#28 - Not feeling motivated? us too

Rowena Tsai & Vivian Van
About this episode

Feeling unmotivated? Indifferent? Meh? Good, because we are too. Let’s unpack that.

This week is all about motivation, or lack thereof. These periods drain our energy and our head space. Whether it’s lack of motivation in our career or finally pursuing a hobby, sometimes our situation gets the best of us. Viv and Ro share in how they each cope with low motivation and how to regain that spark again ✨ 

Pro-tip: When you’re feeling low, reach out to a friend 🙂

As always, thank you for being here! We appreciate you and welcome your feedback ❤️ Please say hello and send over any topics/questions you'd like to hear in future episodes :)
