Struggling to stay motivated? Feeling discouraged and wondering if it’s even worth it to keep going? This episode is for you.
This week on But First, She Failed, host Paola Soares talks about what it means to show up even when you don’t feel like it—especially in those moments when confidence is low, self-doubt is loud, and the results just aren’t showing up yet.
Whether you’re building a business, growing in your career, or stepping out in faith, discouragement is part of the journey—but it doesn’t have to define you.
In this episode, we dive into:
-
Why motivation isn’t always the answer—and what works instead
-
How to push through discouragement and find your purpose in the process
-
The mindset shifts that help you keep showing up when it’s hard
-
How to fight self-doubt and imposter syndrome with consistency and courage
-
A faith-filled reminder that you’re not behind—you’re just building
This one is honest, encouraging, and the exact push you need if you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or on the verge of giving up.
