Why Motivation Goes Missing and How to Get it Back

About this episode

If motivation feels out of reach, it’s not a willpower problem—it’s your brain doing its job. In this episode, I break down the neuroscience behind motivation, what blocks it, and how to gently get it back using somatic and mindset tools.

If you want to explore what’s been getting in the way of your energy, consistency, or confidence, I’d love to help.

Come book a Midlife Audit with me. It’s free, it’s powerful, I’m not going to sell you anything unless you want to know more. It’s a safe space to reconnect to what you really want—and what’s possible when your motivation gets to work with you, not against you.

You can schedule this 1:1 time with me at janelleminto.com/scheduleacall. I’ll also post the link in the show notes.

What if some of the things you believe are simply “true” about your life are actually stories your mind has created?

And what might those stories be costing you?


In this episode, we’re exploring the invisible space between what happens and what you make it mean, and how those interpretations can shape your emotions, relationships, choices, and ultimately your life.
