In today's Q&A listeners episode, we're opening a conversation on emotional burdens and how they're an important part of the journey. This episode's winner gets a Vanilla GBX protein! https://www.myamareglobal.com/30968/GBXProtein Here's the list of the questions from our listeners that we're discussing this Saturday: Can you talk about making "big" decisions? For example, when EB decided to invest in the business Mastermind group, what were the thoughts and processes? I know you have touched on this somewhat in various podcasts, but I'd love for you to take us back to the moment you signed on. How to keep doing what you need to do for yourself when you're living in perpetual stress (a sick parent, an alcoholic husband, a wayward child, etc)? How can we trust that everything will be okay? I lost weight and then gained it all back. I feel embarrassed and although I know I did it once so I can do it again it feels so much harder. I'm really struggling with body image issues which also makes things harder because of the negative self-talk. How not to carry an emotional burden, when bad or unfair things have happened to you? Or is it okay to feel/react on those occasions? This might sound really stupid, but hopefully, you'll understand what I'm after. Like if someone just treats you really bad, and it genuinely hurts, and you know that you should not react, but it feels unhumanly Teflon-like not to react or feel bad. Can you just have/live the emotions, and still stay on course/be okay? This is one of my biggest struggles. We have the winner for today's giveaway at the end of the episode!

Today we're taking a look at some powerful research supporting the fact that busyness leads to bad decisions and, most importantly, what we can do about it. https://primalpotential.com/723/ Here's the article referenced in today's episode. "When we get caught up in a time scarcity trap of busyness, a panicked firefighting mode, we might only have the capacity to focus on the most immediate, often low-value tasks right in front of us rather than the big project or the long-range strategic thinking that would help keep us out of the tunnel in the first place."

It always helps to figure out first in which area in your life that you could insert DISCIPLINE a little more! Be specific with what outcome you want, work on it every day, and stick with it. The highlight of this Saturday's Q&A episode is discipline and how you could incorporate it into your life. Join us as we tackle the topic! Today's winner gets a bottle of Probiotics! Here's the list of questions we're discussing in this episode: Can you talk about discipline? You always hear that you should be "the dumbest" person in your group in order to elevate and grow. I get the concept. But how do you find that in real life? I have some great long-time friends... that I'm keeping but I keep thinking I should do more and find an additional group? Not easy to do at my age and introvert tendencies. The pictures on my online dating profile are from when I was 30 pounds lighter, which I gained in the last couple of months due to stress and lack of focus. Should I disclose that I've gained weight or should I update the pics (which I haven't been taking pics) or should I pause online dating until I get my shit together? Why can't I stop eating? I've listened to hundreds of EB's podcasts. I'm in therapy and I've lost 80 lbs over 2 years... and I still can't stop eating/bingeing and keep regaining my weight. I still have 100 lbs to lose. We announce the winner of Probiotics at the end of the episode! Here's the Primal Potential Facebook group mentioned in the episode. We're excited to have you there!

Money is a weird topic. I love to talk about it because I think it makes it more accessible for everyone. Others get super squirrely when it comes up. On today's episode, we want to bust through some money myths and misunderstanding and explore how creating financial abundance is for EVERYONE. On today's episode I have Brett Thomas, a former sales executive who left the security of a 25-year career to work for himself and make a bigger impact in the world. We'll also tak with Pat Hintze who quickly realized that working for someone else would limit him. He has worked for himself for over 20 years and the ways it allows him to serve his family & community have far exceeded his expectations. Lastly, you'll hear again from Brooke Thomas, who believes that we have to generate to be generous. https://primalpotential.com/721/

Ladies! Whether you are pre-menopausal or post-menopausal, we ALL have a monthly hormonal cycle. When you eat for your cycle, you feel better! Increase your energy, improve focus, decrease hunger & cravings just by making a few small adjustments based on where you are in your monthly cycle.

I'm so excited to have Brooke Thomas back on the show! Too many people are "fine". Things are "okay". People are living a fine life, even a good life, but not a life they love. Oftentimes, setting a bigger vision feels weird. We're unsure of ourselves and make decisions based on how others might respond to the moves we make. That means living small! In this converation with Brooke Thomas, we talk about how to create clarity for your life and how to respond to yourself as you start going through the fears, doubts and dramas. Be on the lookout for Brooke's new podcast - the Live Out Loud Show launches this week and as soon as it's life, we'll link to it here! https://primalpotential.com/708/

One of the topics we're focusing on in this Saturday's Q&A is NUMBERS - the thing you see on the scale, on your bank account, or on anything else that contributes to your life and mindset. How do you face these figures? What does 'avoidance isn't refuge' mean when it comes to these numbers? Join us as we tackle the topic in this episode! Here's the complete list of questions we're answering today: I would love your opinion on tracking body composition and weight. I'm working with a counselor who wants me to avoid numbers altogether, as she thinks I try to over-control these variables. However, I believe that avoiding these numbers is hiding from them. You once said "avoidance isn't refuge" in the 12WT and it's always stuck with me. I think it's important to train myself to be able to face the numbers and have an objective, non-dramatic response to them regardless of what they are. I also think it's important to have an objective measure of progress so I can re-evaluate whether or not what I'm doing is working. On the other hand, I also feel a reasonable amount of stress at the thought of letting go of numerical measures of progress altogether, so maybe she's onto something. What are your thoughts? What are some physically actionable activities to ride out cravings? How do I stop self-sabotage and procrastination from keeping me from identifying what I truly want in my life? I'd love to hear tips for facing the plateau- after sustained effort, there is a point where the scale seems stuck- (or broken!) How do you maintain focus to have the positive belief that it will happen with sustained effort? What's your thoughts on nut consumption? I absolutely love them, so if you are pro-nut, when would Be the best time to eat them and with what? Today's giveaway winner gets a bottle of mood+! We announce the winner at the end of the episode!

In today's Q&A episode we are talking about the difference between solving the problem and further creating new ones. How to focus on coming up with solutions rather than paying attention to how you feel about the problem? Tune in for the answer! We answer these questions in today's episode: Any tips for problem solving (instead of problem creating)? What the differences are between MCT oil and coconut oil. Are they the same thing? I tried your bullet proof tea the other day, making it with a tablespoon of butter and of coconut oil and found it to be somewhat greasy. Am I using the right amounts? What is happiness? I've lost weight before but I couldn't really see the change. The clothes were a smaller size and people said "you look great " but I couldn't see it. Do you have suggestions for how to change that kind perspective? I'm feeling borderline depressed and unmotivated to do anything. I feel like I spend all my time planning, prepping, and cleaning for my household, with very little gratitude and appreciation. And half the time I feel like I'm just wasting my time and energy on things that only matter to me. I know what I need to do. I know what I want to do. But why should I do them if it doesn't matter to anyone else? How can I stay motivated when no one else around me is or even cares? I signed up for your Breaking Barriers course in June, it is now November and I have yet to complete it, not because I am too busy, but I forget to make it a priority and I get lazy. So my question .... do you think I would do better in the twelve weeks to transformation group? I think I may need more accountability. https://primalpotential.com/688/

Staying motivated without getting obsessed with it? Is that even possible? Is obession bad? Can it be helpful? We have the answer for you in today's Q&A episode! Here's the list of questions we're answering today: Staying motivated without getting obsessed —how do you do it? You've mentioned on the podcast that you have quit drinking coffee during your pregnancy, and I wondered if you could share a bit about what led you to that decision. I just learned that I'm pregnant with my second child, and while I did not give up coffee entirely during my first pregnancy, I think it might be beneficial this time around. I do love my morning coffee and would love some evidence to motivate me on those mornings when a cup of coffee is tempting. Morning sickness hasn't hit me yet, so I'm sure will also affect my coffee consumption. Also, did you quit cold turkey when you learned you were pregnant or did you gradually taper off? How soon can we find out if we have made it into the 12 Weeks to Transformation? How do I give up drinking regular alcohol when it's such a big part of mine and my husband's life and is how we spend our time bonding, as we have three kids and don't do much else but work and look after the kids. What is the best plan if I miss day(s) journaling? How do I get off of being the victim over my health? I blame everything that is wrong with my weight on believed "malfunctioning body" when it fact is my lack of consistency that has brought me here.
