Is it just us, or does September always feel like a mini New Year? That nostalgic back-to-school energy makes it the perfect month to refresh your routine, set new goals, and start going after the life you want.
But TBH, it can be really hard to find the motivation to do alllll of the things. So in today’s Quickie, we’re cracking the code to hacking your motivation and finding the drive to get sh*t done. Spoiler: motivation doesn’t magically appear, it’s all about building goals and habits that move you forward each day!
So let’s get after it! Join us as we chat:
Why motivation is a fallacy
How dopamine motivates you & how to hack it
Why you should start tracking your wins
Visualizing the person you want to be
Using small wins to fuel your reward cycle
Saying byeee to negative self-talk
How to surround yourself with people who inspire you
We hope this episode helps you gather the motivation you need to go out and achieve all your goals!

Do you ever feel like you're less productive when you’re less busy? It’s like the more time you have, the longer it takes to get anything done, and the busier you are, the more you get done. You’re not alone my friends — that’s actually thanks to a phenomenon called Parkinson’s Law.

How are those big new years goals going? Are you holding steady, or losing steam? As we reach the neverending finish line of January, we’re hitting the point where a lot of us will lose that momentum. You might start looking for all of the evidence of why those goals weren’t actually possible or worth it. That’s self-sabotage… and we’re not doing that shit this year, so we called in the incredible Lori Harder to teach us how to make quantum leaps towards becoming the person we want to be in 2024.
I’ve been hitting a ceiling with my upper limits lately — in love, business, and life decisions, limiting beliefs and self-sabotage have been showing all the way up. So I revisited this episode with Lori Harder, and it was a powerful reminder of how to get out of my own way… it felt right to throw it back to this top-performing episode today for anyone who needs to hear this.
