You set the intention. You know exactly what you want. And somehow the motivation still fades before you even really get started. The internet tells you to find your "why" and the fade will stop. It won't – because motivation was never the actual problem.
In this episode I break down why your MindSet (the rational, linear, boundaried part of you) and your SoulSet (the open, spiritual, connective part of you) have to be in alignment before any change actually sticks – and why a landmark weight-loss study on the 5% of people who keep weight off for good found that discipline had nothing to do with it. Purpose did.
Purpose isn't a job or a goal, or a list you chase and check off. It's the internal sense of meaning and fit that tells your MindSet what to build boundaries around and your SoulSet what to stay open to. I'm sharing the exact moment mine shifted – holding my newborn son, mid-fight with my husband, realizing the purpose I'd built my entire independent life around didn't fit who I was becoming anymore.
