Episode 1057 Episode 495 Episode 034 🎧 Listen If You're Struggling With: The all-or-nothing mindset Staying on track during the holidays Feeling like "you know what to do" but still not doing it Letting one indulgence spiral into a week of disengagement 💬 Let's Keep the Conversation Going: What does "the middle" look like for you right now?

A client recently said something that completely stopped me in my tracks: "My mindset determines the choices I'm going to make. Don't decide from a shitty mindset — otherwise, I've rigged the game against myself." Mic. Drop. It immediately made me reflect — how often do we do this? How often do we unconsciously (or consciously) make it harder to follow through, succeed, or feel good? In this episode, I'm sharing: What it actually means to rig the game against yourself How to recognize when you're doing it (with real client stories + examples) What it looks like to rig it in your favor instead The mindset shift from "positive" to helpful that changes everything A journaling prompt to help you create your own breakthrough today

If you've ever told yourself "I don't have time to take care of myself" because you're too busy taking care of everyone else — this one's for you. Whether it's your kids, your job, your partner, aging parents, or your community — a lot of us are constantly pouring out… while running on empty. In this episode, I'm sharing a concept from CrossFit — "core to extremity" — and how it changed the way I think about showing up for others. We're talking about where real strength comes from, what happens when we don't start at the center, and how taking care of yourself first is not selfish — it's strategic. If you feel stretched thin or burned out, this might be the reframe you didn't know you needed. 🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode: What CrossFit taught me about power and strength — and how it applies to your life The lie behind "I don't have time for myself" What happens when you serve from depletion vs. strength A new way to think about self-care (that's not bubble baths and yoga pants) What I learned during one of the hardest seasons of my life — and how I show up differently now

You're not broken. You're not lazy. But you might be stuck in a loop of trying the same things over and over — even when they've never worked.

We'll unpack: Why recycling effort isn't the same as solving the problem How you've been overemphasizing options and underemphasizing choice The trap of only considering what you've already tried The epidemic of passive consumption (and why it's costing you your ability to think) This is a wake-up call and a relief — because once you see the loop, you can step out of it. 💥 Ready to break the cycle and rebuild from a place of strength?

What if procrastination isn't the real problem? What if what you see — the delay, the excuses, the inconsistency — is just smoke… and the real fire is underneath? In today's episode, I'm walking you through a real conversation I had with a client in DEFENSE, where we uncovered the truth behind her procrastination — and it wasn't time management. It wasn't planning. It was belief. Identity. A narrow picture of what change had to look like… that she didn't even want to live. We talk about: Why solving surface problems doesn't lead to lasting change How "diet food" and "I don't like exercise" become unconscious blocks What to do when you tell yourself "I'm just not worthy" Why you don't need to be addicted to your comfort zone anymore 👉🏼 This is exactly the kind of work we do in DEFENSE.

I've been asked about this multiple times, so here we go. Today's episode is a little different. It's personal. It's about my faith. You don't have to agree with me, in fact, I think it might be most valuable to listen if you don't. Because this isn't about convincing anyone. It's about sharing how my faith impacts the way I experience fear, anxiety, the world around me, and how I lead my family. I'm not a theologian. I'm not here to debate doctrine. I'm just here to tell the truth about what's changed for me and how that plays out in real life. Whether you've been curious about my faith journey or you're just struggling to stay grounded in a chaotic world, I hope this meets you right where you are.

We’re quick to spot the truth in other people’s choices: “If he would just manage his time better…” “If she’d finish one thing before starting the next…” But when it comes to our own patterns? The truth feels harder to see — and even harder to admit. In this episode, I’m digging into the critical practice of telling yourself the truth — the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Because the stories we tell ourselves don’t have to be true to shape our lives. They just have to go unopposed. You’ll hear: Why it’s easier to analyze their problems than to face our own How “permissive phrases” like “I’ll start tomorrow” or “I need this to take the edge off” quietly run the show A client story that shows exactly how to challenge vague justifications and uncover the truth The difference between evaluation (judging yourself) and coaching (creating a way forward) A simple 3-step challenge to practice radical honesty and break free from excuses and procrastination If you’ve ever wondered why you keep starting over, why you feel stuck in cycles of “I’ll do better tomorrow,” or why it’s so much easier to see solutions for other people than for yourself — this episode will be a game-changer. ✨ Your breakthrough is on the other side of one question: “What’s the truth here?”

Pizza at the work meeting, a missed workout, one “I already blew it” moment — and suddenly the whole thing unravels. It’s not that your plan was bad. It’s that your plan had no defense.

This week, in two vastly different conversations, the same question came up: Why bother? Whether it’s the weight of repeated failure or the heartbreak of a world that feels broken, it’s easy to wonder what the point is. In today’s episode, I’m sharing two real-life moments — one rooted in personal frustration, and another in the aftermath of a community tragedy — that both led to this question… and the truth I believe we need to hold onto: Your health matters. Not for the number on the scale. Not for appearances. But because healthy people create healthy communities. We need physically, mentally, and spiritually well individuals now more than ever — in homes, schools, workplaces, and online spaces. If you’re feeling powerless to change what’s happening around you, this episode is for you. You have a part to play — and your health equips you to play it well. 🔥 In This Episode: Two different versions of “why bother?” — and how to respond Why your health isn’t just about you The ripple effect of well-being in families and communities How emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness changes the way we show up A real-life example of handling conflict with grounded grace Practical ways to improve your health that go beyond food and fitness 💡 Episode Quote: “You don’t have to go viral to be a leader.

Episode Summary: In this episode, I'm sharing the supplements I take in this season of life—and why I take them. I'll walk you through my non-negotiables, seasonal support, and individualized tools, plus offer thoughts on how to choose what's right for you instead of being swayed by supplement trends on social media.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why your success in health, finances, relationships — all of it — hinges on one critical skill: defense. It’s not just about what you do; it’s about what you protect.

If you’ve ever had one of those days where you were busy all day but not actually productive…this episode is for you. I’m sharing the morning rhythm that’s working for me right now — a flexible structure I call 30x4. It’s not about what time your day starts. It’s about what you start with. Instead of getting lost in emails, minutia, or life management, this rhythm helps me lock in the “big rocks” first. And because it’s flexible, it works whether my day starts at 4:30 AM, 7:00 AM, or even later. Here’s what I’ll walk you through: Why “busy” doesn’t always mean “productive” — and how to change that. The 30x4 framework: four 30-minute blocks that set up my day for success. How I layer activities like exercise + learning + sunlight to maximize time. Why I focus on order instead of a fixed start time. Examples of how this rhythm can look different depending on your season of life. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a simple but powerful structure you can adapt to your own goals — whether that’s health, faith, finances, family, or business. ✨ Remember: it’s not about the time you start, it’s about what you start with.

Episode focus: What GLP‑1 actually is (your body already makes it), when/where it's released, why food noise exists, and practical ways to nudge the same mechanisms without a prescription. Listen for: simple definitions, meal/lifestyle plays that boost satiety signals, and a week‑by‑week experiment plan. Quick Summary GLP‑1 (glucagon‑like peptide‑1) is a peptide hormone your gut releases after you eat. It helps meals feel calmer by slowing stomach emptying, supporting insulin only when glucose is high, and signaling the brain to turn down cravings. Release is biphasic (two waves): a quick early wave soon after food hits the upper small intestine, and a later, longer satiety wave 30–120+ minutes after—especially when meals include protein, some fat, and fermentable/viscous fiber. Food noise is multi‑factor: hyperpalatable foods, fast eating/liquid calories, sleep debt and stress, microbiome shifts, and environment/cues. Meds mute it fast; habits keep it quiet. What it is: a gut‑made peptide hormone that coordinates the after‑meal response. Where it's made: special gut cells called L‑cells (mostly in the ileum and colon). When it's released: Early wave: minutes after you start eating. Late wave: 30–120+ minutes later as nutrients and fiber fermentation products reach the lower gut. What it does: Slows the stomach so fuel trickles in (you feel fuller, longer). Supports insulin only when glucose is high (smaller spikes, gentler landings). Signals the brain via the vagus nerve to turn down "keep eating" urges. Why meds feel stronger: prescription GLP‑1s are engineered to last much longer than your natural hormone. Food/lifestyle can raise your own signals but won't extend them like a drug. Why Food Noise Gets Loud (and Stays Loud) Hyperpalatable foods (sweet+fat+salt+crunch) keep reward circuits fired up. Removing them for 7–14 days usually turns the volume down. Sleep debt & stress: more ghrelin (hunger), less leptin (satiety), and higher reactivity to cues. Meal speed & form: soft/ultra‑processed textures and liquid calories outrun gut signals. Microbiome: low‑fiber patterns → fewer short‑chain fatty acids → weaker late satiety wave. Environment: visual cues, routines, social context, alcohol, and easy access keep the cycle going. Food Levers (Evidence‑Aligned, Practical) 1) Protein‑forward meals (especially breakfast) Aim ≥30 g protein. Whey (if tolerated) is a strong pre‑meal option: 20–30 g, 15–30 min before a carb‑heavy meal. Why it works: raises satiety hormones (including GLP‑1 and PYY) and lowers "hunt for more" at the next meal. 2) Viscous & fermentable fibers Viscous (slows the meal): oats/barley (beta‑glucan), legumes, chia/flax, okra, eggplant. Fermentable (late‑wave satiety): beans/lentils; cooked‑then‑cooled potatoes/rice (resistant starch); green bananas/plantains; Jerusalem artichokes/asparagus (inulin). Supplements (optional, measured): Psyllium 5–10 g in 12–16 oz water 10–15 min pre‑meal (start with 2–3 g). PHGG (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) 5–10 g/day (gentle fermentable fiber). Glucomannan or inulin/FOS (build slowly; watch GI tolerance). 3) Some fat with meals Sources: eggs, salmon, olive oil, avocado, nuts/seeds. Why it works: helps release bile and triggers fullness signals; supports slower stomach emptying when paired with protein and fiber. 4) Bitter & spicy nudges (optional) Bitter greens (arugula, radicchio), citrus pith, dark cocoa. Capsaicin (chili peppers) or capsinoids (non‑pungent pepper extracts). Start small to check tolerance. 5) Meal order & pace Water/salad/broth first, then protein + veg, then starch. Minimum 15–20 minutes per meal; chew well. Optional: 1–2 tsp vinegar in plenty of water before higher‑starch meals (skip if reflux or enamel sensitivity). Lifestyle Levers (That Amplify Satiety Signals) Vigorous exercise windows: hard sessions can suppress appetite acutely for 1–3 hours; follow with protein + viscous fiber to extend satiety. Sleep 7–9 hours: normalizes hunger/satiety hormones and reduces cue‑reactivity. Early time‑restricted eating: a daytime 8–10 hour window often eases appetite even at similar calories. Environment design: strip hyperpalatables, reduce visible cues, pre‑portion foods, limit variety within a meal.

We've all said it: "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it." But here's the truth: willpower and intention aren't strategies. That's why you can have the best plan in the world and still feel stuck. In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 fresh approaches that will change the way you think about follow-through — including: Why discipline flows from identity (and how to rewrite yours in tiny, powerful ways). What beans in my garden taught me about building reachable steps instead of impossible leaps. How the Mary Poppins Effect can make consistency feel fun instead of like punishment. This isn't about trying harder. It's about trying smarter, with strategies that actually work for real life. 👉 And if you're ready to stop going in circles and finally get consistent, this is exactly what we work on inside The Consistency Course. With just 4 months left in the year, imagine what could be different if you stopped waiting and started today. Join us here: The Consistency Course.

Episode Summary: In this episode, I’m unpacking the new Netflix documentary Fit for TV about The Biggest Loser—and the uncomfortable parallels to today’s GLP-1 craze. On The Biggest Loser, contestants were willing to humiliate themselves, punish their bodies, and risk their health for rapid results. Fast forward 20 years, and we’re seeing the same mentality play out in a different form—this time with injections. Just like the show, GLP-1s promise dramatic, fast weight loss. But behind the glamor lies a dangerous truth: severe caloric restriction, significant muscle loss, and a metabolism that slows to a crawl. And when the meds stop—because of side effects, cost, or insurance changes—most people find themselves right back where they started, but worse off. This isn’t about hating the drugs. It’s about raising a flag. It’s about questioning our obsession with extremes and asking: why are we willing to do the most drastic things for a quick fix, but so resistant to the slow, sustainable path that actually works? The truth is, real change doesn’t come from the extremes. It comes from mastering the basics and building consistency—the thing no one wants to talk about because it feels too slow. But slow is the only way that lasts. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why Fit for TV is a cautionary tale for the GLP-1 craze The hidden costs of extreme approaches—whether it’s reality TV or injections How muscle loss and metabolic slowdown set you up for long-term struggle Why the slow, unglamorous work is the only thing that sticks How to shift out of the “one chance” mindset and into daily, consistent action Ready to Stop Chasing Extremes? If you’re tired of quick fixes that don’t last, The Consistency Course is for you. This program is designed to help you finally master the basics and build the steady, sustainable habits that actually work—for life. It’s not flashy, and it’s not about overnight transformations. It’s about consistency. It’s about proving to yourself that you can stay in the game. It’s about freedom from the cycle of starting over again and again. 👉 Click here to join The Consistency Course and start building the foundation that will last long after the trends and quick fixes fade.

How to create momentum in minutes with “first choice, second choice, third choice.” This isn’t about learning more information — it’s about using what you already know, breaking the pattern of self-sabotage, and getting back in the driver’s seat of your choices. You don’t need to overhaul your life to make progress. You just need to stop letting your excuses call the shots.

Your ego will demand a 10… when a consistent 3 would’ve changed your life. We glorify the grind. We chase the ideal. We obsess over the best way, the most extreme plan, the perfect strategy — and in doing so, we reject the one thing that actually works: consistency at a realistic level. This episode is a deep dive into the lie that’s been holding you back — the toxic fantasy that you have to “do it right” or not at all. It’s the all-or-nothing trap, dressed up in perfectionism and powered by ego. And it’s keeping you sick, stuck, and afraid. You think you need a total overhaul. You think you need discipline, intensity, a fresh start on Monday. You don’t. You need to make peace with a 3. You need to build a life you want to stay in. Because the perfect plan you can't stick with will never compete with the “good enough” one you do daily. In this episode: Why your standards might be the reason you're not making progress How perfectionism is just a prettier form of procrastination The hidden ego in “not enough” thinking What actually builds momentum (and why you're probably skipping it) This is a call-out — and an invitation. You don’t need a 10. You need to stop waiting for one. 👉🏼 If this resonates… But you want help implementing a plan you want to stay on, consider working with me in The Consistency Course!

You’ve got a plan. You’ve got your motivation. You even start strong. And then… life happens. Work runs late. Stress spikes. Travel throws you off. A single “bad day” turns into a lost week. Sound familiar? Here’s the truth: most people have an offense for their goals — the plan, the schedule, the structure — but no defense for when things go sideways. And that’s why you keep tripping over the same obstacles again and again. In this episode, I’m going to show you: Why your goals collapse when the unexpected happens (and why “try harder” isn’t the answer) How you already use defense strategies in everyday life without realizing it The “luminol moments” that reveal your weak spots — and how to fortify them Real-life examples of personal defenses that keep you on track no matter what Your plan can’t just work when everything goes perfectly. It needs to work when life punches you in the mouth. And that’s what building your defense will do. 🎯 The next 8-week DEFENSE cohort kicks off in November & registration will open in October.  Hundreds applied for the first round and it filled in record time.

We’re unpacking: Why your past does not get to define your future How the “just eat less” mindset is sabotaging real progress Why chasing “normal” eating might be the wrong goal What to do when your tools (like Ozempic) feel like they’re slipping away If you're feeling stuck or scared — or if you’ve tried everything and still feel lost — you’re not alone.

🔥 Complete your application for the new 8 Week Defense Strategy Co-Creating Program 🔥 What if the reason you haven’t reached your goal… has nothing to do with the plan? What if you’re stuck because your goal — like a boat — has a hole in it? Or no rudder? Or no defense when the storms hit? In this powerful episode, I’m breaking down 3 major reasons people stall out, give up, or spin in circles despite trying really hard: 💥 The 3 Hidden Goal Killers: No Rudder – You’re jumping from one thing to the next, chasing what’s new, what’s urgent, or what feels exciting — but you’re not steering toward anything. Holes in the Boat – You’ve got a plan, but it leaks. You keep sinking because of old stories, patterns like “I’ll start tomorrow,” and mindset gaps you haven’t addressed. No Defense – You’re great when life is good, but you have no strategy when stress, chaos, or curveballs hit. So the plan fails. Again. I’m sharing real client stories — and personal ones too — about how these show up every single day. And more importantly: how we can stop the cycle and finally make progress that lasts. 🛑 If your goal should take 6 months but it’s been 6 years, something has to change. This is the change. 🎯 Applications for the 8-Week DEFENSE Experience Are Now Open → Only 20 spots available → Applications are open now for the waitlist and open to the public on Thursday → If your application is accepted, you’ll be invited to book a private call with me to explore fit → [LINK TO APPLY] This is not another offense-only plan. This is where we fix what’s keeping you stuck. This is where real change begins.

What if one of the qualities you’ve always taken pride in—your independence—is actually keeping you stuck, isolated, and fragile? In this episode, I’m sharing how the book The Family Economy by Rory Groves completely reframed my understanding of strength, success, relationships, and even coaching. I open up about the way I was raised to value self-reliance, how I wore it as a badge of honor for years, and why I now see it as a form of quiet fragility. You’ll hear why dependence—when built intentionally—is not weakness, but a deeper kind of strength. One that stabilizes marriages, empowers families, accelerates progress, and deepens friendships. This episode is for anyone who’s ever said, “I should be able to figure this out on my own,” and who’s ready to consider a more powerful—and connected—way forward. In this episode: How I was raised to see independence as strength Why The Family Economy changed my view of success How true strength is rooted in interdependence What this means for families, friendships, and coaching Why asking for help strengthens relationships How coaching works best when we lean in, not isolate Links & Resources: The Family Economy by Rory Groves  Apply to work closely with me in our 8-week DEFENSE program!  👉 If this episode challenged your thinking, share it with a friend or tag me with your biggest takeaway.

This concept comes up all the time in my weekly check-ins with members of The Consistency Course: 👉 We often focus only on taste, and ignore how food makes us feel.

In this episode, we’ll explore: Real-life examples of indulgence without regret How to recognize that tipping point in the moment Why it’s not just about how much — but how often The difference between enjoyment and sabotage One question that can help you pause before you go too far This isn’t about restriction. It’s about reclaiming how you want to feel — and learning how to stop before pleasure turns to punishment. 🎯 This is a must-listen if you’ve ever said: “I always regret it afterward.” 💥 JOIN THE WAITLIST for DEFENSE My brand-new 8-week program is coming soon!

It's Primal Potential's 11 year anniversary!  Eleven years. One mission. Thousands of transformations. And a dozen lessons that changed everything. In today’s special anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on 11 years of Primal Potential by sharing 12 of the most powerful, real-life lessons I’ve learned in business, coaching, personal growth, parenting, and beyond. (Yes, 12 lessons in 11 years because let’s be honest, I’ve learned more in some years than others 😂) But FIRST: something big is coming. I usually make a special offer on Primal's anniversary, but not this year... Because what’s coming is different. Really different. ✅ It’s never been done. ✅ It’s for the people who struggle to follow through. ✅ It’s built for the chaos — not the perfect conditions. ✅ It’s not a new version of something old — it’s a new category. ✅ It’s limited to just 20 people.
