Motivation isn't missing. It's misdiagnosed.

If you’ve been telling yourself you just need to “try harder” or “get motivated” - this episode is for you.

When you feel stuck, exhausted, or unable to follow through, the problem usually isn’t laziness or lack of ambition. It’s overload. And your nervous system knows it.

In this episode, Peggy breaks down why motivation is not something you can force - and why chasing it often makes things worse. You’ll learn how low motivation is actually useful information, what it’s really trying to tell you, and how to rebuild momentum without burning yourself out.

This isn’t about hype, hustle, or pushing through.
It’s about stability, small steps, and creating the conditions where motivation returns naturally.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why motivation is a response, not a starting point
• How your nervous system protects you when you’re overwhelmed
• Why “no motivation” is data - not a personal failure
• Simple ways to regain momentum without pressure or guilt

You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re recalibrating.

And that’s wisdom.

When your future needs space, not pressure.

Everyone else seems excited about “next year.”
New goals. New plans. Fresh starts.

But instead of feeling inspired… you feel tired.

In this episode, we talk about why planning your next year can feel strangely heavy - even when you care deeply about your life and career. Not because you lack motivation or discipline, but because your system may already be full.

This conversation is for high-functioning professionals who’ve been carrying responsibility, managing uncertainty, and holding things together quietly behind the scenes - and now find themselves unable to think clearly about what’s next.

You’ll learn:

• Why planning requires space, not willpower

• How exhaustion blocks vision (and why that’s not a flaw)

• Why resistance is often your nervous system protecting you

• A gentler way to approach the future when traditional goal-setting feels impossible

If you’ve been staring at a blank page, feeling guilty for not having a plan, or wondering what’s “wrong” with you - this episode will help you reframe what’s actually happening.
