#417: When It’s Hard to Keep Going: 3 Ways to Find Motivation Through Grief, Loss, & Life’s Hard Times

About this episode

Ever feel like you're barely holding it together? That you're trying to function, but inside, everything hurts... You want to feel better, you want life to be good again, but you're stuck in the middle of the storm and feel like you'll never make it out?

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Kevin Lowe opens up on the 22nd anniversary of the day his life changed forever. This isn't about what happened to Kevin, but rather what happens when you're in the middle of the pain, when the storm hasn't passed yet, and when keeping the faith feels impossible.

This episode isn’t filled with clichés or sugar-coated advice. Instead, Kevin shares the three real ways he learned to keep moving forward—leaning on faith, leaning on others, and learning that healing doesn’t happen on a timeline. Whether you're grieving someone you’ve lost, fighting your own internal battle, or just trying to make it through the day, this episode will meet you where you are—with honesty, compassion, and the reminder that you're not alone.
