Let’s Talk About the Hard Stuff: When You Don’t Feel Like Showing Up

Season 1 | Episode 16

We all hit those moments—when you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, or just plain tired of showing up. You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. And you’re definitely not alone.

In this episode of Optimized Living, Jen gets real about what it looks like when the fire goes dim, the to-do list feels impossible, and you find yourself wanting to ghost your business (and maybe your purpose too).

Inside, you’ll hear:

  • Why feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing
  • What Jen does personally when she hits the “I don’t wanna” wall
  • A gentle reminder that calling doesn’t cancel out hard
  • Four practical ways to reset, realign, and show up without forcing it
  • A faith-led perspective on fatigue, momentum, and grace

Whether you’re in a dry season or just craving someone to get it, this episode will speak straight to your heart.
