Welcome back! In this episode we talk about Motivation and how to keep it, even when it feels hard. Staying motivated isn’t about willpower — and it’s definitely not about being “on” all the time. In this episode, I’m sharing 7 realistic ways to stay motivated, even when life feels busy, overwhelming, or exhausting.

1. Motivation isn't Constant

2. Reconnect with your "Why"

3. Set Small, Achievable Goals

4. Build Routines

5. Change your Environment

6. Give Yourself Grace during Hard Seasons

7. Celebrate Progress, not Perfection

Welcome back! If you are new here, thank you for listening :) Our next guest is Sherri Herman. Sherri is a married mom who lives outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is a licensedclinical psychotherapist whose mission is to help you live your healthiest and most fulfilling life.

Having grown up in a family marked by alcoholism and dysfunction, Sherri knows what it’s like to feel unworthy, alone, and disconnected from yourself. Her personal journey—through trauma, two divorces, single parenting, and ultimately, self-compassion—informs her work with empathy and insight. Her approach gets below the surface—gently untangling early patterns while also tending to the nervous system, the body, and the deeper longings of the heart.

I’m excited because in this episode, we are going to dive deeper with Sherri and explore the topic of Perfectionism and People-Pleasing Behavior.
