Most People Get Motivation Completely Wr...

ERIKA DE PELLEGRIN
About this episode

Still waiting to “feel motivated” before making a change? In this powerful conversation with Tracy Harmoush, we reveal why motivation is overrated and the real skill you need to create lasting change in your life.


If you’ve ever started strong only to fall off track, struggled with discipline, or felt stuck chasing your goals, this episode will flip the way you think about success forever. Tracy shares her proven approach to building unshakable discipline, creating freedom through structure, and shifting your mindset so you can finally achieve what you want, without relying on fleeting bursts of motivation.


💡 You can expect:


  • Why motivation is unreliable (and how to break free from it)
  • The mindset shift that turns discipline into freedom
  • How to follow through even when you don’t feel like it
  • The truth about long-term success (it’s not what you think)
  • Practical tools to rewire your habits for good


If you’re ready to stop starting over and start building a life you can be proud of, this podcast is for you!
