When Motivation Stops Working in Midlife (And What Actually Helps Instead)

Hicunni Episode 311

Motivation often stops working in midlife, and that doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.

In this episode, we explore why willpower and discipline feel heavier than they used to, how the body and nervous system play a larger role in decision-making as we age, and why midlife requires systems instead of pressure-based motivation.

This conversation is about naming the transition, releasing self-blame, and understanding what actually supports sustainable progress in this season of life.

Grab your smoothie or cup of tea, and join the conversation. Let's go!
