Are you stuck at “better”?

Maybe life is okay. Maybe it’s even good — especially compared to where you used to be. But what if you’re unknowingly camping out at 60% of your potential… and calling it enough?

In this episode, I unpack what happens when progress becomes a plateau, and fear of restriction keeps us from discovering what’s truly possible.

We’ll explore:

• Why comfort can quietly block you from greatness

• The real reason your next level feels “too hard”

• How our brains lie to us about sacrifice and deprivation

• A client story that reveals the hidden trap of “better”

• What to do if your “why” feels shallow or fake

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve come so far… but I’m scared to go further,” this one’s for you.

🔥 What You’ll Learn

• Why “better” isn’t the finish line — and how it becomes a subtle trap

• What to do if you're afraid of giving up your current comforts

• How to reframe restriction, routine, and what you think you're “missing out” on

• What it looks like to stop avoiding possibility

• Why you don’t need a big, dramatic “why” to change — and what to focus on instead

• How to win the next hour, not just the next month

🔍 Episode Description:

But first! Take the quiz to identify your primary barrier to consistency: primalpotential.com/quiz

Let’s talk about what you’re avoiding — the scale, the check-in, the budget, the truth. Not because you don’t know… but because you don’t want to face it.

In this episode, we dive into Blind Spot Culture — the subtle but powerful way we avoid clarity and call it "grace" or "self-care" while continuing to drift. Whether it’s telling yourself food is comfort, or skipping your check-in because “you already know it was a bad week,” this kind of avoidance is robbing you of the change you say you want.

We’ll unpack:

• What blind spots really are (hint: they’re not about ignorance)

• Why we avoid feedback, mirrors, and metrics

• How “comfort” habits like overeating are masking deeper needs

• What it’s actually costing you to avoid facing the truth

• Simple ways to break free from the patterns that are keeping you stuck

If you're ready to stop drifting and finally build momentum, this episode is a must-listen.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Avoidance isn’t protection — it’s a trap.

• The truth doesn’t get more painful when you face it — it gets more useful.

• Food, distractions, and "grace" are often just blind spots in disguise.

• The moment you look is the moment you take your power back.

This is your wake-up call.
Not because you’re lazy. Not because you’re broken.
But because you’re stuck in patterns that are keeping you from the life you say you want.

In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise with a direct, no-fluff pep talk for the days you’re tempted to quit, coast, or wait for “later.” Whether you’re in a funk, making excuses, or just need a reminder of what’s at stake — this is for you.

You’ll hear about:

• Why your comfort zone is costing you more than you think

• The brutal truth about giving yourself “a pass”

• The mindset that makes success inevitable

• How every excuse is a vote for the life you don’t want

• Why change won’t happen until you decide it’s non-negotiable

If you keep putting it off, you’re not just delaying the life you want — you’re building regret. You’re either going to do the work, or you’re going to wish you had.

🎧 Listen when you need:

• A kickstart after falling off track

• A mindset reset on a low-motivation day

• A reminder of why your future depends on today’s choices

Ever feel like you're arguing with yourself all day long — about getting up early, skipping the snack, following through — and somehow, the wrong voice keeps winning?

You're not broken. You're just unprepared.

In this episode, I’m bringing you inside the debate team that’s happening inside your head every day — and breaking down why your internal arguments are falling flat... and what to do about it.

If you showed up to debate class with the kinds of excuses and one-liners you use on yourself — you'd get crushed.
So why are you trying to win the battle for your goals that way?

We’ll talk about:

• The 4 major ways we drop the ball in our internal decision-making

• Why “I said I would” isn’t strong enough to beat a craving

• How to build a better case for the choices that move you forward

• Real-life examples (goldfish snacks, alarms, girls’ night wine — we’re going there)

• What conviction, energy, and preparation actually sound like

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of “I know better but I don’t do better,” this episode is going to feel like a mirror, a wake-up call, and a strategy session — all in one.

💥 Ready to Build a Stronger Case in Your Life?

This is the kind of work we do every single day inside The Consistency Course.

We don’t just talk about what you should do — we teach you how to follow through.
We work together on:

• Building the identity you want

• Creating real, sustainable momentum

• Ending the start-over cycle

• Learning to signal, not spiral

We have to stop giving ourselves a pass with vague, soft language.

“Emotional eating.”
“Self-sabotage.”
“Checked out.”
“Comfort food.”

These phrases sound like awareness — but most of the time, they’re actually avoidance. They’re smokescreens that help us label the pattern without actually examining it. But if we want to get out of the cycle, we’ve got to stop naming things in a way that lets us off the hook.

In today’s episode, we’re getting real. I’ll walk you through:

• Why vague labels keep us stuck

• How to replace them with specific, honest observations

• The role clarity plays in breaking patterns

• And how this one shift alone can change everything — without needing more willpower or motivation

If you’ve ever said, “I just keep sabotaging myself,” this one’s for you.

We’ve been sold a lie that progress has to be painful—and that if we enjoy the path, we’re probably doing it wrong. But what if the opposite is true?

In this episode, I’m introducing you to an idea I’m calling 75 Fun—not a challenge, not a reset, but a rhythm. A summer rhythm that actually feels good to live. One that includes strength, rest, play, and connection… without guilt or burnout.

We’ll talk about:

• Why most plans fall apart (hint: they’re miserable)

• The fear that “ease” means “failure”

• How I’m designing a life I don’t want to escape from this summer

• The difference between indulgence and intentional joy

• What my personal 75 Fun rhythm looks like (and how you can create your own)

This isn’t about perfection. It’s not about doing more. It’s about finally creating a life you love to live—one small decision at a time.

You don’t need more time — you need fewer false fires.

If you constantly feel like there’s just not enough time, this episode will change the way you see your life — and your to-do list — forever.

Inside the Consistency Course, I hear it every day: “Life got busy. I meant to do XYZ. But the day got away from me.” And the problem isn’t laziness or lack of motivation — it’s the fact that we’ve confused pressure for priority.

We’ve been taught to answer to what’s loud, urgent, and externally expected. But that kind of pressure has nothing to do with what actually matters to us.

In today’s episode, I’ll show you exactly how to stop working in your life — and start working on it. You’ll walk away with tools to clarify your true priorities, protect your time, and reset your habits so they actually reflect what matters most to you.

🔑 In this episode, we’ll unpack:

• Why pressure screams louder than priority — and how to stop answering it

• The real difference between “need to” and “want to” — and why that distinction matters

• Why working in your life is keeping you stuck (and how to start working on your life instead)

• The simple perspective shift that reveals what’s really urgent — and what’s just noise

• How to protect your most valuable time — even in a full, chaotic life

🧭 Ask yourself:

• What are my top three true priorities right now?

• Do my habits, calendar, and energy reflect those priorities — or not?

• What needs to change so that they do?

📌 Quote to remember:

“You don’t need more time. You need fewer pressures disguised as priorities."
“Most people are working in their lives. Very few are working on them.”

If you’re waiting to feel confident, prepared, or fully equipped before you go after your goal — this episode is your wake-up call.

In this raw and honest solo show, I’m sharing lessons from a recent experience hosting the very first gala for the Dagny Foundation — including what it taught me about discomfort, asking for help, scrappy problem-solving, and why we often stay stuck by thinking the same old thoughts.

I’ll walk you through the biggest mindset shifts that helped me get through something I didn’t feel ready for — and how those same shifts apply directly to your goals. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, overwhelmed, or afraid to start, this is the conversation you need to hear.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck
✅ How discomfort can actually be a green light for growth
✅ Why asking for help is your power move, not your weakness
✅ Real examples of resourcefulness in action
✅ How to stop thinking inside the same limiting mental box
✅ Why what you’re dreading is almost never as bad as it seems

Listener Challenge:

• Ask for help this week — even if it feels awkward.

• Do one uncomfortable thing you’ve been avoiding.

• Brainstorm 3 “stupid” ideas — and act on one of them.
