Feeling stuck waiting for motivation to update your resume or have that tough conversation with your boss? I get it. After 12 years at Amazon, I know workplace anxiety and burnout intimately.

Here's the truth: Motivation isn't coming to save you. It's like a temporary boost that doesn't address the root cause of your career struggles.

In this episode, I share my proven framework for taking action even when you're exhausted from your toxic workplace. You'll discover why waiting for inspiration keeps you trapped and what actually works instead.

I'll walk you through real client examples, including someone who transformed their overwhelming workload without a dramatic confrontation. Plus, I reveal my personal system for staying productive during life's chaos (like moving while running a business).

Key Takeaways:

·       Motivation creates all-or-nothing cycles that leave you more stuck

·       Small, consistent habits beat big bursts of inspiration every time

·       The 3-step micro-action framework that works regardless of how you feel

·       How to attach new habits to existing routines for guaranteed success

·       Why focusing on consistency trumps obsessing over outcomes

"The hardest part isn't the work itself—it's just being willing to take the first step."
