| 02 Mar 2017 | 303: Effort Versus Outcome | 00:31:16 | |
We all want consistent results. Of course we do! Unfortunately, we often invest more energy in hoping for outcomes than in maximizing our effort & consistency. In today's episode, I'm sharing a conversation with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients where we talk about effort versus outcomes. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she wanted more consistent results. I quickly redirected her to a focus on consistency in her effort and the application of what she knows. While she agreed with me, she also shared that she forgets. Day to day, she forgets to redirect her focus from outcomes to effort. Fair point! We took the conversation to how she can keep effort & consistency in the forefront of her mind. We also have a great conversation about getting bored with food, feeling guilty when you indulge and living a to-do list instead of living a life. This is a powerful, jam-packed, practical episode!

| 10 Feb 2015 | Ep 014: Hormones & Fat Loss Part 4 - Estrogen Overload | 00:29:26 | |
This episode is all about estrogen. Estrogen dominance accelerates weight gain and makes weight loss an uphill battle. We unknowingly feed our estrogen dominance with our diet and lifestyle choices. In this episode we talk about how estrogen becomes a weight loss nightmare for both men and women and we establish concrete steps for reducing your overall estrogen levels, eliminating estrogen dominance, and improving your overall health and weight loss potential naturally. | |||
| 04 Jul 2017 | 356: Complacency & Rationalization | 00:20:49 | |
Do you feel like you're a bit complacent? You want more results but you're just not pushing yourself to get those results? On today's episode I'm talking with one of my clients who has lost 70 lbs and wants to lose more. When I asked about his current challenges & struggles he said, "I've become complacent." He finds himself rationalizing choices because one treat or indulgence won't really make a big difference in the long run. Part of this is human nature. Our motivation, if not constantly cultivated, ebbs & flows. Plus, with 70 lbs of weight lost, it's easy to focus on how much you've accomplished and use that to justify throttling back on the effort. And, we can rationalize & justify pretty much everything. The problem is: that's not what this client wants. He doesn't want to throttle back. He doesn't want to rationalize & justify. He wants to overcome the complacency. Today, we talk about how. http://primalpotential.com/356-complacency-rationalization/ Resources:Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Info How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!) | |||

| 20 Dec 2018 | 546: Don't Get It Twisted | 00:42:26 | |
Not long ago, someone asked me if I'd provide transcripts for the 12 WT weekly challenge webinars. Then, I got a similar question about the format of the 12 Weeks to Transformation. My answer to both requests was the same... "Is the information in the 12 Weeks to Transformation all videos? If so, is there any way to have a transcript of the content? I don't retain information very well when it is presented verbally. I do much better with the written word." Here's the deal, my friend. We aren't here to learn. We're here to change. There's a really big difference in those two approaches and many people follow the familiar "learning" path, failing to realize that it's not the same as the "changing" path. We're diving into that in today's episode of the podcast and I'll be sharing how I coach clients through the changing process (not the learning process) in my 12 Weeks to Transformation groups. https://primalpotential.com/546/ Resources:Register for the Winter 2019 12 Weeks to Transformation | |||
| 14 Jan 2019 | 553: Chaos Without Crisis | 00:44:16 | |
I used to use stress, pressure, chaos and crisis as reasons to not take care of myself. As soon as life got hard, I'd stop trying. I'd stop making good food choices, I'd stop going to the gym, I'd stop being financially responsible. I'd check out. I'll be the first to admit that it's not always easy to do the right things when it feels like you're in crisis mode, but there are a few things I knew for sure:
Last week was straight CHAOS for me. I closed on a new property and there were innumerable hoops to jump through at the last minute. I moved into it. I moved out of my tiny house the same day. My boyfriend moved in with me. A new tenant moved into the tiny house. My 98-year-old grandmother was in the hospital and required surgery. My first book launched. The 12 WT launched. Plus, I had my normal workload, which is quite heavy to begin with. I was determined to not only get through the week, but to enjoy it and to take impeccable care of myself through it all. In today's podcast, I'm sharing my own strategies for navigating chaos without crisis and without putting self-care on the back burner. https://primalpotential.com/553/ Resources:Buy Chasing Cupcakes!

| 22 Nov 2016 | 260: Anti-Diet Holiday Success Strategies | 00:28:30 | |
Is it weird for me to say that I love this episode? Because I REALLY love this episode. I used to DREAD holidays, vacations, dinners out, birthdays and pretty much any celebration because I had no idea how to enjoy myself and enjoy the food without going way far overboard. That was exhausting and a lot harder than it needed to be. In today's episode I'm sharing anti-diet holiday success strategies so you can enjoy your holiday, enjoy your food and feel great afterwards. You don't need to ditch your goals to enjoy the holidays and you also don't need to deprive yourself of the special things that are really worth indulging in. http://primalpotential.com/260-anti-diet-holiday-success-strategies/ Anti-Diet Holiday Success StrategiesIn today's episode, I ask you to consider a couple of questions:

| 13 May 2023 | 1088: My Advice to Coaches + Living More Fully | 00:25:34 | |
This past weekend we celebrated Roman's 2nd birthday and it was such a great time of reflection for me, especially around living more fully.

| 14 Jun 2016 | 191: How To Get Unstuck | 00:23:16 | |
I got an email the other day that I want to share with you guys. I think this email could have been written by any one of us and it represents one of the most significant issues keeping us from reaching our goals: the on-again-off-again cycle. The beautiful woman who emailed me wants to change. She wants to be healthy. She wants to be a better example for her kids. She wants to feel better about herself. She doesn't kinda want it. She really wants it. But... She consistently makes food choices that aren't doing her any favors. She overeats. She overindulges. She doubts her ability to change. She doubts that health is really achievable for her. She wants so badly to learn how to get unstuck! Man, I completely understand these struggles and frustrations.....been there... and it's a hard place to be! In today's podcast, we will explore a new mindset and some simple strategies that will help you break this ebb and flow cycle. Are you ready to find out how to get unstuck and put your doubts and frustrations behind you? http://primalpotential.com/191-how-to-get-unstuck/ How To Get Unstuck I'll share with you parts of her email: I found your podcast about a month ago on Spotify. I was randomly scrolling though looking for something to listen to and I found primal potential. I cant remember exactly what episode it was but I remember you were talking about not arguing for our limitations. I was hooked. I have always been a heavy girl. I really ballooned up when I had my children. right now I am sitting at 270 I am 5’3″. I have always tried to lose weight I will start off strong and then I will mess up and I’m like f*@k it. I will be all gung ho to get it together and then have a bad day or week and reach for the convenience of ordering something or picking up something quick. I have to break that habit for our heath and our finances. Anyway all of this rambling is basically to ask where you think I should start. I’m tired of being fat. I’m tired of hating my body. I’m just so over it and I’m so lost on what to do. I’m convinced that I will never be healthy because I haven’t my whole life. I’m stuck in that toxic place that is telling me it doesn’t matter how much I try I will never be able to do it and I’m over it. I want to get out of there. I want to believe in myself. I want to change my quality of life so I can enjoy it with my children! She says she starts out all gung-ho but then falls back into old habits. Don't get me wrong- it's great to have motivation and enthusiasm but, you can be setting yourself up for failure with the pedal to the medal 0-60 approach. You know what I mean, starting out, right out of the gate and deciding, "I'm going to eat more vegetables, drink more water, eat less sugar, workout more, sleep more, stress less, find healthy recipes, stop eating out" -- get my point? You are likely trying to do too much, too fast and setting yourself up to feel overwhelmed and like you haven't cleared the high bar you set. Here are the recommendations I made to this listener to help her figure out how to get unstuck. Step 1: Don't change anything at all. For 7-14 days, just track. Write down what you eat and how it makes you feel. You need to establish your baseline. What you're doing, how it impacts your energy, where you're starting from. No pressure, just paying attention. Step 2: Simplify. Make ONE change. Don't add more until your initial change feels effortless. In my Fat Loss Fast Track groups, we typically start with breakfast. To learn more about how to make breakfast a fat burning meal, listen to this podcast or this one. Step 3: Change your mind. Stop arguing for your limitations and disqualifying yourself from change or growth. Remember, the past doesn't define the present or the future unless you choose to make the same choices. Each new day brings the opportunity to make a different choice. You don't want to miss this full episode to hear about what you can do RIGHT NOW to stop the cycle and start feeling AMAZING!

| 03 Sep 2016 | 226: Slow Down To Go Faster | 00:30:34 | |
Sometimes, we actually hold ourselves back in our attempt to make rapid progress. More often than not, we have to slow down to go faster. In today's podcast, I'm talking about how doing less, focusing on fewer things and slowing down your thoughts can actually accelerate your progress towards your goals. http://primalpotential.com/226-slow-down-to-go-faster/ Slow Down To Go FasterIn today's episode, we're covering how to take a step back, simplify, and create a baseline to avoid frustration, and achieve your goals. You want results NOW. Trust me, I've been there. You hit the ground running and you are doing EVERYTHING you can think of to get to your end goal. But are you doing too much, too soon? Are you considering the sustainability of your actions? Do your intentions match your actions? And are your actions consistent? Does our motivation exceed our training? Often times, we create false fantasy plans in our head that do not reflect the reality of our actions. We set a baseline so high that it may not be doable at our current training and commitment level. The fantasy plans and inability to stick to these crazy expectations lead very quickly to frustration, which can easily turn into quitting altogether. Breaking the cycle Breaking free is about doing less. I really believe that you can achieve MORE when you do LESS. The key is separating the fantasy plans from reality.You must build a base that you can obtain, and grow from there. Your base will help you break free from food obsession and yo-yo dieting. Revisit the 80/20 Rule The 80/20 Rule is simply 80% of your results stem from just 20% of the things you do, the actions you take. Focus your energy on the 20% of actions that are truly effective and ditch the 80% that doesn't. Turn off the thought faucet It is so hard to slow down when our minds are moving at 100 miles per hour. When you catch yourself bouncing all over the place in your thoughts, slow down and focus on RIGHT NOW. Don't create big plans that you can't execute that then create feelings of failure. Instead, pick one thing to focus on each week. After the week has ended evaluate your progress on that one thing. Take those evaluations and go from there making one change for the next week. These changes will become habits that you can sustain and create a healthy lifestyle that reaches your end goals. ResourcesEpisode 221: Turn Off the Thought Faucet Join me at ASCEND in Nashville!

| 21 Nov 2017 | 417: Health Hack for Metabolism, Wrinkles & Energy | 00:45:09 | |
Most of us aren't taking advantage of a huge tool at our disposal: light. Light has the ability to increase our metabolism, speed our healing, reduce inflammation, increase energy and much more. Yet, we take it for granted. We think using light is quackery. It's not. Try to grow a plant in the dark. Overexpose a plant to light. See what happens. Light is a super-nutrient, as important to human health as it is to plant health, if not more. Light can dramatically improve our hormones, energy, metabolism, healing, immune system & more. Alternatively, if not optimized, light can make us tired, unfocused, depressed and sick. Today we are learning how light influences us, the different types of light and the differing impact and what simple and complex solutions we can begin to implement. http://primalpotential.com/417/ Resources:Help me reach my goal of 1,000 5-star reviews!

| 29 Nov 2018 | 540: Younger - How to Age Brilliantly | 00:40:51 | |
Fact: We all get older. Myth: Getting older means increased body fat, decreased energy, memory issues, joint pain and chronic illness. You can age well. You can get or stay lean. You can maintain energy and cognitive function.
Myth: Genes determine how you age. We can control the expression of our genes. We can turn gene expression on or off, up or down, by the way we eat, sleep, move and stress.

| 12 Apr 2018 | 473: Performance On Demand | 00:21:37 | |
Do you ever read something that makes you immediately level up your actions or effort? I sure do and I love it when that happens! I'm no longer intrigued by things that sound nice. I'm only intrigued by things I can act on immediately. I'm intrigued by things that help me improve what I do & how I act. My mind is full of ideas. I think we need to know less but do more. Today's episode is about something that moved me to action and immediately increased my effort. It's an Instagram post from CrossFit athlete Dan Bailey. After injury and surgery, here's what he had to say: "Currently a little over 3 weeks out from surgery after rupturing my quad tendon. Still pretty swollen but it’s getting better every week. Progress isn’t measured in lbs and kilos but centimeters of knee flexion and reduction in swelling (that and setting a goal to bench 4 wheels). Everyday starts with a POD attitude (performance on demand @tosh.crookedbutterfly) meaning, this is the best your going to feel today, even though your knee looks like a softball, that doesn’t really matter, performance is still demanded, so what can you do mentally, physically and spiritually to increase your work capacity? I’d be lying if I said this is what happens everyday but it’s what I shoot for." What can you do mentally, physically & spiritually to increase your work capacity? This challenged me and made my day better. Today's episode will do the same for you. Take a listen! https://primalpotential.com/473/ Resources | |||

| 13 May 2019 | 601: The Struggles I'm Still Overcoming | 00:42:43 | |
What does "no mud no lotus" mean to you? To me, it's a reminder that all the dark times & moments in my life can take me to a new, brighter, higher level - if I choose to let them. My life hasn't been easy. In fact, I've been deeply unhappy and hopeless for most of it. It stings a little share that. Because I'm so open about my struggles with depression and obesity, I get a lot of questions about how I came out of the struggles. There are also a lot of people who assume that the struggles are behind me and it must be "easy" now. In the spirit of this "no mud no lotus" theme, today I want to share with you some parts of my past struggles that I'm still practicing overcoming. We're talking about fear of judgement from others as well as judging others. We're talking about drama and the perspective of abundance versus the perspective of lack.

Whether you think you're a drama queen or you're sure you're not, you MUST listen to today's podcast! Drama is draining and every single one of us has room for improvment in our creation of and response to drama. Drama takes the form of assumptions, gossip, worry, rumination over the past and so much more. In case you're still convinced that you're not a drama queen, let's take a minute to get on the same page. Cy Wakeman defines drama as emotional waste and describes drama as mentally wasteful thought processes and unproductive behaviors that keep you from your potential. Drama includes:

| 15 Aug 2017 | 375: Moving From Intention To Execution | 00:15:00 | |
The way we think about & approach fat loss is a problem. When we focus too much on the overall strategy and not enough on the daily strategy, a few things happens: We can undervalue the importance of today because there is no immediacy to the macro view This is the fundamental difference between intention & action.

| 17 Sep 2015 | Ep 085: How To Stop Making Excuses | 00:29:59 | |
It used to be so easy for me to say to myself, "Alright! I'm really doing it this time! No more excuses! This is it for real! I'm ready!!" But it never happened like that. It just didn't. I became a master of talking myself into whatever choice felt good at the time. I'd say, "It's just this one thing, it can't possibly hurt" or, "I'll be extra strict tomorrow" or "I'll workout later and be sure to burn it off". I knew exactly what debates and arguments worked best. Those types of internal debates are what I refer to as "anchors". They hold you back. They pull you down. They drag you off course. Identifying these anchors and understanding how you justify exceptions is absolutely critical in learning how to stop making excuses. Because really, these excuses, these internal debates are the exact reason you haven't got the results you want. It's the "why" behind your inconsistency. In today's episode we're getting super practical (and personal) about how to stop making excuses by identifying how you justify and excuse choices that won't help you reach your goals.

| 03 Aug 2017 | 369: Chasing Excellence | 00:25:17 | |
Ben Bergeron released his first book a couple weeks ago: Chasing Excellence. I ordered it the day it was released, read it the following day and re-read it over the weekend. I then bought 21 more copies and will probably buy more. I strongly recommend you get a copy and read it with your journal nearby. In his book, he talks about the mindset required to be excellent. He trains some of the best athletes in the world and his primary focus is how they think. He focuses first on the person: their character, mindset and mental toughness. Only with that solid foundation can he maximize their abilities. In today's episode, we're talking about some of my favorite parts of the book and his principles can be applied to help you reach your goals. http://primalpotential.com/369-chasing-excellence/ Resources:Chasing Excellence by Ben Bergeron How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!) | |||

To kick off the New Year, I am doing a series called Fat Loss Basics! In the first episode, we talked about calories & hormones and the requirements for fat loss. In the second, we covered everything you need to know about carbs & fat loss.

In this episode, we're diving into dietary fat & how eating more fat might help accelerate fat burning! To get caught up, check out part 1, part 2 and part 3. In today's episode we're taking a look at how & why dietary fat supports fat loss:

I know just about everyone & their mother is talking about how to set goals. Except me. I actually think we've made goals way too important. The magic isn't in the goal. The magic is in the work you do each day. We all need to focus more on the work we can do TODAY to help us get what we want instead of perfecting the art of goal setting. I'm not suggesting that goals aren't helpful - they might be for some people. No matter what though, the magic is in the work. In the process. In what you do, not in what you want to achieve. Today I want to help you get what you want in any month, week, day or year, and I want to put the focus where the focus needs to be - knowing what you want and staying focused on the work that will help you get it! http://primalpotential.com/277-get-what-you-want/ How to Get What You Want in 2017

| 11 Jun 2015 | Ep 056: Is Comparison Slowing Your Progress? | 00:26:54 | |
In this episode we talk about how comparing ourselves to others can really impede progress. It can lead to paralysis and inaction or it can stroke our ego and prevent us from really striving for our full potential. We fall into this comparison trap when we compare our eating habits, our consistency, our bodies and our workouts to other people and really, nothing good can come from it!

| 01 Dec 2016 | 264: EB's Top 4 Personal Success Strategies | 00:28:30 | |
Today I'm going to share my own personal success strategies. These are the specific strategies that brought me out of a really dark place. I weighed over 350 lbs, I was completely miserable and felt like food had WAY more control over my life than I did. Interestingly, these strategies have nothing to do with food. I'm not talking about strategies like a fat loss breakfast or having my carbs at night. These strategies do, however, drive my food choices. While they aren't directly related to food, they shape how I think about food and how I make decisions when I'm tired, emotional, hungry or tempted. But wait! There's more! If you're listening to this before December 13th 2016, I'm hosting a totally free 2-part webinar series to help you lose weight for the last time - create consistency and put an end to the exhausting "all or nothing" thinking cycle.

| 16 Aug 2016 | 218: Motivational Minisode | 00:10:25 | |
We've got a special minisode today! If you can get past the audio quality (I recorded outside on my iPhone), this message will help you make the most of each day! Every once in a while I record voice notes for my Fat Loss Fast Track clients (I recorded one for them while playing racquetball the other day) and I'm sharing one of them with you today! As I worked out, I thought about the power in the phrase "every choice is a chance". Is the day you're having today moving you towards the life you want? What can you do today to move in that direction? Don't write off the day if it didn't start well - every single choice is a chance to move in the direction of your goals. I know many of us struggle with frustration - being frustrated with ourselves when we don't do the things we feel we should. Capitalizing on "every choice is a chance" can help you break through that frustration, that inertia, and more in the direction of your goals! Every choice is a chance!

| 16 Jan 2016 | Ep 126: Fat Loss Basics Part 6 | 00:40:30 | |
To kick off the New Year, I am doing a series called Fat Loss Basics! In the first episode, we talked about calories & hormones and the requirements for fat loss. In the second, we covered everything you need to know about carbs & fat loss. Then we tackled protein & highlighted the ways that protein intake increases satiety & supports fat burning but also established how too much protein inhibits fat loss. In part 4 we looked at dietary fat & how eating more fat might help accelerate fat burning! In part 5, I talked about what makes fitness efficient & effective for fat loss (and what doesn't). To get caught up, check out part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and part 5. In today's episode I'm answering your questions on all 5 parts of this fat loss basics series.

| 11 Aug 2016 | 216: A Powerful Strategy To Conquer Inconsistency | 00:23:53 | |
Sometimes we think we can out-smart ourselves. We think that with enough willpower, grit & determination, we can out-smart ourselves. I don't think that's too effective. I want to help you work WITH yourself, not against yourself. In today's episode, I want to help you conquer inconsistency and self-sabotage but helping you understand why we so often give in and what we can do to be more strategic in our approach. Today is all about how your subconscious works. In short, it will always look to avoid pain and seek pleasure. This is simply part of how we are wired for survival. This can work powerfully in our favor or staunchly against us, depending on what we do and how we think. Unfortunately, most people have, through years of failed diets and giving up on themselves, associated far more pain with the achievement of their goals than pleasure. Today, we're changing that. Making some straight-forward adjustments to how you think about your goal can accelerate your progress and improve your life! http://primalpotential.com/216-conquer-inconsistency/ Conquer InconsistencyOne of the first strategies I talk about in today's episode is identifying your existing pleasure & pain associations. First, establish your goal. Then, free associate all the painful or negative words, thoughts & feelings associated with the achievement of that goal. Then, free associate all of the positive words, thoughts & feelings associated with the achievement of that goal. Then identify the opposite of your goal and go through the same process - create a list of all the positive and negative associations you have with whatever is opposite your goal. Intentionally build the list of pleasurable associations related to the achievement & pursuit of your goal.
Don't be a part of the problem, be a part of the solution. Focus as much of your energy as possible on what you can do to make the achievement of your goal positive, exciting and fulfilling. Stop putting energy towards why it's hard, frustrating or negative. ResourcesJoin me at ASCEND in Nashville! | |||
