The Motivation Myth: Why You Don’t Need It—And How to Rewire Your Brain for Consistency | Ep.11
You've been told you need motivation to change your life—but what if that’s the wrong starting point altogether?
In this episode of Backyard Health, we’re busting the biggest myth in the wellness world: that motivation is the secret to success. (Spoiler: it’s not.)
I’ll take you behind the scenes of how your brain actually processes motivation—down to the chemistry—and explain why waiting to “feel motivated” is keeping you stuck.
You’ll learn:
✨ The real science behind motivation (and why it fades so fast)
✨ How to build energy momentum—my signature method for follow-through
✨ What it means to rewire your neural, psychological, and behavioral systems for habit change
✨ How to take action without relying on willpower
✨ Why your fat loss journey depends more on your systems than your goals
If you’ve ever felt like your lack of motivation is the reason you can’t stay consistent, this episode will change everything.
💡 This is your permission slip to stop waiting—and start building a life that flows.
