The Surprising Benefits of Feeling Stuck

Feeling stuck can be deeply uncomfortable—and most of us assume it means something has gone wrong. That we're failing, falling behind, or doing life incorrectly. But what if feeling stuck isn't a problem to fix… but a signal worth listening to? In this episode, I explore why feeling emotionally stuck, foggy, or unmotivated is often a sign of intelligence—not failure. You'll learn how "stuckness" can be protective, how it often shows up during important transitions, and why pushing your way out of it can actually keep you stuck longer. If you've been judging yourself for not being further along, or trying to force clarity that won't come, this conversation offers a gentler, wiser way to understand what's happening—and how to work with it instead of against it.
