Beyond Feelings: Finding True Motivation

Revelation Within On the Go!

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I just don’t feel like it,” even when something really matters? We have too. In this episode, Heidi shares a game-changing realization: if we wait for motivation to magically show up, we might stay stuck. But when we make choices based on our values—especially our identity in Christ—something shifts. We explore what it means to stop letting feelings drive the bus and start acting from a place that’s rooted and true.

This conversation gets real as we share honest struggles and simple tools that help us move forward, even when emotions push back. From the “first thought, second thought” approach to a quick values-check practice, we offer a framework that helps you pause, reflect, and take action that aligns with who you really are. It’s not about forcing yourself through life—it’s about recognizing that motivation often follows movement, especially when that movement starts from your core values.
