    The Real Reason You Keep Going (or Don’t): Inside Motivation and Resilience
    Oct 1 2025
    Why do we sometimes feel unstoppable—and other times can’t find the motivation to get off the couch? In this episode, Dr. Jessica Griffith-Echito and Dr. Samantha Hayes unpack the psychology of motivation and the deeper role resilience plays in helping us keep going when life gets hard. You’ll discover: The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation—and why one lasts longer. The three core drivers of motivation: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. How to use motivational intelligence to align emotions, goals, and feedback with your values. Practical tools to build resilience, including a 3-step reframing exercise that helps shift your mindset in real time. Ways to sustain motivation long-term and even foster it in others, whether at work, in parenting, or in relationships. This episode isn’t about pushing harder or pretending everything is fine. It’s about learning how to work with your natural motivation, respond with resilience when things get tough, and create sustainable habits that keep you moving forward. 👉 For a deeper dive, explore our Motivation and Resilience Mastery course at resilienceandwellbeing.org , and connect with us on Instagram @resilienceandwellbeingnetwork to share your reflections.
