1312: Feel Like You're Drowning? You Still Have to Swim

CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

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

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.”
