Emotional Sobriety: The Missing Skill That Protects Your Consistency 🚪 Ready to take action? Join The Consistency Course Most people think their inconsistency is a habit problem. But what if it's not? What if the real issue is the thought that gives you permission to abandon your standard? "I'm stressed." "It was a rough day." "I'll get back on track tomorrow." "I deserve a break." These are not harmless thoughts. They're part of a permission structure...the way we justify quitting on ourselves. In this episode, we're introducing a concept called emotional sobriety and it might be the thing you've never been taught, but desperately need. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why most inconsistency is emotionally driven, not behavior-driven The difference between responding and reacting and how to shift What it means to live with emotional sobriety, and why it matters How your feelings are real, but not reliable leaders Why we say: "Too much sentiment, not enough substance" The toddler tantrum framework (and how it applies to your goals) Real client examples of emotional spirals that sabotage consistency What to do when your story is incompatible with reality "Your feelings can ride, but they can't drive." If you've ever let stress, overwhelm, frustration, or boredom talk you out of your goals — this episode will show you what to do next. 🎯 Ready to Take the Next Step?

"I was doing great… until I got sick." "It was a stressful day, so I blew it." "It's the weekend. I'll get back on track Monday." Sound familiar? If you've ever felt like you're either "on" or "off," you're not alone — but that approach is keeping you stuck. This episode breaks down one of the most important mindset shifts you'll ever make: 🧠 Consistency is not about staying "on." It's about staying in. Here's what you'll take away from today's episode: The real reason your best intentions collapse when life gets busy, stressful, or unpredictable Why chasing intensity isn't the same as building consistency — and how to tell the difference How to spot yellow flags in your mindset and habits before they derail your progress What "dial thinking" looks like in real life — and how it changes everything 💡 We'll also explore: Why the "all or nothing" mindset leads to burnout How to respond when motivation disappears A simple (but powerful) way to stay engaged even when things don't go as planned 🔁 If you're tired of starting over, this is your pivot point. The Consistency Course is where you stop consuming and start executing.

You've probably said it before: "I was doing great… until life got busy." "I messed up, so the whole day is shot." "I just can't stay consistent."

In this powerful kickoff to our 10-part Consistency Vault series, we're exposing the hidden trap that's keeping so many capable, motivated people stuck in the cycle of "on again, off again" progress.

Modern anxiety isn't just emotional. It's chemical — and it's being triggered and sustained by the way we're living, consuming, and overstimulating ourselves every single day. In this powerful, personal episode, Elizabeth pulls back the curtain on what's really happening when we feel anxious for "no reason" — and shares the neurochemical truth about dopamine, oxytocin, cortisol, and inflammation.

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I didn't fully realize was impacting me — and maybe it's impacting you too. If you've been feeling irritated, overwhelmed, scattered, or like you know what to do but just can't seem to follow through, this episode will shift something major for you. We're talking about constant input — the slow, invisible overload that comes from podcasts, YouTube, group chats, Audible, social media… even the "positive" stuff like inspiration and education. Because here's the truth: You're not unmotivated. You're overloaded. And the more you consume, the harder it becomes to follow through. We break down: Why information overload kills your clarity and consistency How this input creep drains not just your time, but your emotional energy Why follow-through feels harder than ever (and what to do about it) And how to create more space for peace, progress, and presence in your life This isn't about deleting your apps or doing a digital detox. It's about reclaiming your focus — so you can actually act on what you already know. 🎧 Listen now and give your brain the space it's been craving. 🔥 Ready to reduce inflammation and lose weight without extremes?

In this fun and personal episode, I'm sharing what I actually want for Christmas this year — and spoiler alert: it's not much "stuff." From a sauna hat and a flip phone to natural fiber underwear (yes, really), I'm walking you through the practical, intentional, and meaningful things I'm excited about this season. I'm also opening up about some deeper shifts — like why we're keeping Christmas simple for the kids, what our upcoming bedroom swap means to me, and the kind of experiences I want to create around the dinner table. You'll also hear: Why I'm buying myself a flip phone How I'm thinking about "less is more" with kids' gifts The grain mill I can't wait to use What I want to create that can't be wrapped And why I'm leaning into connection over consumption this year This episode is all about intentionality over impulse, presence over presents, and creating a holiday season that feels peaceful, simple, and aligned with the life I want to build. If you're feeling the pull toward less doing, more being this Christmas — this one's for you.

f you're eating healthy, working out, doing "all the things," but still feel like your weight isn't budging — you have to hear this. In this episode, I'm walking you through one of the biggest (and most overlooked) blocks to weight loss: chronic, low-grade inflammation. We're going beyond the basics. This isn't just "sugar is inflammatory" or "cut processed food." We're talking about the cumulative, daily impact of everything from your toothpaste to your sleep schedule, your stress, your gut, your hormones, and more. 🔥 Here's what we cover: What is inflammation — and what makes something inflammatory? How chronic inflammation blocks fat loss (even with a good diet and exercise!) Signs you're inflamed (that have nothing to do with pain or swelling) How long it takes to see and feel results from lowering inflammation Subjective AND lab-based signs that you're healing My personal anti-inflammatory strategies, from milling flour to fiber, sauna, and sleep What I'm not doing (like eliminating everything or living in fear) "We can't eliminate every inflammatory trigger. But we can lighten the load and give our bodies a real shot at healing." Ready to go deeper with me?

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're not broken. You're just fighting against your environment—and it's a losing battle. In this episode, Elizabeth gets real about the truth we all feel but rarely talk about: Your willpower will never beat your environment. From overflowing mudrooms to cluttered kitchen counters, chaotic homes create chaotic minds—and chaotic minds make impulsive decisions. Sound familiar? This episode dives into: Why your space might be silently sabotaging your progress How clutter triggers stress, reactivity, and that "I need a break" urge The common household patterns that wear down your willpower And most importantly—6 simple things you can do to make your environment support your goals, not destroy them You don't need a Pinterest-worthy house. You need a space that lets you breathe. You'll hear real-life, messy, relatable examples—like: Why there are 77 shoes in the mudroom (with only 5 people in the house) The Ninja Creamy that hasn't moved in months How to stop "moving" things and start putting them away If you've ever thought, "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it"—this episode will hit home. HARD. 🔑 In This Episode You'll Learn: The overlooked link between clutter and cravings The sneaky ways your space increases stress and sabotages progress 6 actionable, doable, non-overwhelming ways to reclaim peace in your environment

It's easy to get caught up in all the health trends—saunas, red light therapy, cold plunges, expensive supplements—but at the end of the day, nothing will trump the basics. In this episode, I'm walking you through two lifestyle changes I've made recently that are supporting my health in a big way. One is a little "crunchy," and one is super accessible. Neither replaces the big rocks of health (like reducing processed foods, stabilizing blood sugar, managing stress, and getting good sleep), but both have helped me reinforce the foundation. Here's what we dive into: Why I started milling our own flour (and what you're really getting in store-bought flour) What "bleached" flour actually means—and what that's doing to your body What's really in dough conditioners (and why you want to avoid them) How fresh-milled flour tastes better, saves money, and massively improves nutrient density The simple morning fiber drink I take with psyllium husk and citrus How fiber helps you detox and reduce inflammation Why detox pathways matter for fat loss, hormones, and inflammation And most importantly, how to stop chasing trends and come back to the daily practices that actually move the needle. ✨ Want to pursue weight loss by reducing inflammation in January?

Episode Summary: I recently decided to go back into a weight loss phase, and in this episode, I'm telling you exactly why. Spoiler alert: it's not because I hate my body or feel like a failure—it's because of what I learned about how excess body fat impacts your brain, your long-term health, and your everyday clarity, energy, and decision-making. We'll talk about: Why "feeling fine" can actually be a red flag if it keeps you stuck in complacency What I'm changing—even though I was already eating well and exercising How excess fat reduces brain volume, blood flow, and function (even if you feel healthy) Why your brain is absolutely capable of healing and what it needs to do that The real meaning of anti-inflammatory weight loss (and it's not just about food) I'm also answering some of the biggest questions that come up around inflammation and weight, including: Can you heal your brain if damage has already been done? What if you know you need to lose weight but you're just not ready? What if you're overwhelmed and don't know where to start? How do you even know if inflammation is a problem for you? 💥 Ready to take action in January? Join me for IMPACT: Inflammation, starting January 5th.

In this powerful episode, I'm opening up about a recent decision to return to weight loss mode—not from a place of shame or desperation, but from clarity, alignment, and a deep understanding of how excess body fat impacts more than just how we look or feel.

You're not avoiding the scale. You're not avoiding the bank statement. You're not avoiding the hard conversation or the overflowing inbox. You're avoiding how you think you'll feel when you see it. But here's the truth: You already feel that way. You already feel heavy. You already feel ashamed. You already feel anxious and behind and overwhelmed. Avoidance doesn't protect you — it prolongs your suffering. It doesn't delay the pain — it drains you slowly while convincing you that you're safe. In this episode, we're unpacking: Why avoidance feels like safety but functions like a trap What you're really running from (hint: it's not the number) Why facing it now is easier than carrying it another day And how to start moving forward — even if you're scared This is the wake-up call for anyone avoiding the thing they know they need to face. The number. The truth. The next step. If you're ready to stop circling the truth and start standing in it — this one's for you.

If you're routinely feeling overwhelmed, you can't skip this episode. In fact, you probably ought to share it with all your friends who relate to routine overwhelm? What if it's not so much that you're overwhelmed, but that you're being undisciplined, either with your focus, your time, your choices or your energy? I'm telling you - this is one to save and share because boy, does it change the game! 

Don't wait. Join me. This is a life-changing opportunity, and I say that with every ounce of seriousness that your life and your goals deserve! Secure Your Spot
