What's the solution for those who don't change? For those who won't change? Have you ever felt like you just can't get yourself to do the work? I've been giving a lot of thought to the best way to help clients who, despite really wanting to, don't change. Today's episode is all about that strategy. Tune in! It might surprise you! https://primalpotential.com/630/ Want to Learn More about Gut Health? Here's a presentation Brooke Thomas and I gave on gut health and it's impact on mood states.

To learn more about specific recommendations I'd make to someone who was struggling to create change because of an apathetic mood state, email me directly and we'll talk more about it.

Forward momentum and infinite possiblity. Two phrases and inspire that hell out of me. In today's episode I want to share with you some of the biggest lessons I've learned over 5 years building Primal Potential and 5 years improving myself. As I was outlining my thoughts for today's episode and reflecting back on the hard moments and the times that everything felt hopeless and stuck, I took a break to watch The Biggest Little Farm on my Delta flight from Boston to LA. Immediately, I saw the connection. At one point, one of the main characters says, The beautiful complexity of our land is alive with infinite possibility. Oh man. Yes. The complexity of my life is alive with infinite possibility and it's true for you, too. We have to CHOOSE forward momentum. We have to choose infinite possibility. Sure, there are other options. We can stay in the problem. We can stay in our frustrations. We can focus on things we can't change. But the fact remains that your life DOES have infinite possibility. Are you charging f

If you want to double your progress, triple your growth. Your health, your choices, your relationships and your life are only as good as you are. I made a poster for my office that says, "If you want to double your business, triple your growth. Your business is only as good are you." The other day, someone emailed me to say that they don't know what I mean by this. How does one grow? How do you triple your growth? How can you double your progress with anything related to personal growth? Today I'm diving into this idea, what it means to me, how I practice it in different areas of my life and how you can, too! https://primalpotential.com/627/ Resources: Get on the wait list for ASCEND!

Are you focused ENOUGH? Are you focused on the things that will make a difference? Most of you know I have a 5 month old labrador puppy named Rumi. He is a HANDFUL. On a recent drive to visit family, I was listening to dog psychologist Cesar Milan and was fascinated when he shared that dogs in 3rd world countries don't have the behavioral problems we see in more affluent countries. Why?  Because they are hungry.  And that got me thinking about focus and boredom. If you aren't focused on something - if you live your life kinda bored, going through the motions, THAT'S when we see maladaptive behaviors like overspending and overeating. Drama. In today's episode, we're going there. We're talking about it. We're talking about getting out of the rut and becoming HUNGRY for something more in your life! It's time to get focused and creating meaningful change in your life! Stop waiting! (Are you here looking for the info to join me Monday July 8th at 6pm ET to talk about options, opportunities and the gut/brain axis

I've pointed out to a few clients this week that they are asking the wrong questions. They are solving for the right thing. Most recently, a client said, "I can't figure out why I'm so inconsistent". Wrong question. You're solving for the wrong thing. When you ask why you're so inconsistent, you're looking for evidence to support the problem. What you should be asking is, "How can I be more consistent today?" In today's listener Q&A episode, we're diving into your questions and a few times, we're exploring how the question can be shifted to be way more empowering and effective. Questions Tackled In Today's Episode: Is there an update on EB's experimentation with CBD? How is that going? Has she noticed any changes? What does EB indulge in that IS worth it?? I don’t drink coffee, but can I do bulletproof hot tea? What are good ways to keep a mindset focused on consistent effort over time? How do I change a lifetimes worth of habits? How do I get control of my mindless eating so I can lose weight for good? H

You don't have to struggle. We can ALL create personal freedom and independence from struggles, setbacks and limitations. In fact, we must! In today's episode, we're talking stepping beyond the things you think are in your way. We're talking about opening your mind to explore new options and going beyond your comfort zone into possibility. If you feel limited by your health, your body, your finances, career or anything else, there are options. There are things you haven't considered. It's time to set yourself free! If today's episode speaks to you and you'd like to learn more about the microbiome, gut health and a side-hustle that can serve others and set you free, I'd love for you to join me and Brooke Thomas on Monday July 8th at 6pm ET.

It's not your plan that's the problem, it's your perspective. You don't need a new plan, you need a new perspective. Last Thursday, I opened up our Summer 12 Weeks to Transformation to the wait list and we had an awesome live webinar about getting out of your own way. Prior to the webinar, I sent out a survey to everyone on the list and asked them two questions: What is keeping you from reaching your goals? What could I do to help you? In the webinar, we talked about the most common barriers. We talked about money. We talked about fear. We talked about inconsistency.

Are you ready to go to the next level? Are you tired of struggling? Today you're going to hear from one of my 12 Weeks to Transformation clients about how even though she had lost weight, she was still really unhappy. She didn't feel like she was in control of her life. Instead of settling for the struggle and making herself a victim of it, she USED the struggle and the tools within the 12 Weeks to Transformation to go to the next level. She's happier than ever. She's lost weight. She feels empowered. As you'll hear her say, she's transformed her life over the last 10 months. She's getting up earlier, she's working out more, she's drinking less, spending less, saving more, losing weight and taking great care of herself while enjoying the journey.

You know "the grind"? That feeling like you're always working on something, that "effort" is "hard" or you're just not enjoying the journey? It's all hustle, all pursuit, no pleasure? I've certainly been there. In today's listener Q&A episode, we're answering a bunch of questions including several about how to balance growth & progress with contentment and really enjoying life and the journey of each day. This is such a critically important topic and I hope you'll take a listen! https://primalpotential.com/615/ Questions in Today's Growth without the Grind Episode: How do I balance what I want most with what I want now? I kind of just want to chill out and get out of the grind. Are there any foods you never allow yourself to eat? (I reference this episode on Soy Story) What do you think about something like the 21-Day Fix from Beach Body where you eat specific portions from specific-sized containers? I have persistent cravings. I want to get healthier and I want to enjoy the food I'm eating, but how

Stop complicating things. It's holding you back, slowing you down and overwhelming you. Today we're talking about practicing simplicity in your thoughts and actions - I promise you it will fast track your progress! Whether you're thinking about changing what you eat, improving your health or fitness, losing weight, starting a business, paying off debt or enhancing your relationship, complexity is the enemy of progress! In today's episode we'll talk about a new paradigm around progress and I'll help you catch yourself when you're adding unnecessary complexity and help you get to your simple, effective path to progress. https://primalpotential.com/614 Stop Complicating, Start Simplifying People complicate things to justify their inaction and support their excuses. Complexity is the enemy of execution. Stop adding more when less will do. "Knowledge is about piling up facts. Wisdom lies in simplification" Martin Fischer Eliminate the unnecessary so the necessary may speak. What have you added to the facts? Iden

Do you struggle with not wanting to miss out? Do vacations, travel or evenings out get you worried about that line between deprivation and over-indulgence? Travel used to be a total train wreck for me. I was constantly worried about food. I worried about eating too much. I stressed about not enjoying things enough and feeling like I was on the sidelines, deprived. I really saw it as either/or - either I indulge and feel frustrated with myself, or I don't and I feel like I'm missing out and deprived. Last week, I took a vacation in Bermuda. I shared a lot of pictures in my Instagram stories and posted daily recaps in our private (free) Primal Potential FB group. Today, I'm sharing the mindsets and strategies I employed to ensure that I didn't ever miss out AND I felt amazing every single day! You never have to feel like you're missing out again AND you don't have to return feeling like you "blew it". https://primalpotential.com/613/ Resources: Hop on the wait list for the summer 12 Weeks to Transformation!

If you want to make big change in your life but you aren't sure how - this is your show. If you're going through the motions & want to break free, tune in! Today I'm talking with Rob Murgatroyd about his decision to refuse the status quo and his unwillingness to settle for anything less than a life he loved. We're exploring how he walked about from a successful chiropractic practice and embraced uncertainty so he could create the life of his dreams instead of settling for a routine he was no longer enjoying. Rob is so full of powerful truths and empowering mindsets. He serves up some tough love, reminding us that we can certainly continue to tell the story of why we can't do something but we're also free to stop telling that story and start to focus on how and why we can. https://primalpotential.com/611/ Want to connect with Rob?
