#7 - Why Motivation Fades (and What to Do When You Feel Unmotivated)
from The Athlete Mom Project | Pregnancy Workouts, Postpartum Exercises, Meal Plans, Diastasis Recti, Back Pain, and Mindset Tips · host Chandler Sommerfeldt | Strength and Conditioning Coach, Postpartum and Precision Nutrition Certified and Active Life Professional Candidate
In this episode of The Athlete Mom Project, we’re talking about motivation — why it naturally rises and falls, and how to stay consistent when you’re not feeling fired up. Whether you’re training for a race, trying to build muscle, or simply staying active for your health and your kids, motivation isn’t something you “have” or “don’t have.” It moves in cycles, and understanding those cycles can make consistency feel far more doable. In this episode, we break down: why motivation fluctuates how to work with your natural energy and capacity what to do during low-motivation seasons how to stop relying on willpower alone practical ways to stay on track without burning out Instead of trying to force motivation, this conversation focuses on learning how to plan for the lows, leverage the highs, and create systems that support you even when life feels busy or overwhelming. Motivation doesn’t need to be constant for progress to happen. When you understand how it works, you can keep moving forward — even during the messy, chaotic seasons. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and want a clear, step-by-step approach that fits your life, you’re invited to book a free discovery call to talk through what support might look like for you. 🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast If this episode helped you, please rate, review, and share it with a mom who’s trying to lift while raising kids. 🔗 Resources & Links 🏔️ Join the Athlete Mom Project Course Training that fits motherhood — without burnout, all-or-nothing, or sacrificing family life. 👉 [ Learn More Here ] 📲 Learn More About Coaching Programs 👉 Inquire About Coaching Programs Here 💪🏻 Connect with me on Instagram 👉 [@withchanyoucan]
