229. Why Losing Motivation Is Not Your Fault

Ever feel like you’ve hit a wall and can’t figure out why your motivation has disappeared? Here’s the thing: losing motivation isn’t your fault. Motivation isn’t some steady, unshakable thing. It changes as we go through life, just like we do.

What lit you up in your 20s and 30s might not feel right now, and that’s okay. Life throws us curveballs—work, family, caregiving—and sometimes it feels like there’s no room left for you. Add in sneaky traps like comparing yourself to others (or your younger self), trying to do everything at once, or waiting for the “perfect” moment, and it’s no wonder we feel stuck.

But here’s the thing: losing motivation isn’t failure—it’s growth in disguise. In this episode, I’m breaking down why motivation fades, how to stop beating yourself up over it, and what you can do to feel excited again. Spoiler: it doesn’t involve drastic changes or all-or-nothing thinking.

This episode is for you if you’re ready to ditch the guilt and rediscover your spark. Let’s talk about what really matters and how small, meaningful steps can make a big difference.
