It's Not a Motivation Problem. It's Misalignment Problem

In this solo episode of Leading You, I’m diving into one of the most common challenges I hear from leaders and high performers: a loss of motivation. But here’s the truth, it’s not that you’ve lost your drive. It’s that you’re out of alignment. I break down the myth of motivation and explore what’s really behind that nagging feeling of being stuck or flat. We’ll talk about how being out of sync with your values and priorities leads to burnout, frustration, and confusion about what to do next. I also share my own experience of walking away from a successful 20-year corporate career to realign with purpose, and how that one decision changed everything. If you’ve been feeling off, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and choose differently. I’ll also introduce you to my You Always Have a Choice program and share practical steps to realign your energy, sharpen your focus, and reconnect with your leadership legacy. Key Takeaways: The surprising truth behind why motivation disappears How to recognise misalignment in your life and work Why your legacy isn’t built someday—it’s shaped by what you choose today The mindset shift that helped me leave corporate life and find purpose Practical strategies to get clear, regain focus, and move forward with confidence Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction to Leading You 00:24 – Re-Energized and Ready: Addressing Motivation Issues 02:09 – The Myth of Motivation 04:40 – Recognising Misalignment in Life 05:59 – The Importance of Legacy 08:18 – You Always Have a Choice Program 09:12 – Personal Story: Finding Clarity and Making Changes 12:11 – Steps to Realign and Gain Clarity 16:04 – Conclusion and Call to Action Resources Mentioned: You Always Have a Choice Program Break Free from the Juggle Workbook (Free Download) Connect with Julie: LinkedIn:    https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-hyde/ Instagram: @juliehydeleads Website:     https://juliehyde.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
