Why You’re Tired (Even When You’re “Doing Well”)

Real talk: Motivation dies when values are ignored.

Let’s talk about that quiet exhaustion nobody sees.
You’re checking all the boxes. You’re doing “the right thing.”
But you’re tired. Not the “I need a nap” tired.
The soul-level tired.

Here’s why:
You’re out here performing instead of aligning.

When what you do every day doesn’t match your inner values, you lose your spark.
That “drive” everyone talks about? It’s not hype. It’s harmony.

🔥 If you’re wired for Aesthetic, you need beauty, flow, and creativity in your life.
💰 If Economic is high for you, you need practical, results-based work that pays off.
🧠 If Theoretical is your vibe, you need to be learning and growing—period.

And me? One of my top values is Individualistic—that need for independence, uniqueness, and doing it my way.

Let me tell you how that just showed up for me in real life…

I recently won a $1K pitch competition. 🙌🏾
But listen—it didn’t come easy. I was put on the spot (and trust, I was sweating), and I had to pitch my business in just 45 seconds.

Now I’m not gonna act like I was perfectly prepared. I wanted to be. I told myself I would be. But some days? I forgot to practice. Other days? I just didn’t feel like it. I was tired, distracted, or just not in the mood.

But you know what kept me going?
My desire to do things my way.
To build something unique. To lead with my own voice.
That value—Individualistic—pushed me through.

I practiced that pitch (almost) every day. I stayed in it. I visualized the win. And when it came down to it, I showed up as me. And that version of me? She took the check home.

That’s the power of aligning with your values.

When you stop feeding what motivates you, you burn out.
But when you line your actions up with what matters to you on the inside? You become unstoppable. Your passion flows. Your fatigue fades. Your confidence rises.

Next email, I’ll show you how to start living in alignment so your work (and your life) doesn’t just look good—but feels good too.

You already got what it takes.
Now it’s time to tap into it.
