Motivation and What It Truly Means With Dr. Allan Wigfield

One question that comes up a LOT is: Why does motivation sometimes feel like a wave, strong one day and completely gone the next? Why does it feel easy to care about something at one moment and impossible the next, especially during school or goal-focused work? For this episode, I really wanted to dig into the science behind motivation during adolescence. What drives teens to engage and persist? Why do motivation patterns shift so much in these years? Finally, and most importantly, how can teens better understand their own motivation so they can navigate school, goals, and life with more confidence and clarity? To help us explore these big questions, I’m honored to welcome Dr. Allan Wigfield.
