Mindful Mystics Podcast: The Secrets to Motivation -- From Stuck to Inspired
Brought to you by Paranormal Underground Radio
Episode Date: 7.30.2025
Hosts: Karen Frazier, Chuckie G, and Cheryl Knight-Wilson
Show Summary:
In this episode of “Mindful Mystics,” we dive deep into the roller coaster of motivation — why it’s so hard to get started, even harder to stay consistent, and what actually works when willpower alone doesn’t cut it.
Karen introduces a surprisingly simple formula for motivation: expectation × value ÷ cost), and together we break it down with real-life examples — from workout routines and health goals to creative projects and the everyday “I’ll start tomorrow” trap. Along the way, Cheryl opens up about her own perfectionist hurdles with writing, Chuck shares how he manages motivation one tiny step at a time, and Karen explores how reframing expectations can shift everything.
If you’ve ever felt stuck or uninspired, this episode offers a path forward — one small step at a time.
