In this weeks episode I dive into the topic of motivation. I used to be someone who was highly motivated by wanting to be better, wanting a better career, and wanting more money. I was able to accomplish tasks and goals easily. And I was able to get anything and everything done that I set my mind to. But after Brie and Dad died all of that changed. I lost all motivation to do anything. My depression took a hold of me and I couldn’t even clean my house, shower, or meet up with friends. It’s been 1 1/2ish since they passed and I can say that with time things got better. In this episode you hear my story and learn what I do now to get motivated to do the things I need to do and live a more joy filled life. Happy Healing!
