The Real Reason So Many People Feel Disengaged

from Living with Purpose · host Simone Denny

Are you feeling flat, unmotivated or like your old drive has simply disappeared? You're not alone and it's not laziness, weakness or a lack of discipline. In this episode, Simone shares the four real reasons so many people are quietly quitting right now - at work, in relationships and in life itself. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory and a decade of coaching people to find purpose, she explores what's actually happening beneath the surface when we check out, shut down, or just can't seem to care anymore. If you've been wondering why the old approaches - the mindset shifts, the motivation tactics, the pushing through - are no longer working, this episode will give you a completely different lens.
