Ever wondered why your motivation vanished? This week expands upon last week's topic an dives deeper into the why of “I’m Just Unmotivated” to finally realizing I was living in a soul cage. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what was really happening during a season I thought was a “motivation problem.” Spoiler: it wasn’t about willpower at all.
I share the behind-the-scenes of what it feels like to live inside someone else’s energetic field—when their comfort, approval, or image quietly becomes more important than your truth.
We’ll talk about the silent rules, the unspoken contracts, the “loving” but controlling dynamics that slowly siphon off your life force, and why it leaves you foggy, disconnected, and convinced you’re the problem.
This is a conversation about enmeshment, spiritual gaslighting, and the invisible cages that can exist in even the most “supportive” relationships.
But it’s also a story of what happens when you break free—when your energy returns, your clarity resurfaces, and your soul finally gets to lead again.
If you’ve ever dimmed your light to keep the peace, performed worthiness just to belong, or abandoned your own needs to stay “safe,” this one’s for you.
It’s a tender, truth-telling reminder that your motivation isn’t gone—it’s just waiting for the moment you belong to yourself again.
Because, friend, you were never lazy.
You were contained.
And now… it’s time to be free.
