After taking a four year break on his Oklahoma ranch, Blake Shelton is back on the road and riding the high of his new album, For Recreational Use Only . After 29 number one hits, and a detour into Hollywood, Blake’s scorching hot single “Texas” proves he’s still got it. Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer recalls meeting Blake Shelton during a crazy storm that really put the “thunder” in Country Thunder. After 23 seasons on The Voice , Blake opens up about spreading himself thin and making the choice to be “a TV guy or a touring guy.” The two reminisce about Toby Keith and why being a road dog is the best way to learn how to entertain a crowd. Blake reveals how his worst on-stage “ass-kicking” taught him how to be himself in front of a crowd. After taking so much time away from the spotlight, Blake shares that it was Post Malone who reminded him that he’s still a country singer at heart.…

If you aren't on my email list and want to get the emails and resources that go along with this message series, please click here . After dropping in your name and email, you'll be re-directed to all the resources. You can be right in the moment… and still be really wrong in the pattern. Today’s episode is a call to honesty. Not about whether a single choice “matters” but whether the pattern it belongs to is quietly killing your progress. Because here’s the trap: We justify what’s familiar. We rationalize what’s comfortable. We talk ourselves into “one more time” like it’s no big deal. But over and over again, we’re protecting the very behavior that’s holding us back. Inside this episode: Why “familiar” is not the same thing as “neutral” The hidden cost of being “right” in the moment A powerful lens to recognize when a pattern needs to be broken — even if the choice seems harmless The one question you must ask when justifying a pattern 🔥 This is the kind of honesty that moves the needle.

1315: The Silent Trap of a Productive Life 20:12

לפני 4 ימים20:12

20:12

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful and uncomfortable truth: you can be incredibly productive and still be wildly ineffective. If you’ve ever felt like your days are full but your life feels stuck — this is for you. I’m drawing inspiration from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis — a book where the devil teaches his apprentice how to keep someone distracted from living a meaningful, intentional life. One of the strategies? Keep them trapped in their to-do list. Make them believe that daily logistics are real life — and never let them question it. We’re talking about: The danger of mistaking motion for progress How the “secondary” quietly replaces the “primary” Why the tasks that feel urgent often aren't important How to reframe your days around what truly matters This isn’t about doing less — it’s about making room for what’s real .

1314: Addicted to Novelty: How Chasing "New" Nearly Crushed My Business (And My Health) 19:29

לפני 9 ימים19:29

19:29

📋 Episode Summary: In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story — one that almost cost me my business, sabotaged my health, and left me emotionally flat: my addiction to novelty . I chased the next new thing like it was the answer to everything — and for a while, it felt like momentum. But the truth? It was misdirection. Whether it’s in weight loss, business, or life, we’ve been conditioned to confuse excitement with effectiveness. And when the emotional high of “new” wears off, we think we’re off track. We’re not. This episode is your reminder that consistency will always beat novelty — when you let it. 🧠 What You'll Learn: Why chasing the “next new thing” feels like progress — but usually isn’t How emotional flatness isn’t failure — it’s feedback The difference between pushing and precision How to identify the “novelty trap” in your own life What sustainable progress actually looks and feels like Why you might be mistaking emotional withdrawal for being “off track” Questions to ask when you’re tempted to start over… again 💥 Power Phrases from This Episode: “Novelty gives you a hit but mastery gives you freedom.” “Progress isn’t about being emotionally high it’s about being directionally right.” “You’re not addicted to results, you’re addicted to change.” “You’re building a system, not chasing a feeling.” “Consistency isn’t built by flair, it’s built by follow-through.” ✨ Mentioned Inside: The Consistency Course — If you’re ready to stop starting over and build something that lasts, this is for you.

1313: The Known Zone: You’re Not Actually Comfortable 25:13

לפני 11 ימים25:13

25:13

We love to call it a comfort zone , but let’s be honest — if you were truly comfortable, you wouldn’t be emailing me, considering a change, or listening to this podcast. What we call the “comfort zone” is almost never comfortable. It’s just known . Predictable. Familiar. And that’s a trap. In this episode, I’m walking you through a powerful coaching conversation I had with someone on the fence about making a change. She thought she was afraid to leave her comfort zone… but what she was really bumping up against was the exposure of wanting more. We’re getting into: Why what we label as comfort is often just familiarity The real reason you might be afraid to change (and what you’re already missing out on) How your current fear might just be a red triangle in the storybook Zoom — you’re too close to it to see what it really is And most importantly, I’m sharing three practical ways to get out of the known zone and into forward momentum: Make small changes — simple disruptions to your routines build pattern-breaking momentum Create strategic disappointment — practice saying “no” in low-stakes moments so the harder ones don’t knock you down Choose intentional vulnerability — share the thing you’d rather not share; say the thing you usually skip over This isn’t about overhauling your life. It’s about doing one thing differently — and letting it open the door to change. 💡 Mentioned in this episode: The Consistency Course - learn more or start today!

Episode Summary: In this powerful solo episode, Elizabeth gets real about what it means to feel like you're drowning—in grief, in overwhelm, in apathy—and why that doesn't mean you get to stop. With raw stories from parenting, business, and everyday life, she dismantles the lies we believe when we're stuck and reminds us that swimming doesn't require strength—it just requires movement. Whether you're spiraling in “I don’t care” or paralyzed by “I don’t know what to do,” this episode will call you up —not out —and show you exactly what it looks like to keep going when you're not sure you can. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why panic makes you sink—and how to stop it The difference between being stuck and choosing stillness The real reason “I don’t care” and “I don’t know what to do” are lies Practical ways to “swim” even in your hardest moments Why resourcefulness is your most underused superpower What Elizabeth tells herself when she’s tempted to shut down Powerful Quotes: “You don’t need all the answers. You just need your next question.” “If you didn’t care, it wouldn’t feel like a problem.” “No one is coming to swim for you. But help is everywhere if you reach for it.” “The very feeling that makes you feel stuck is the very reason you need to do something.” Resources & Links: Email Elizabeth: elizabeth@primalpotential.com Join the Consistency Course See some of EB's Favorite Resources If this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who’s in deep water.

1307: Blind Spot Culture: What You’re Avoiding is What’s Keeping You Stuck 20:24

🔍 Episode Description: But first! Take the quiz to identify your primary barrier to consistency: primalpotential.com/quiz Let’s talk about what you’re avoiding — the scale, the check-in, the budget, the truth. Not because you don’t know … but because you don’t want to face it. In this episode, we dive into Blind Spot Culture — the subtle but powerful way we avoid clarity and call it "grace" or "self-care" while continuing to drift. Whether it’s telling yourself food is comfort, or skipping your check-in because “you already know it was a bad week,” this kind of avoidance is robbing you of the change you say you want. We’ll unpack: What blind spots really are (hint: they’re not about ignorance) Why we avoid feedback, mirrors, and metrics How “comfort” habits like overeating are masking deeper needs What it’s actually costing you to avoid facing the truth Simple ways to break free from the patterns that are keeping you stuck If you're ready to stop drifting and finally build momentum, this episode is a must-listen. 🧠 Key Takeaways: Avoidance isn’t protection — it’s a trap. The truth doesn’t get more painful when you face it — it gets more useful . Food, distractions, and "grace" are often just blind spots in disguise. The moment you look is the moment you take your power back. 🎯 Ready to Break the Cycle?

Ever feel like you're arguing with yourself all day long — about getting up early, skipping the snack, following through — and somehow, the wrong voice keeps winning? You're not broken.

We have to stop giving ourselves a pass with vague, soft language. “Emotional eating.” “Self-sabotage.” “Checked out.” “Comfort food.” These phrases sound like awareness — but most of the time, they’re actually avoidance. They’re smokescreens that help us label the pattern without actually examining it. But if we want to get out of the cycle, we’ve got to stop naming things in a way that lets us off the hook. In today’s episode, we’re getting real. I’ll walk you through: Why vague labels keep us stuck How to replace them with specific, honest observations The role clarity plays in breaking patterns And how this one shift alone can change everything — without needing more willpower or motivation If you’ve ever said, “I just keep sabotaging myself,” this one’s for you. 🔥 Mentioned In This Episode: The Consistency Course : Real-time coaching, honest daily practices, and a support system that helps you drop the vague and build the momentum. 📩 Ready for more clarity and momentum?

We’ve been sold a lie that progress has to be painful—and that if we enjoy the path, we’re probably doing it wrong. But what if the opposite is true? In this episode, I’m introducing you to an idea I’m calling 75 Fun—not a challenge, not a reset, but a rhythm. A summer rhythm that actually feels good to live. One that includes strength, rest, play, and connection… without guilt or burnout. We’ll talk about: Why most plans fall apart (hint: they’re miserable) The fear that “ease” means “failure” How I’m designing a life I don’t want to escape from this summer The difference between indulgence and intentional joy What my personal 75 Fun rhythm looks like (and how you can create your own) This isn’t about perfection. It’s not about doing more. It’s about finally creating a life you love to live—one small decision at a time. Mentioned In Today's Episode: Join me inside The Consistency Course!
