Stop Waiting for Motivation: The Secret to Staying Consistent

Hey friends! I’m going to be totally honest with you—it is cold outside, and my motivation has been at an all-time low. Whether it’s hitting the gym, planning healthy meals, or even sitting down to record this podcast, I’ve been feeling that mid-winter slump hard. If you’re currently huddled under a blanket with a space heater at your feet (just like I am right now!), this episode is for you.

Today, we’re getting real about the "February Funk." We’re past the "New Year, New You" excitement, the weather is zapping our energy, and suddenly, the simplest tasks feel like a mountain. But I’ve learned something over the years: motivation isn’t a feeling; it’s an action.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal struggles with staying on track and the exact steps I’m taking to pull myself out of the rut. We also dive into some of your most-asked questions from Instagram about midlife nutrition and what to do when you have zero brainpower left for meal prepping.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Motivation Myth: Why waiting to "feel like it" is holding you back and how to shift into action mode.

• Actionable Strategies: My favorite tricks for staying consistent with exercise (even when I’d rather stay on the couch).

• Eating Well When You’re "Over It": Simple, high-protein meal ideas for when you’re tired of cooking and prepping.

• The Power of Small Wins: How to break down big goals into manageable steps so you don't feel overwhelmed.

• Looking Ahead: Why what we do now in these cold winter months determines how we’ll feel when spring finally arrives.

I’m right there in the trenches with you, friends. Let's stop waiting for the sun to come out to start feeling our best and start taking those small, messy actions today.
