Revealed in the Making Series: Part 2—No Motivation? When Your Get Up and Go Has Got Up and Went (All the Feels Are Lying to You)

No motivation? Same.I’ve been in a fog lately—the kind where your get up and go doesn’t just slow down… it disappears. And if I’m being honest, sometimes it dips into something heavier—like putting up the shutters on life itself and closing out everything of light on the other side.And the tricky part? Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like giving up. Sometimes we think we are getting the time out we need...when in reality, what we’re calling “mental health days” can quietly start burying us deeper and deeper.In this episode of Revealed in the Making, I’m talking through that space—where burnout, mental fog, and faith all collide… and where it’s hard to tell the difference between actually resting and quietly staying stuck.Because the cave is real. But don’t stay in the dark cave of your mind… you weren’t meant to live there.I’m not coming at this from the other side. I’m walking this out in real time.00:00 — Welcome to Random Devo Thoughts Setting the tone + what this space is00:40 — When Your Get Up and Go Leaves Without You That fog where everything feels optional02:10 — When “Rest” Starts Lying to You Why staying stuck can feel like self-care03:30 — The Cave Is Real (But It’s Not Home) Bible moment: David, the cave, and the call to move05:00 — Your Feelings Aren’t Always Fighting For You The quiet shift no one warns you about06:45 — What This Looked Like for Me This Week Walking, windows, small intentional choices08:30 — Finding the Crack in the Pavement How tiny movement starts everything10:15 — Don’t Stay in the Cave of Your Mind Truth + tension + turning toward the light11:30 — Prayer for the Fog12:45 — Outro + Where to Find MeAmber Weigand-Buckley is an Amazon #1 bestselling and multi-award-winning author, podcaster, and the founding editor and art director of the multi-award-winning Leading Hearts magazine.
