Finding your bliss point and not making the holidays about your stress, your body or your choices. https://primalpotential.com/684/

If you have ever felt frustrated by your lack of progress or overwhelmed by all the things you "should" be doing, this episode is for you! You might have created "the gap" that is responsible for those feelings! https://primalpotential.com/683/

Have you ever felt like you want to keep eating even when you know you've given your body enough fuel? This is an interesting question from a listener that we're covering in this Saturday's episode! Here are the questions we're tackling in today's episode: I am at the point where I want to make some career changes. I am currently studying to get my real estate license and I will be working with a great team once I am licensed. The company that I currently work for is not supportive of anything I do outside lab hours (in terms of part-time work) and they are not flexible to allow me to spend time on real estate. My goal is to be self-employed, although I feel the transition is not going to be easy with my current job. Are you still involved with real estate? I would like to hear more about your story of how you started your own businesses and transitioned to being self-employed. I miss your "workouts I love" at the end of your episodes! My question is, what kinds of workouts can we do where we have some flexibility to chat? How did you find your mentor? Do you only coach people on weight loss and is the 12 Weeks to Transformation only about weight loss? At 55 and no career to speak of (long story), can I still make something of myself or find my purpose? Often times after I eat I just don't feel satisfied. I know that I have fueled my body in a good way because I feel energized and not hungry but I just don't feel satisfied (if that makes any sense) and I desire other foods that cause me to stray from my plan. Any thoughts? Make sure to tune in through the end of the episode for the announcement of today's winner of a bottle of digestive enzymes.

I just wrapped up the final meeting of the business mastermind I'm in and today I wanted to share a few of the most powerful things I took away from my time with this epic group of humans. https://primalpotential.com/681/

Today we're talking about critical skills for growth and success: getting motivated, staying motivated and building motivation. https://primalpotential.com/680/

Have you ever felt mentally exhausted? One of our listeners wrote in for today's listener Q&A episode wondering how to find energy on those mentally exhausted days. We're also diving into questions including: Where did I lose my self worth?! How do I sort out my life? I have experimented with fasting and IF for quite some time and find abstinence easier than moderation. I find a lifestyle of only eating once a day quite sustainable but am not losing fat. I was wondering, does the golden rules of carbs mean that, if I break my fast at dinner that I should treat it as a fat loss breakfast i.e. little to no carbs after the long fast? How do I deal with the "blah" days when that's all I seem to be having lately? How to get motivated after repeated failure? If you want to learn more about the free 7 day challenge we have going on, drop your name and email address in here. Today's episode is brought to you by Fabletics!

Can we change everything about ourselves or are there some things we just need to accept? This is one of many topics we're diving into today on this Q&A episode of the podcast!

Is that a characteristic that is really you or what? Can you really change everything you want or is it that sometimes you need to just accept that that is who you are? How do I push myself to get to my goal? Are values and standards the same thing? My knees hurt, I'm 80 lbs over weight, but my doctor told me I should exercise.

I love Saturday shows! Today we're talking food guilt, food sensitivity, family meals and so much more! Here are the specific questions from today's episode: I'm stressed out about my husband's disorganization! How do I overcome my reaction to it? Are the podcast episode notes available for early episodes? I am only on EP 021 and cannot find them on the app or online/website. I struggle with guilty eating. Not feeling guilty for what I eat but feeling guilty for NOT eating. Example: every Sunday my parents cook spaghetti and meat balls and dessert and my mother is a self proclaimed food pusher. Between the Italian in them and the catholic guilt, I feel guilty they take all this time and money to make a nice meal and it's not really something that loves me back. What do you recommend to someone who has lots of food sensitivities? I've hit a plateau - what advice do you have? Is it detrimental to constantly argue with yourself for positive thoughts? How did you grow your Primal Potential audience? https://primalpotential.com/643/ Hop on the wait list for the Fall 12 WT!

Are you playing small? On today's episode I share with you a quote I first heard from Tim Ferriss: "The more labels you apply to yourself, the stupider you become." I'll amend it slightly to say: The more labels you apply to yourself, the smaller your life becomes. Labels limit you. I hear them every day. I'm an emotional eater. I'm an all-or-nothing person. I'm anxious. I'm a spender. I'm not an athlete. The reality is, you can choose to show up however you want to TODAY. You are not limited by yourself but you will be limited by the labels you cling to. If you want to step beyond these limits and into your potential, don't miss today's episode! https://primalpotential.com/642/

A couple weeks ago, I had a powerful conversation about my own need to relax and release. It was a real paradigm-shifting moment for me that came out of a conversation I had with pre & postnatal expert Jessie Mundell. Though the context of our conversation was related to my experience in pregnancy, the lesson I took away from it is so widely applicable to absolutely everyone who listens to this show. Sometimes, what matters more than strength is the ability to relax and release. Sometimes, the most important skill we need to develop is the one that allows us to be mentally, physically and emotionally relaxed.
