In this final episode of Season 2, we're talking about something many women experience but rarely discuss: the sudden loss of motivation. Tasks that once felt easy now require effort. Projects you care about feel harder to start. And you may find yourself wondering what happened to the drive you used to have.
The truth is, this isn't necessarily a lack of discipline, willpower, or desire. Changes in hormones, energy levels, stress, sleep, and nervous system function can all affect your capacity to show up the way you once did.
