Motivation always dies. Not because you failed, but because it was never meant to last.

This episode is about what happens after the excitement fades. When winter energy hits, progress feels flat, and the emotional fuel that got you started is gone. This is the phase where most people quietly quit — not because they can’t do it, but because they misunderstand what this part of the process is supposed to feel like.

We break down:

• Why motivation is temporary by design
• Why low energy doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path
• How winter exposes weak systems, not weak people
• The lies people tell themselves when quitting feels easier than staying
• How to reset without starting over
• What grounded optimism actually looks like (and why fake positivity makes things worse)

This isn’t a hype episode. It’s an honesty episode.

If motivation is gone and you’re wondering what to do next, this is for you!
