Hey hey, beautiful human! Today we’re diving into a topic that’s been holding so many of us back: waiting for motivation.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I just need to get motivated again,” this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: motivation is fleeting, and if you’re relying on it to make progress… you’ll always end up stuck in that start-stop cycle.
What if you didn’t need motivation at all?
What I discuss:
Why motivation is just a feeling—and not something you can rely on
The brain science behind why we default to old habits when life gets busy
How simple systems (not willpower!) are the key to real, lasting consistency
Why habits are stronger than emotions—and how to make them automatic
5 practical mindset shifts to stay consistent even on the hardest days
So if you’re tired of waiting for the “perfect Monday” or that magical burst of inspiration… this episode is going to shift everything for you.
If you loved this episode, you’ll also love Episode 537: What I Do on Days I Don’t Feel Like Working Out. I’ll link it in the show notes for you to easily go listen to next.

0:00.0 | Hey there, beautiful human. You're listening to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter, |
0:05.4 | a podcast where I empower you to just be you. With each episode, I dish you a dose of real talk |
0:11.4 | and actionable advice for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving |
0:16.6 | your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace your real. Let's get and let's go. |
0:27.2 | Hello and welcome back to another episode on the Embrace for a podcast. Let me ask you something. |
0:32.0 | Have you ever told yourself if I could just get more motivated, I would finally be consistent. |
0:37.0 | Like maybe you've tried to wait to be in |
0:38.9 | the right mood. The perfect Monday, a burst of inspiration to get back on track. And sure, when |
0:43.1 | motivation shows up, it feels amazing. Everything flows. You're ready to go all in. But what about the |
0:48.7 | days when it doesn't? Because here's the truth. Motivation is absolutely fleeting. It comes and it goes. And if your |
0:55.0 | progress depends on waiting for motivation, you will always be stuck in a cycle of starting, |
1:00.6 | stopping, and starting over again. And so that's why in today's episode, I want to shift your |
1:05.3 | mindset. We're going to be talking about why you actually don't need more motivation. You actually |
1:10.1 | need a system, a system that |
1:12.0 | removes the guesswork, a system that supports you even on the messy and unmotivated days, |
1:17.4 | and a system that keeps you consistent because it's simple, it's sustainable, and it's built |
1:22.7 | for real life. So if you've been feeling stuck in inconsistency or you just can't seem to stay motivated, |
1:28.5 | this episode is absolutely going to be for you. It's going to give you some clarity and most |
1:33.1 | important, some action steps. But before we dive in, I want to share this review. It comes from |
1:37.7 | Hail Craze. She gave a five-star review and said, love this. This podcast is amazing. It's just what |
1:43.9 | I was looking for. It's so |
1:45.2 | informative and encouraging. I love how open and real Julie is. I definitely recommend. |
