welcome back after a 3-month disappearing act. In this episode, I get honest about why the podcast felt like a chore, why I kept avoiding recording even though my mic was literally next to my bed, and why we're all exhausted from constantly "locking in" but never actually staying locked in.
we're talking about the great Lock in, the winter arc, and whatever new challenge is coming in january - and why these performative cycles of motivation keep us stuck in day one, day one, day one instead of making real progress.
if you've ever announced you're "locking in," felt motivated for 3 days, fell off, felt guilty, then waited for the next viral challenge to restart the cycle... this one's for you.
let's talk about borrowed motivation, all-or-nothing thinking, and why we need to stop announcing and just start doing.
recorded from a co-working space because apparently I can't do anything productive from my bed anymore.
