If you have been trying to “do better,” stay consistent, or build discipline—but keep feeling exhausted or stuck—this episode is for you.

Discipline is often framed as a mindset or motivation problem. In reality, it is frequently a nervous system issue.

In this episode, Jennie explores why discipline feels so hard when the body is overwhelmed and why pushing harder is not the solution. You will learn how stress, hormonal changes, and emotional overload impact follow-through, and what actually supports sustainable progress.

This conversation is especially relevant for women navigating menopause, chronic stress, or life transitions who want consistency without burnout.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Why discipline breaks down when the nervous system is dysregulated
  • How chronic stress and hormonal shifts impact motivation and follow-through
  • The difference between self-criticism and self-compassion in creating consistency
  • Why regulation must come before routine
  • How to rebuild self-trust without pressure or perfectionism

Key Takeaway

  • Discipline is not about forcing yourself to do more.
  •  It is about creating enough internal safety for consistency to feel possible.
  • When your nervous system is supported, discipline becomes sustainable.
