How much willpower do you use just to get through a day: getting out of bed, pushing through deadlines, keeping up with responsibilities? For a while, willpower works. But eventually, it runs out. And when it does, many of us panic and wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” In this episode of Millennial Midlife, Cecelia explains why willpower isn’t broken (you’re not broken), it’s just not a sustainable tool. She unpacks the fears that sit beneath our reliance on willpower, why force only gets us so far, and what to do instead. You’ll learn how to recognize when you’re forcing yourself, get curious about the emotions underneath procrastination, and replace fear-driven willpower with connection, compassion, and choice. If you’re tired of forcing your way through life, this conversation will help you find a softer, more sustainable way forward.
