Staying Motivated When You're Super Busy
Feb 09, 2026 Season 1 Episode 104
Kathy Bedward

When life is full, motivation doesn’t disappear — even if it feels like it does.

In this episode, we’re talking about why staying motivated feels so hard when you’re busy, and why trying harder is the wrong solution. If you’ve ever felt like you want to stay consistent but just don’t have the time, energy, or mental space, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

Why busy seasons require a completely different approach to motivation

What actually works when willpower and time are limited (which they always are, by the way)

How to adapt your actions and mindsets without giving up on your weight loss goals

How to stay connected to your habits instead of quitting when life gets hectic

This isn’t about pushing harder or doing more.

It’s about using a smarter strategy that fits your real life — so motivation can meet you where you are.

If you’re ready to explore what you actually want from your (super busy!) life and your health, I invite you to book a private consultation with me. Your adventure will start right on that call!
