Ever say, “I know what to do, but I just can’t seem to do it”? You’re not alone—and no, it’s not a willpower problem.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why motivation often feels out of reach, even for intelligent, capable people who are doing a lot… but still feel stuck. Whether it's showing up for your body, your business, or your life, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on underneath the struggle to follow through.

You’ll learn:

• Why procrastination and “lack of motivation” are actually signs of something deeper
• How the 3 emotional systems from Compassion Focused Therapy (threat, drive, soothe) influence your actions
• What competitive vs compassionate motivation looks like—and why it matters
• Why pushing through often leads to burnout, not change
• How to reconnect with drive that feels grounded, aligned, and sustainable

This one’s for you if you're tired of high expectations leading to overwhelm, and you’re ready for a new way forward—one that balances high standards with self-compassion.
