Stop negotiating against the woman you could be.

Coffee in hand? Good. Let me tell you what I mean.

You've started over a hundred times. You don't need another fresh start. You need to stop stopping.

Picture the goal. Now picture yourself already there. What would it take to get there? Probably nothing you haven't done before. The problem isn't that you don't know how to start. It's that you don't know how to keep going when you want to quit.

That's what I teach.

How to stop being the reason you don't have what you want.

Here's what I'm excited about right now.

My new Substack

Twelve years of podcasting, and this is where I'm doing my best work.

Here's the thing about a podcast. I talk, you listen, and I almost never find out what happened when you tried it on a random Tuesday night.

Substack goes both ways. You read something, you tell me what you think or where you got stuck, and I write back. Me, not a team. I reply to almost every single comment.

It's where I'm writing about the stuff I'm working through right now, in real time, with the specifics that don't fit into a 20 minute episode.

There's plenty there for free. And if you want to support the work, you can get the members-only podcast and the deep dives for as low as $8 a month.

What shows up every week

  • Free postsPlenty to read without paying a thing.
  • Members-only deep divesThe deeper, more personal stuff.
  • My private podcastMembers only. It's not on Apple or Spotify.

That's it. I'm not going to spam you. I'd rather send you fewer things that are actually worth your time.

Tuesdays Taste Like Rambutan book cover

It's out!

Roman and I wrote a children's book.

Tuesdays Taste Like Rambutan. One new fruit. Every single Tuesday. Co-written with my son, illustrated by the wonderful Sofiia Zailo, and made for ages 2 to 7. And we made music to go with it!

It's more than a book and some songs. It's about not shrinking your dreams, goals or potential to the most realistic version.

Five upbeat kids' songs under the name Tuesdays with the Thompsons, including "Rambutan" and "We Can Be Mad, But We Can't Be Mean."

Grab copies for the kids, parents, grandparents or teachers you know!

Something new is coming.

Never pay for
coaching
again.

Not a group. Not a call. Not a start date.

Be the first to know the details.

You're on the list. You'll hear from me first.

Before we go further,

hi. I'm Elizabeth.

I've hosted Consistent by Primal Potential since 2014. Nearly 2,000 episodes. One question: how do you actually become the healthiest, happiest version of yourself, without quacks and hacks?

I'm a working mom with three kids 5 and under. A wife. A coach. A two-time author. An over-eager homesteader with a ton to learn, which keeps me honest about what actually works. Not in theory. When life is real and loud and tired.

My vibe? Rigorous compassion. I care about you too much to cosign your excuses. You pay me to not let you lie to yourself.

Because you should know who you're talking to. This is most of my crew.

What I believe.
What I'm not.

Successful people ask for help.

Something is better than nothing. Every single time.

I hate hacks, quacks, and marketing gimmicks.

Most supplements are costly garbage.

Procrastination will bury you.

I'm not a full-of-shit wellness influencer.

I'm not selling you a 90-day transformation.

You already know what to do. That's not the problem.

You don't need to be motivated.

Consistency isn't a personality trait. It's a practice.

Feelings are real. They're not decision-making criteria.

"I don't know" is where you start. Not where you stop.

Specificity is a superpower.

Little hinges swing big doors.

You can't outsource your pushups.

Learning won't change you. Practice will.

five-star reviews on Apple Podcasts. 4.9 rating. Here's what people are saying about the work.

"Wow. I'm going to listen to this a few more times before I respond because wow. This hit the nail on the head."Carie
"Defense Foundations is a game changer. It makes me feel less alone."Melissa T.
When I started working with Elizabeth, I weighed 255 lbs and was 48.9% body fat. Today my weight is in the 180s (which I haven't seen since 2007). All of that pales in comparison to the amazing changes I've made inside, with my outlook, hope, and belief.Consistency Course client
As someone who listens to a million podcasts and falls into that group of procrastinators who just listen and take things in but don't really do much with the information, this feels different. I can feel the change happening already.Victoria
I thought "what if I just have to do one sentence a day. I can do that." I feel like I've had an enormous breakthrough.Sheri
This week my 15 minutes of evening illustration work has turned into an hour. I just proved wrong everything I'd been telling myself for months.Maggie Rose
"Thank you so much. You have changed my life. This has been a missing piece to all of what I do and what I want."Julie

We do things different around here. In every way.

Most sites ask for your email. I'm going to give you mine.

Here's my inbox [email protected]

Write to me. Tell me what you need. What you wish we could solve together. Be as specific as possible. Specificity is a superpower.

I read every email. I reply to as many as I can. And even when I can't write back personally, your emails tell me what to cover on the podcast and what to build next. So I promise you: your email is being heard.

Thanks for being here.

Elizabeth
