What if the effort you're putting in right now is counting for far more than you realise? In this episode, I'm talking about what effort actually looks like in winter and why this season often gets misunderstood. When motivation feels lower, progress looks smaller, or everything seems to require more energy, it's easy to assume you're falling behind. I want to offer a different way of understanding what's really happening when things feel heavier.

I explore why winter effort rarely comes with instant rewards and how that can distort your perception of progress. This episode looks at the danger of measuring winter work with summer expectations, and why doing so can lead you to underestimate yourself and question whether your goals are working. Winter isn't just about the calendar. It's any season where capacity is reduced, margins are tighter, or life is asking more of you than usual.
