This episode explores what motivation really is - and why relying on it can set us up for frustration. Motivation isn’t a stable or reliable resource; it rises and falls with mood, energy levels, stress, and life circumstances. Waiting to “feel motivated” often means waiting indefinitely.

Instead, the focus shifts to building discipline through small, consistent habits that carry us forward even on low-energy days. The episode reflects on how showing up imperfectly still counts, and how progress is often quiet, gradual, and unglamorous.
