Ep 113: When The Novelty Wears Off

About this episode

I get it - at the start… everything feels exciting.

A new goal.

A new routine.

A fresh start.

You’re motivated, all in, and telling everyone about it… until one day - the novelty wears off.

Suddenly, the thing that once felt exciting now feels repetitive, effortful… maybe even a little boring. And this is usually the moment people start to question everything:

“Have I lost motivation?”

“Is this not for me?”

But here’s the truth - nothing’s gone wrong.

You’ve just moved past the novelty.

In this episode, Candice breaks down why excitement was never meant to carry you the whole way, and why so many people get stuck chasing the beginning instead of committing to the process.

If you’ve ever started something strong and struggled to keep going once the hype fades… this one is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

Why the “loss of motivation” isn’t actually the problem
The trap of being addicted to the beginning
What really separates people who follow through vs those who start over
How to stay consistent when things feel boring, repetitive, or hard
