Ep 20. Why people quit when motivation dies

from Get Uncomfortable

Motivation always dies. Not because you failed, but because it was never meant to last.This episode is about what happens after the excitement fades. When winter energy hits, progress feels flat, and the emotional fuel that got you started is gone. This is the phase where most people quietly quit — not because they can’t do it, but because they misunderstand what this part of the process is supposed to feel like.We break down:Why motivation is temporary by designWhy low energy doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong pathHow winter exposes weak systems, not weak peopleThe lies people tell themselves when quitting feels easier than stayingHow to reset without starting overWhat grounded optimism actually looks like (and why fake positivity makes things worse)This isn’t a hype episode. It’s an honesty episode.If motivation is gone and you’re wondering what to do next, this is for you!

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
