499: Overcoming The Source Of Struggle Jul 10, 2018

Show notes

Every week, I have a live Q&A webinar with clients in my 12 Weeks to Transformation groups. This past week, there was an obvious theme to the questions that came up: guilt.

In today's episode, we're talking about guilt that stems from the story we create around our choices. We unlock a powerful truth: you create the story. You can always create a new one. You are the master story teller and meaning maker in your life.

As you create these stories are food, alcohol, relationships, workouts or anything else - how do you feel? How do you feel when you believe those thoughts? Do you want to continue to endorse that belief?

In today's episode I'm sharing part of the challenge I gave my clients. I had them do 3 things:

Identify a story that isn't working and/or doesn't reflect what you want
Define a new story
Practice the new story daily in both thought and action

This is an episode you won't want to miss!

498: Baby Steps To Massive Change Jul 09, 2018

Show notes

We have so much to celebrate this week! We're closing in on our 500th episode and it's also Primal Potential's 4 year anniversary!

Last week I asked you all how you wanted to celebrate the 500th episode and many of you suggested hear from some of my clients who have created success and change. Today we're doing just that!

You're going to hear from Amber - a working mom who has lost 120 pounds in the last 18 months. While that's crazy impressive, the weight loss isn't the primary change she made. In fact, the weight loss is a result of the changes she made to the way she thinks.

She's going to share how she made these changes and some of the biggest mindset tools that are helping her along the way.

497: Family Dynamics, Relationships & Food Jul 05, 2018

Show notes

What a special episode! Today I'm sharing a conversation with both my mom & my sister where we answer a handful of questions from the Primal Potential Masters Club & my summer 12 Weeks to Transformation Veterans. We talked about their perspective on my weight struggles and how our relationships have been challenged by them.

We talked about how we have grown and changed as a family and what they have learned from the podcast.

I am so grateful for this episode and it's definitely one of my favorites!

496: How To Stop Creating & Accepting Excuses Jul 02, 2018

Show notes

The other day, I got a wonderful question via Instagram direct message. Here's what it said:

"You're younger than I am and you have your stuff figured OUT!!! How did you get to the point where you stopped binging, stopped making excuses and got consistent?"

I still make excuses. I just have a practice of challenging them and demanding of myself the whole truth.

In today's episode, I'm giving some examples of how I do that so I can be stronger than my excuses. Don't miss it!

495: The End Of All Or Nothing Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

All or nothing is about cycles of intensity & avoidance. All or nothing approaches to fat loss overlook the key to success: consistent execution of the basics. We love dramatic approaches that create dramatic results, even if they aren't sustainable. Here's the thing: it's not sexy, it's not glamorous and it's not exciting but it is both effective and sustainable: know your basics and ruthlessly pursue consistency. In today's episode we're talking about what it looks like when we skip the basics and pursue intensity and how to create a much more effective approach.

494: 8 Mantras That Will Help You Win Hard Moments Jun 25, 2018

Show notes

The other day, I posted on Instagram that more often than not, it's our internal conditions that need to change, not our external ones. We're so quick to place blame on our external circumstances: we don't have enough time, we don't have enough money. Our work schedule is crazy. We don't have enough support. However, when you realize that your lack of progress & lack of consistency are more about your internal conditions than your external ones, you're in a major place of power.

Your internal conditions include your thoughts, words, attitude & perspective, to name a few. In today's episode, we're diving into the how of this. How, exactly, do we do this work to change our internal conditions? I've got you covered! Tune in!

493: What Is CBD? Jun 21, 2018

Show notes

What is CBD? Does it get you high? Can it get you high? CBD refers to cannabidiol and is a non-psychoactive component of cannabis. Not only does CBD not make you feel "high", it actually can block the "high" triggered by the psycho-active component, THC.

The reason we're looking at CBD is due to it's anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety and endocrine-supporting properties.

We'll talk about what CBD is, what it isn't, how it works, the body systems it influences and how it can be used.

492: EMPOWER Jun 18, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode is a hybrid - part book club episode, part manifesto on your ability, independent of all circumstances, to create change.

I read an amazing book called You Are The Placebo and it came to mind immediately when I got a couple of critical comments about episode 490 of the podcast. That episode garnered over 400 emails, text messages, direct messages & social media comments from people who found it helpful and inspiring. It also garnered two critical comments from listeners. Both felt they needed to inform me that depression isn't a choice. Interestingly, I agree and never said it was. I do, however, believe that in every circumstance, we DO have power to create change.

That is what we are diving into, especially the science behind our thoughts, in today's episode. This is, without question, one of my favorite recent episodes! Don't miss it!

491: 10 Life Lessons I Learned In The Gym Jun 14, 2018

Show notes

Getting out of debt changed my life. I had no idea that working towards a financial goal would have such a profound impact on health, motivation and fitness, but it did. Some of the biggest lessons I've learned in life came from getting out of debt.

The same is true of working out. Building a habit of going to the gym and embracing fitness has taught me lessons about hard work, consistency and stepping out of my comfort zone. Many of these lessons have come directly from CrossFit and while they were learned in the gym, they've changed my life outside of the gym!

490: Joy, Depression, Pain & Progress Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

Change can be hard. It can be frustrating. It can feel lonely. For much of my life I felt exhausted by work I hadn't even yet done...I felt like the road ahead of me was impossible. I have no doubt that those feelings contributed to depression & isolation.

I could absolutely still choose that perspective. I could choose to upset myself by fixating on what I don't yet have, on how far I have to go, on the gap between where I am and where I want to be and the work I'll have to do to change.

Fortunately, I choose a dramatically different perspective and my new perspective makes change dramatically easier and prevents me from experiencing depressive symptoms.

Like many of you, I've been moved by the recent high profile celebrity suicides. In today's episode, I'm talking about pleasure, pain, joy and depression. Even if depression isn't something you're struggling with, this episode might help you help someone you love.

I hope you'll listen.
