Episode Synopsis


In this episode of Headstraight, we’re diving deep into the challenges of losing motivation and uncovering practical strategies for improving teen mental health. It's common for teens to hit a slump where motivation vanishes, leading to self-doubt and emotional decline. We’ll explore how feelings of shame and guilt contribute to this loss of drive, and provide actionable tools to help restore your motivation.    Join host Mark Taylor as we discuss why motivation isn’t rooted in laziness, but in understanding the factors affecting teen self-esteem and mental health. You’ll learn to break the cycle of feeling stuck, overcome self-sabotage, and reconnect with your purpose while building resilience. Let’s make better choices together that foster emotional well-being. Don’t let losing motivation keep you trapped; listen in for a compassionate approach to reigniting your drive!!Want to get involved?I’d love to hear from you:Send me a message → headstraight.co.uk/contactLeave me a voice note → headstraight.co.uk/voicemailShare your feedback by leaving a review (it helps more young people find the podcast) → headstraight.co.uk/reviews/newExplore more from Headstraight:Read the blog version of every episode, packed with extra insights on self-sabotage, motivation, resilience, and mental health → headstraight.co.uk/blogFind out more about me, the host, and why I started this podcast → headstraight.co.uk/aboutNeed support right now?If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or in crisis, visit our Resources pagefor helplines, mental health services, and support options available in the UK and across the world.
