Ep. 306 | "I Don't Feel Like It" Is No Longer An Option

About this episode

Coach Jenn discusses overcoming feelings of overwhelm and the importance of taking action despite not feeling motivated.

Coach Jenn is back this week to talk about that sneaky kind of overwhelm that convinces you you're "busy"… but somehow your to-do list just keeps getting longer. You know the one, where you're waiting to feel motivated, but motivation never shows up, and now even the smallest task feels like climbing Everest in flip flops. Because here's the truth no one really wants to say out loud: you're probably not going to feel like it . Not when it's the dishes. Not when it's the errand. Not when it's the phone call you've been avoiding for three days. And if you keep waiting for the moment you suddenly want to do it… you'll be waiting a while. In this episode, Jenn breaks down why your brain defaults to comfort, how that leads to the freeze → avoid → feel worse cycle, and what actually gets you moving again, without needing some magical burst of motivation. This isn't about doing everything. It's about doing something. Because the shift doesn't happen when you feel ready… it happens the moment you decide that "I don't feel like it" and doing it anyway. Start small. Do the thing anyway. And pay attention to who you become on the other side of it.
