528: Stuck or Lost? How to Find Your Clarity When Life Feels Off Track

Ever feel trapped or directionless in your journey—personally or professionally?

In this episode, I revisit my own story of career pivots, the power of taking action, and how understanding your emotions (yes, I use a “joy meter”) can unlock the true clarity you’ve been searching for.

If you’re feeling stuck, I promise: action and self-awareness can change your trajectory.

Here are My 3 Key Takeaways:

1. Stuck vs. Lost: Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re lost—you might just be on the right path but pointed the wrong way. Frustration can cloud your judgment, but clarity comes when you separate the two and keep moving.

2. Clarity Comes Through Action: You can’t think your way to clarity; you have to act. Paying attention to how your choices affect your well-being (like my “joy meter” system) is essential in steering yourself back on course.

3. It’s Okay to Step Away: Sometimes, the bravest and healthiest thing you can do is stop doing what no longer serves you, even if you’ve invested time and energy. Recognizing when to move on—whether from a job, commitment, or relationship—is how you find true alignment and growth.
