In this powerful episode, I’m sharing a message that started with a simple post: “The world needs more men with good intent who are physically, financially, and spiritually dangerous.”
But I want to take that message deeper — and broader — to what it means for us as women, as parents, as people who want to live at our fullest potential.
👉 This episode isn’t about causing harm. It’s about becoming so capable, so prepared, so anchored, that you’re dangerous to excuses, to inertia, to anything that keeps you small.
If the word dangerous doesn’t sit right, that’s okay. Call it formidable. Call it unstoppable. The mission matters more than the word.
✅ Why becoming financially formidable means building options — not obstacles
✅ What physical formidability really looks like (and why it has nothing to do with vanity)
✅ How spiritual formidability keeps you anchored through life’s storms
✅ How to start small and stay consistent — without dismissing your progress
✅ Why the world needs you maxed out, not playing small
👉 The truth is: the mission isn’t perfection. The mission is consistent action — in your finances, your fitness, your faith.
If you’re ready to build the habits that make you unstoppable, join me inside The Consistency Course. This is where we move from good intentions to real action, together.

n this episode, we’re diving deep into something that holds so many of us back: the fear of being judged.
Maybe you don’t avoid walking in your neighborhood, but maybe you’ve skipped going to the gym, avoided putting on a swimsuit, or stayed silent in a room because you were worried what someone might think.
👉 Here’s the truth: we all judge. We all get judged. And what matters is what we do with that reality.
Today I’m sharing:
A client’s honest and beautiful reflection on how fear of judgment kept her from walking outside — and how she’s working to break free of that.
How recognizing our own judgment can help soften the sting when we feel judged by others.
The critical difference between judgment (observation) and mistreatment (unkindness or discrimination).
Why becoming harder to offend is one of the most powerful choices you can make.
Tools and mindset shifts you can start practicing today so that fear of judgment doesn’t cost you your joy, your memories, or your goals.
💡 Key takeaway:
Recognizing our own judgment softens our offense at others’. The next time you feel judged, pause. Remember: you’ve judged too — and that’s part of being human. What matters is how you show up for your life anyway.
Join me in The Consistency Course! Let's work together to set you free from the patterns that are keeping your life small.

Description:
We are drowning in advice yet still starving for real, lasting change. And it’s not because we’re lazy. It’s not a willpower issue. Most of the time, it’s not even strategy.
It’s a relationship problem.
In this final episode of the Pivot Point series, Elizabeth gets personal about the real reason so many of us keep quitting, circling, and spinning our wheels even when we “know better.” We’ve over-indexed on information and under-indexed on support.
💡 You might have 100 people who’ll wish you a happy birthday… but not one person who knows you’re slipping back into old habits.
💡 You might post your goals and get tons of “You’ve got this!” comments… but nobody texting you on Wednesday night when you’re ready to quit.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unsupported, or unsure why you can’t keep going, this episode will speak to you. It’s time to stop doing it all alone and start building the kind of connection that fuels real change.
Why more info ≠ more progress (and what’s really missing)
What surface-level connection is costing you
The “butt power” lesson from Day 4 and why we abandon too soon
A real story about someone stuck in the loop of overlearning and under-implementing
How deep relationships, not hype or novelty, drive lasting change
Why most of us are only as strong as our best day and how to tap into collective strength instead
What to do if you’re an introvert, a solopreneur, or someone who’s “fine doing it alone”

Day 4: The Myth of Momentum & the Power of Staying
You don’t need more motivation.
You need more butt power.
Yes, butt power. As in: stay on your butt. Don’t escape when it gets hard. Don’t jump ship for something shinier just because this path lost its sparkle.
In today’s episode, Elizabeth shares the powerful story of an elementary school teacher who taught her students that the moment they feel stuck is the moment to stay. And how that principle — staying with the thing — might be the single most undervalued key to your consistency.
Here’s what we get into:
Why novelty isn’t a solution but more often avoidance
The difference between energy that comes from hype and energy that comes from habit
The illusion of a “new start” when what we really need is follow through
How to identify where you keep abandoning what would actually work if you just stayed with it
A powerful call to abide: to stay connected to your convictions when the feelings fade
💡 You’re not failing because you’re incapable. You’re just walking away too soon.
🎯 Don’t just listen — do. Grab today’s journal prompts here and walk through where you need to build staying power.
And if you’re tired of walking this road alone, the Consistency Course is your place for support, structure, and momentum that lasts.

ou can do everything right… and still not get the result you expected.
So what happens next?
Today’s episode isn’t about motivation. It’s about staying power.
It’s about how you respond when you’re frustrated, discouraged, or convinced it’s not working, because that response determines everything.
Inside this episode:
Why your most important progress comes after things stop going to plan
The difference between what feels justified in the moment and what actually serves your goals
A client story that perfectly shows how we can turn a stepping stone into a cop-out — or a pivot point
The simple but high-impact question that will change the way you respond to hard moments
💭 You don’t need more hype. You need to train your response.
Today is where that begins.

You can be right in the moment… and still be really wrong in the pattern.
Today’s episode is a call to honesty.
Not about whether a single choice “matters” but whether the pattern it belongs to is quietly killing your progress.
Because here’s the trap:
We justify what’s familiar.
We rationalize what’s comfortable.
We talk ourselves into “one more time” like it’s no big deal.
But over and over again, we’re protecting the very behavior that’s holding us back.
Inside this episode:
Why “familiar” is not the same thing as “neutral”
The hidden cost of being “right” in the moment
A powerful lens to recognize when a pattern needs to be broken — even if the choice seems harmless
The one question you must ask when justifying a pattern
🔥 This is the kind of honesty that moves the needle. Let’s go.

🎯 This is The Pivot Point.
A 5-day approach to interrupt what’s not working and shift into real momentum.
Each day, you’ll get:
A short, powerful podcast episode
A set of action-focused prompts (not fluff, not busywork)
A coaching email to keep you plugged in and showing up
This isn’t about starting over.
It’s about breaking the loops that keep derailing your progress, one pattern at a time.
You don't need something new; you need to stop what's stopping you (for good).
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful and uncomfortable truth: you can be incredibly productive and still be wildly ineffective. If you’ve ever felt like your days are full but your life feels stuck — this is for you.
I’m drawing inspiration from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis — a book where the devil teaches his apprentice how to keep someone distracted from living a meaningful, intentional life. One of the strategies? Keep them trapped in their to-do list. Make them believe that daily logistics are real life — and never let them question it.
We’re talking about:
The danger of mistaking motion for progress
How the “secondary” quietly replaces the “primary”
Why the tasks that feel urgent often aren't important
How to reframe your days around what truly matters
This isn’t about doing less — it’s about making room for what’s real.
In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story — one that almost cost me my business, sabotaged my health, and left me emotionally flat: my addiction to novelty. I chased the next new thing like it was the answer to everything — and for a while, it felt like momentum. But the truth? It was misdirection.
Whether it’s in weight loss, business, or life, we’ve been conditioned to confuse excitement with effectiveness. And when the emotional high of “new” wears off, we think we’re off track. We’re not.
This episode is your reminder that consistency will always beat novelty — when you let it.
Why chasing the “next new thing” feels like progress — but usually isn’t
How emotional flatness isn’t failure — it’s feedback
The difference between pushing and precision
How to identify the “novelty trap” in your own life
What sustainable progress actually looks and feels like
Why you might be mistaking emotional withdrawal for being “off track”
Questions to ask when you’re tempted to start over… again
“Novelty gives you a hit but mastery gives you freedom.”
“Progress isn’t about being emotionally high it’s about being directionally right.”
“You’re not addicted to results, you’re addicted to change.”
“You’re building a system, not chasing a feeling.”
“Consistency isn’t built by flair, it’s built by follow-through.”
The Consistency Course — If you’re ready to stop starting over and build something that lasts, this is for you.

We love to call it a comfort zone, but let’s be honest — if you were truly comfortable, you wouldn’t be emailing me, considering a change, or listening to this podcast. What we call the “comfort zone” is almost never comfortable. It’s just known. Predictable. Familiar. And that’s a trap.
In this episode, I’m walking you through a powerful coaching conversation I had with someone on the fence about making a change. She thought she was afraid to leave her comfort zone… but what she was really bumping up against was the exposure of wanting more.
We’re getting into:
Why what we label as comfort is often just familiarity
The real reason you might be afraid to change (and what you’re already missing out on)
How your current fear might just be a red triangle in the storybook Zoom — you’re too close to it to see what it really is
And most importantly, I’m sharing three practical ways to get out of the known zone and into forward momentum:
Make small changes — simple disruptions to your routines build pattern-breaking momentum
Create strategic disappointment — practice saying “no” in low-stakes moments so the harder ones don’t knock you down
Choose intentional vulnerability — share the thing you’d rather not share; say the thing you usually skip over
This isn’t about overhauling your life. It’s about doing one thing differently — and letting it open the door to change.
