The idea of personal transformation can seem daunting - impossible, even. Fortunately, it's far simpler than you might think! In today's episode, we're exploring the simplest, happiest, most sustainable path to personal transformation and we're doing so by way of a poem that one of my 12 Weeks to Transformation clients wrote and is allowing me to share. https://primalpotential.com/574/ Resources: Learn more about the 12 Weeks to Transformation Listen to episode 559 on the power of Identity Journaling Join the free Primal Potential FB group Follow me on Instagram

Being goal oriented might not be the most effective way to achieve your goals. In fact, I don't think it is! In today's episode, we're talking about the difference between goal oriented and growth oriented and how the latter is likely a far more powerful, lasting approach to creating change. Being growth oriented doesn't mean you don't care about your goals and it certainly doesn't mean you won't reach them. It means that you'll enjoy the journey more and you'll optimize who you are instead of merely trying to manipulate what you choose. https://primalpotential.com/573/ Resources: Learn more about the 12 Weeks to Transformation!

I am so pumped that we've added this third podcast episode each week because it allows me to do something we both appreciate: mindset coaching. Even though the questions are about weight loss, overwhelm, inconsistency or motivation, the solution is often the same: mindset. In today's episode (and likely all subsequent Q&As) we're taking your challenges, struggles and questions and using them as mindset coaching moments. How can you create a solution? Where are there limiting beliefs at play? In what ways are you lying to yourself or only considering one small part of the story? If you have questions or challenges that you'd like my $0.02 on, you can submit them here. Mindset Coaching Questions: How do I stop quitting? How do I stay motivated? How do I overcome my "all or nothing" attitude? I want to be happy with my body again. I'm overweight and pretending to be happy. Can you help? If you have always failed to keep the weight off or failed to be successful at work (or really anything) and you feel like there's no point in trying, how do you get back on your feet to try again? How do I become a better mother & wife and at the same time, lose weight and take great care of myself? One of the things that ruins my motivation when I get going is work and other obligations. I am sure you have an episode in the podcast or have sent an email but how do I prioritize my personal health goals in the midst of work and grad school?

Are your limiting beliefs holding your back? Here's the reality: your life is a reflection of your beliefs and I think it's time to upgrade! I am 100% convinced that the primary reason people are inconsistent and continue to struggle with the same change for years is that they are focused on changing their choices while neglecting to change their beliefs. For example, if you fundamentally believe and continue to make a case for the fact that you're an emotional eater, your choices will align with your belief. Here's the reality about all beliefs, including limiting beliefs: "Your body is a barometer of your belief system." ~ Pam Grout Your life reflects your belief system. Your limiting beliefs will limit your choices and your ability to grow! It's time to edit your beliefs and upgrade your identity! In today's episode we're diving into the impact that our belief system has on our choices, identifying the beliefs that hold you back and talking about how we can fundamentally change what you believe about yourself and your life. https://primalpotential.com/571/ Resources: Learn more about the 12 Weeks to Transformation and get on the wait list!

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: Lack of ownership, accountability or committment Blaming circumstances or other people for your lack of results Arguing with circumstances that are non-negotiable Resistance to change Spreading gossip Projecting (and believing) made up stories instead of focusing on facts Defensiveness to feedback Dealing with hurt feelings Questions for the Drama Queen: Is this mine or someone else's? Am I doing something productive about it? Is this my business or someone else's business? Am I trying to control someone else's thoughts or behaviors? What actually happened without my story? What do I know for sure? What's my part in this? What are my ideas for resolving the issue? Am I grounded in reality? What am I doing today to resolve this? Other powerful ideas from "No Ego" and today's episode: "Venting is your ego's way of avoiding self-reflection." "Your ego is brilliant at finding insult where none is intended."

Growth and change will both require facing your fears. Progress demands that you face your fears. Personally, I believe that fear is a doorway. Whether we're talking about fear of failure, fear of judgement, fear of missing out or any other fear, it is a doorway. Do you go through the doorway of the fear or do you remain on the other side, letting fear stop you and allowing it to limit your life, your growth, your happiness and your relationships? In today's listener Q&A episode, I'm introducing the newest Primal Potential team member and we are sharing honestly how this transition has required both of us to face our fears and step through the doorway of fear. We're also answering your questions about: overcoming emotional eating and the story of the struggle leaving your job to start a new business whether or not there are truly foods that make it more difficult to remain in control adding vegetables to protein shakes which veggies are best raw versus cooked One of the major things I did recently to face my own fears was make three significant financial investments in Primal Potential. I hired a new team member (you meet her on today's episode) I joined a $30,000 business mastermind I hired a business coach Talk about facing your fears! These kinds of major financial investments have always been scary to me. However - here's what they did for me: they forced me to level up. They demanded a next-level committment and performance from me. They were big and scary enough to help me think bigger and work smarter. How are you facing your fears? What will you do about it today?

Recently, I shared in one of the Primal Potential VIP emails a personal growth mantra that inspires the heck out of me: If you want to double your income, triple your growth. To me, this doesn't mean triple the growth of your business, it means triple your personal growth. I believe this has much broader appeal. If you want to double your rate of progress in any area of life, triple your personal growth. If you want to 2x the quality of your relationships, triple your personal growth. Without fail, one of the ways that I create personal growth every single day is via the circle of achievers inside the 12 Weeks to Transformation and the Primal Potential Masters Club. In fact, that might be one of the most powerful ways I create daily personal growth. Recently, of my 12 WT clients shared someone that helped me grow tremendously, and we're exploring it as a personal growth strategy in today's episode. This is one you can apply immediately and with incredible results. Resources: Learn more about the spring 12 Weeks to Transformation! Are you in the Primal Potential Facebook group?

I'm answering your questions today!

I'd love for you to join me in our brand new Primal Potential Facebook group! It's totally free and amazing way to stay motivated and engaged! It's also a great place to get your questions answered! Here are some of the mindset and fat loss questions I'm answering on today's show: I have a question about support. I don't have a big social circle and the few that are in it, aren't focused on weight loss or mindset. I'm loving the new community for this!!!! I was wondering if you have suggestions on how to meet like minded people in my area. I've tried the gym but find everyone politely says hello and then goes on about their routine in silence. Would a different kind of gym help? Any other avenues you think I should explore? You share so many great things-but what have been the TOP couple ideas/perspective shifts that created a pivot or tipping point in your life? Knowing what you know now, if you were to take up 100 pounds overweight tomorrow, and knew you could "perfectly" lose the weight, what are the top 5 things you would adjust immediately. I would love more ideas about how to recognize automatic thoughts, because I'm a weirdo who doesn't think in actual sentences? Or maybe, I'm just so accustomed to having the thoughts that they don't register as sentences in my head (habits). Like I KNOW I do the whole "screw it, Ill start tomorrow" or "this treat doesn't really matter" etc... But those do not come up as words in my mind, more like my mind skips the whole thought and goes straight to the feeling. How to reverse engineer this? Is there normally an "aha" moment that turns us around and takes us down the easy road? Or is it just lots of practice and consistency and eventually it will start working?
