In this solo episode, Jen Dugard opens up about those days,  the ones where you don’t feel motivated, productive, or inspired. The days when showing up for your clients or your business feels heavy, even though you care deeply about what you do.

If you’re a trainer working with mums (or want to be the go-to trainer in your community), this episode is for you. Jen explores why “I don’t feel like doing anything” days are completely normal, the three main ways they tend to show up for trainers, and how to move through them with kindness and clarity.

Drawing from her own experience, from building Body Beyond Baby to creating Safe Return to Exercise and MumSafe™, Jen shares what nearly two decades in the industry have taught her about motivation, mindset, and building a sustainable business that supports your life, not drains it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “off days” don’t mean you’re failing and why they’re actually part of sustainable growth
• The three types of days trainers commonly experience: overwhelmed, disheartened, and lost
• How to recognise which one you’re in and what to do next
• Practical ways to regulate, reset, and refocus without burning out
• The “power of three” method to simplify your to-do list and move forward gently
• How to use structure, support, and community to stay consistent — even when motivation fades

Key Takeaway

Your business isn’t built on motivation.
It’s built on clear foundations, small consistent actions, and community support that carries you on the hard days.
