Resolutions come and go, but real change sticks when it fits you. In this episode of Struck by Enlightenment, I sit down with Michelle Smisek, an actress with a decade in theatre, to unravel the truth about motivation, routines, and personal growth.

We’re often told that motivation is the key to success, but what if that’s not true? What if forcing yourself into a routine has nothing to do with real, lasting change? Resolutions tend to be based on what we should do rather than what actually fits our lifestyle and energy. In this conversation, we challenge the traditional ideas of discipline and willpower, breaking down why external challenges like 75 Hard often fail, how to recognize what you genuinely enjoy in your daily life, and why small wins matter just as much as big achievements.

If you’ve ever felt like you were failing at motivation or struggling to stick to a plan that just doesn’t feel right, this episode will help you rethink success, break free from expectations, and build a routine that truly works.
