Episode 236: Mindset Shifts For When You Feel Stuck

In this solo episode, I’m opening up about something we all bump into from time to time: that frustrating, foggy, can’t-quite-move-forward feeling. Yep—feeling stuck. Whether it's your wellness routine, career path, or life in general, I’m sharing some powerful mindset shifts that can help you get back into motion—without overhauling your entire life.

We’ll explore why small actions matter, how shifting your physical space can refresh your mental space, and why embracing discomfort might be the key to growth. I’m also talking about how tools like gratitude, visualization, and yes—even rest—can help clear the mental clutter. (Plus, a little story about my cat Beef’s unexpected role in my morning routine.)

Here are some key takeaways to listen for:

• Feeling stuck is a sign—not a failure. It’s often the nudge for change.
  
  

• Small steps create momentum, especially when motivation is low.
  
  

• Your inner critic doesn’t get the final say—you do.
  
  

• Changing your surroundings can help shift your mindset.
  
  

• Discomfort isn’t a red flag—it’s a growth cue.
  
  

• Gratitude and visualization can help rewire your brain for possibility.
  
  

• Rest is a strategy, not a weakness.
  
  

• Prioritizing yourself is how you build long-term progress—not burnout.

And here’s the thing: sometimes the most powerful shift is simply giving yourself permission to pause, pivot, and show up in a way that feels doable—even on the hard days.

Listen in when you need a mindset reset, a little encouragement, or just someone to remind you that you’re doing better than you think.
