    1037 | Struggling to Find Motivation in Midlife? 3 Questions to Ask Yourself

    📺 You can WATCH this episode right here on Apple Podcasts now! If you usually listen, try tapping on the video to experience the episode in a cool new way.  I struggle with motivation too—especially in midlife, when things I used to push through suddenly feel impossible to care about. When that happens, I try to pause before telling myself to work harder and ask a few questions about what I’m pursuing and why. In this episode, I share an excerpt from my upcoming book and walk through three questions that help me check in with myself: • Do I still want this goal? Or am I chasing it because I’ve been chasing it for so long that I haven’t stopped to reconsider? • Does the goal still matter, but the path need to change? Sometimes I still want the destination, but the way I’m trying to get there no longer works for my life. • Am I still connected to my original why? It’s easy to start out pursuing something meaningful and gradually get distracted by recognition, promotions, or someone else’s definition of success. We’re talking about listening to your intuition, outgrowing old goals, and giving yourself permission to rethink the plan. As you listen—or watch—ask yourself: What am I working toward that I haven’t checked in on in a while? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
