Why You Lose Motivation Every November (And How to Stay Consistent Without Burning Out)

If you’ve been staring at your workout shoes like they offended you, your salad tastes like punishment, and your kid’s school emails are giving you heart palpitations…this episode is for you.

Every November, without fail, women tell me the same thing:
“My motivation is gone. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I was doing so well.”

And every year I say the same thing:
Nothing is wrong with you.
It’s November.

In this episode, I break down the real physiological and nervous system reasons why everything feels harder right now. From daylight changes and serotonin dips to poor sleep, emotional load, and the November avalanche of responsibilities… your body is not failing you. It’s protecting you.

You’ll learn:

• why motivation tanks every November
• why “trying harder” always backfires
• what your nervous system actually needs
• the three habits that save my clients in this season
• how to lower the bar without lowering the standard
• why Nervous System regulation changes everything
• the anchor habit that stabilizes your entire month
• what makes a program unquittable
• how to know if you’re truly ready for change
