Most people think motivation shows up first. It doesn’t. In this episode of The Weekly Recall, I break down how real motivation is created in dogs and humans, and why timing, consistency, and motivation always work together.

If you’ve been feeling flat, tired, or discouraged, this episode will help you reset without pushing harder. Motivation isn’t about forcing energy. It’s about building meaning. Grab your journal. This one goes deep.
