Momentum Over Perfection: How to Keep Going When Life Gets Hard

from The Mindful Startup · host Hannah Maria Barris

In this episode of The Mindful Startup Podcast, I share a personal reflection on navigating work during tough times. Coming off of an incredibly difficult week, I had to find a way to show up—even when I felt like I couldn’t. I talk about the balance between quality and consistency, how to avoid the all-or-nothing trap, and why low effort is still effort. If you’re struggling with motivation or dealing with emotional weight, this episode is for you. Let’s redefine productivity with kindness, set realistic expectations, and keep moving forward—one small step at a time.
