Ever hit that point where you just don’t want to do anything—even the things you love? That’s where Charles and Tyra start this episode of Be Awesome Together, live, chaotic, and caffeine-fueled (with guest appearances from dogs, lattes, and laughter). They dive deep into what it means to create in the lull—those moments when motivation dries up but life keeps rolling. From Tyra’s honest talk about burnout and balance to Charles’ raw look at faith, finances, and surfing the chaos, this episode is both unfiltered and surprisingly grounding.
It’s a real-life conversation about staying creative when the universe feels heavy, learning when to rest, and remembering your why when the drive fades. Between the laughter, candid teaching stories, and dog interruptions, you’ll hear what keeps creators moving when they’d rather nap. Think of this one as a permission slip—to slow down, reset, and remember that chaos can be a wave you ride, not one that drowns you.
Actionable Items
Identify your “lull type”: burnout, boredom, overwhelm, or emotional fatigue—and respond accordingly.
Keep a “done list” to remind yourself how far you’ve come when motivation fades.
Change your environment to rekindle creativity—sometimes a new coffee shop or playlist is enough.
Recognize when good enough is good enough—perfection often kills progress.
Protect your creative soul: say no when needed and take breaks before burnout hits.
