Motivation Is a Myth: Why Quick Fixes Don’t Work and Consistency Changes Everything | Season 1, Episode 36

Let’s talk about it—motivation will not carry you through a health journey.

✨ Why motivation fades (and what to build instead)
✨ How quick fixes and trendy products keep you stuck
✨ What the Bible says about faithfulness in the small things
✨ What real consistency looks like in everyday mom life
