200 Its Not all In Your Head: Why You Might be Lacking Motivation

Published: April 20, 2022, 7 a.m.

I hated the word "mid-life woman" I would secretly think I'm not like them ... I've never had problems hot flashes, weight gain ... I mean geez ... I beat obesity when I was a teenager. My lifestyle is simply impeccable, but \u2026 I had a wake up call that I want to share with you in this episode.\xa0

Since B.C. (Before COVID) I\u2019ve been in denial ... of my exhaustion, racing mind in the middle of the night ... sleep deprivation ... lack of constant physical energy that has been present over the past few years.\xa0

I blamed it on building my business. \u201cThis is normal,\u201d I would tell myself.\xa0 \u201cI\u2019m doing something uncommon \u2026 it\u2019s what I signed up for, right?\u201d\xa0

I knew something was off. It started with brain fog ... feeling isolated, tiredness, exhaustion. I was blaming it on hustle, busy syndrome, and telling myself it\u2019s all in my head ... and I just had to work more on my beliefs. \u201cStay positive \u2026 you got this!\u201d was my mantra.\xa0

It\u2019s like \u2026 wondering why the sink is overflowing, but I didn\u2019t realize I needed to turn off the faucet!\xa0

Thoughts are not the only part of the puzzle of our complex humanity.

When starting a podcast, or going after a big goal, we think it's all about our thoughts, and we just have to believe an intentional one to succeed, but that\u2019s short-sighted.

When our physiology is off our brain is off.
-Dr. Mindy Pelz\xa0

And if you are pre-menopausal or post-meno woman like me, this is like the elephant in the room. You may not even see that your brain has been hijacked by your hormones.

It's NOT JUST IN YOUR HEAD.\xa0

As you\u2019ll hear in this episode, I\u2019m on a mission to call every woman that feels that something is \u201coff,\u201d to STOP the shame game.

Thoughts are only part of the equation.
