Podcasts about get unstuck

Suffering loss is painful. It's only human to grieve over it. Some people get stuck in their grief, and it sours them for the rest of their lives. Others become sweeter through their painful struggles. In Today's Daily Word & Prayer, I will share some things I do to help restore happiness into my life that will help you gain insight into what you can also do to restore joy into your life.

How do you get unstuck when you're writing a song? Feeling stuck doesn't always mean the same thing—and it doesn't always require the same solution. A songwriter who can't get started may need to develop their musical skills, while someone stuck in the messy middle may need to learn how to tolerate uncertainty. Someone else may be stuck in perfectionism, unable to finish, record, or share their song. This summer, I've been paying close attention to my own songwriting process and the different places where I tend to get stuck. It's helped me see the creative process differently: where you are determines what you need next. In this episode, we'll look at the different phases of the songwriting process—from desire and gathering ideas to choosing, beginning, navigating the messy middle, finishing, recording, and sharing—and the different creative blocks that can arise along the way. Because sometimes you need a songwriting skill. Sometimes you need to make a decision. Sometimes you need to trust yourself, let go of perfectionism, or become willing to see yourself as the songwriter you're becoming. If you're feeling stuck writing a song, don't assume you're behind. Find where you are in the process, identify the bottleneck, and discover what you need to keep moving.

Episode 749 - If you feel like you're spinning your wheels, falling back into old patterns, or constantly trying to get yourself unstuck, the problem may not be a lack of clarity, discipline, or motivation.You're operating from the same internal state and identity that keeps producing the same results.You can know exactly what you need to do and still find yourself procrastinating, overthinking, second-guessing yourself, reverting to old habits, or making the same decisions over and over again.That's because knowing what to do isn't the same as being able to operate as the person who actually does it.In this podcast I break down:• Why high performers can get trapped in cycles of overthinking and inaction• Why you keep falling back into old patterns• How your emotional state influences your perception and decisions• Why working harder isn't always the answer• The connection between identity, behavior, and results• How to interrupt the loop and begin operating from a different identityThe version of you who got you here may not be the version of you who can take you where you want to go next.If you're ready to get out of your own way, this is the work I help my clients do.MY PRODUCTS AND COACHING:

Ever open the Akashic Records and feel like you're getting... nothing? Crickets, silence, a blank space where you expected downloads, information, Divine messages? If yes, you're not alone... and it doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. In this episode of INNER WORK, I'm breaking down exactly what's happening when you feel "stuck" in the Records or when it seems like you're not getting anything, including: ✨ Why learning to read the Akashic Records is a skill that takes practice (just like learning an instrument or language) ✨ Why silence and subtlety can be just as purposeful as big, loud downloads ✨ How to recognize when your ego mind is throwing up resistance — and what to do about it ✨ Why fearful or jarring imagery is NEVER coming from the unconditionally loving field of the Records (it's always coming from ego!) ✨ How to trust that something is always happening, even when it doesn't feel like it If you've ever questioned your ability to connect, or wondered if you're "doing it right," this one's for you. As mentioned in the episode, here's my previous video on understanding the language of the Akashic Records: https://youtu.be/oof4g8cBGvw Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

What do you do when you feel stuck - in a job you hate, a relationship that has gone flat, or a version of yourself you no longer recognise? Life and business coach Mark Fennell joins Laura for a warm, practical conversation about how people actually get moving again - starting not with a grand plan, but with a single next step.A qualified electrician who began as a youth volunteer worker, Mark shares how coaching became his life's work, and why identity - how you see yourself - sits underneath almost everything. He speaks with real tenderness about the loss he and his wife carried when they were told they couldn't have children, and how they slowly built a genuinely contented life by asking one question: what can we still do that brings us in that direction?From the medical student who became a millionaire painter-decorator to the young carer who believed he would never laugh again, Mark's stories keep returning to the same truths: make the decision, take the action, and be careful what you define yourself as. Along the way, he and Laura take a more realistic look at manifestation, the fluff in the wellness world, and why, in relationships especially, action communicates far more than words.

Dave Crysler sits down with Mike O'Neill, founder of Bench Builders and host of the Get Unstuck and On Target podcast. After 25 years in corporate HR, Mike coaches senior leaders who need more than a sounding board, and trains the first-line supervisors most companies promote without ever preparing. Together they dig into why the top of the org chart is the most isolated seat in the building, and why the biggest leadership payoff lives at the bottom of it. What You'll Discover: • Why it really is lonely at the top, and how leaders end up surrounded by people who only tell them what they want to hear • The difference between a sounding board and a trusted advisor who pushes back when it matters • Why stepping into the C-suite is a whole new ball game, not just the next rung in the progression • How Mike's verbal 360 and leadership scouting report expose the gap between how leaders see themselves and how their teams see them • Why the hardest leadership transition is going from peer to supervisor • The real reason companies of every size skip supervisor training, from small shops to major automotive corporations • How untrained supervisors show up in turnover, safety numbers, and employee surveys • What happens between training sessions that makes new leadership skills actually stick • Why culture is the behavior you can observe, not the poster on the wall If you've ever promoted your best operator and watched them struggle, or looked around and realized nobody in the building pushes back on your thinking, this conversation is for you. Mike's approach to building strength at every level pairs with Dave's clarity-first operations lens for a practical look at developing leaders who can actually run the floor.

You've got your pointe shoes and you've survived the first few months, but now you're in that weird in-between phase: still clutching the barre but dreaming of center, wondering if what you're feeling is normal or if you should be further along by now. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. I'm back with Julie of Broche Ballet for part two of our three-part series on the adult pointe journey, and this episode digs into the messy middle: what those first few months in pointe shoes actually feel like, how to finally let go of the barre, and how to tell if a problem is your strength or your shoes. I also ask Julie how to know when a pair of pointe shoes is really dead, why she's an advocate for a dedicated pointe barre, and what "banana feet" versus "biscuit feet" means for getting over the box.If you've been feeling discouraged by lack of progress in pointe journey, you're not alone! But there is a way through it.... Ready to push past the plateau?

Most people are far more fluent in the language of what they do not want than in the language of what they do. They do not want to be broke, tired, stuck, overextended, or overlooked. But ask them what they specifically, vividly, deeply want instead and the answer gets quieter and more vague.  As if the wanting itself is less familiar territory than the not-wanting.This episode identifies that pattern, examines what it is costing the listener across every major domain of their life, and walks them through a set of concrete, practical steps for making the shift from deficit thinking to desire thinking. Not through toxic positivity or denial of difficulty, but through the deliberate, practiced redirection of mental focus from what is unwanted to what is deeply desired. The mindshift that follows changes not just outlook and perspective, but decisions, habits, and results.Episode Reflection Questions: On Your Work and VisionWhat does your business look like when it is fully expressed, not the absence of struggle, but the presence of everything you are building toward? Describe it with enough specificity that it produces a felt sense of something real.On Your Health and VitalityWhat does your physical life look like when it is fully alive? Not the weight you want to lose the energy, strength, and vitality you are investing in building.On Your RelationshipsWhat does your most important relationship look like when it is fully alive when both of you are navigating from desire rather than deficit?On Your IdentityWho are you becoming? Name three qualities of the person you are building yourself into, and identify one behavior you could practice today that belongs to that person.

For a long time, I didn't have language for what was missing in my life. I had everything I thought I needed. Good friends, a loving relationship, a career that looked successful from the outside. And yet something felt hollow. Looking back, I'd describe what I lacked as self-leadership. Not the kind that means working harder or being more disciplined. The inner kind. In this episode, I share six qualities I've come to see as foundational, not as a checklist to work through, but as signposts to what might be quietly missing. We cover emotional awareness, structure, the shift from victim to creator, the power of choice, purpose, and knowing how to ask for support. This episode is for anyone who feels like they're going through the motions. You're not broken. You may just need to come home to yourself.

This episode is for you if you ever feel stuck, off track, or like your brain is running the show - and not in a good way.The other day, a client told me that the questions with the fewest words are always the most powerful ones. So I sat down and wrote out the questions I ask clients over and over again... the ones that create real change, real movement, and real progress. Turns out, not a single one of them is longer than three words (who knew?!).Today I'm sharing all six:What's working? (The one I lead with every single time, and yes, there's a reason for that)Is it true? (The assumption-challenger your brain really doesn't want to hear)What's the evidence? (Because your emotional brain and your data are often telling very different stories)Does it matter? (The fastest way to cut your to-do list in half)Why not? (The question I should have tattooed on my forehead)Now what? (The one I'm asking a lot of clients right now as we head into the second half of the year)These are post-it note questions. They're simple on purpose. And at least one of them is exactly what you need right now.Join the Uncomplicating Business Lab Community: https://www.torpeycoaching.com/thelab(Summer bonuses available through the end of June!)Grab your free masterclass here: https://torpeycoaching.kit.com/freemasterclass

You may not be stuck because you're failing.You may be stuck because the cycle became comfortable.In our conversation with Frankie Capparelli, author of Stuckness: Within the Stronghold, we unpacked how people unknowingly fall into repeating patterns that limit growth, behavior, and opportunity.Some signs of stuckness: You're working hard but not progressing You've lost urgency and momentum Predictability feels safer than growth Your current identity is limiting your future possibilities Frankie shared a critical insight:⚠️ Familiarity is not the same as safety.⚠️ Comfort is not the same as progress.The path forward isn't “try harder.”It starts with:✔️ Awareness✔️ Responsibility✔️ Breaking the cycle intentionallyGrowth begins the moment you stop normalizing what's holding you back.Provided by Living Water Consulting

You are not stuck. Your workouts are just random. Let's get real. I see so many women working out constantly. Different classes, different programs, different styles, always moving. And if that's for fun, freaking amazing. But if you're frustrated with your body… If you feel like you're putting an effort, but not seeing results… This is the reason why. Random workouts don't create change. Structure does. In this episode we break down why staying active isn't the same as progressing, why your body isn't changing despite your effort, why actually Creating visible lasting results is going to take something different, and why consistency without a system keeps you stuck. Because your body doesn't respond to chaos, access everything here at www.tonen10.com or the fitness planner even helps at www.glitteru.com/boom

What if the way you speak to yourself is quietly shaping how happy you feel every single day?In this episode of Raising Wild Hearts, Ryann Watkin sits down with TEDx speaker, high-performance coach, and bestselling author of Audacious Joy, Nicole Kernohan, to explore how language, mindset, and daily habits influence happiness, emotional wellbeing, and personal growth.After a multiple sclerosis diagnosis left her partially paralyzed, Nicole began studying performance psychology, positive psychology, and the mind-body connection. Through years of intentional practice, she rebuilt her health and now helps entrepreneurs, parents, and leaders break through limiting beliefs and create more fulfillment, resilience, and joy in their lives.In this conversation, Nicole introduces a powerful tool called Progressive Affirmations™ — a practical and realistic approach to shifting negative thought patterns without forcing fake positivity. Instead of jumping from self-doubt to confidence overnight, this method helps you gradually rewire your brain, build new neural pathways, and create lasting mindset change.Together, Ryann and Nicole explore how your thoughts influence your feelings, how your feelings shape your actions, and how small shifts in language can create meaningful change in both your inner world and your everyday life.If you've ever struggled with overthinking, self-doubt, negative thought spirals, or feeling stuck despite doing all the “right things,” this episode offers simple, actionable tools to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.✨ In this episode, we cover:• how to be happier using simple language shifts• why negative thought spirals happen and how to stop them• the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions• how Progressive Affirmations™ help rewire the brain• why forcing positive thinking doesn't work (and what to do instead)• the science behind neural pathways and mindset change• how gratitude practices can improve emotional wellbeing• why high achievers still feel stuck or unfulfilled• how your words shape your beliefs, confidence, and results• practical daily habits for happiness at home and at work• how to shift from overwhelm to calm in real-time• the difference between happiness and deeper joy• how to identify limiting beliefs and outdated thought patterns

How much do I need to live up to that and take that into account vs. just being me and letting people think what they will think? 32:16 There have been things I've been wanting to spend money on in terms of my physical appearance, but I hold myself back from it and feel myself going into scarcity when I hold myself back from it, so I'm wondering how to shift that block. 37:16 I've just gotten this job and I was so looking forward to my first paycheck, but now that the money is almost coming in, these other thoughts are coming up like, “Oh no, I can't do that because I should put it here or there”, or “You have to think practically now that you're getting that money”, and I'm like -but I had so much joy and now that joy is… 49:14 I've been dealing with self-deprecation, (self-sacrifice, etc.) in relationships and there's been a tension between that and choosing towards freedom in relationships that I've gone back and forth with for years. Is there anything you'd like to say on that? 1:03:58 Xorbítal's closing remarks. 1:09:00 Outro conversation *****Mentioned this episode Get Unstuck | Energy Healing Session https://youtu.be/UHulSz5tt48?si=MSCt2jKmK1GY6RvD As mentioned at the end of the episode, if you're interested in booking a channeled session with Kat, you can currently email kat@brandonhbloom.com to set up one up with her. *****More by Brandon Websitehttps://www.brandonhbloom.comFree Newsletterhttps://www.brandonhbloom.com/newsletter-sign-upMembership (More channeling and energy healing.)https://www.brandonhbloom.com/the-let-s-go-higher-membershipYoutubehttps://youtube.com/@channelingsource?si=EjiXaItebGhT8GN1Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@channellingsource?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc ***** Legal Disclaimerhttps://www.brandonhbloom.com/legal-disclaimer

In this episode of Get Unstuck, we are breaking down one of the most freeing — and uncomfortable — truths in relationships, wellness, and life: You do not control other people. Not your partner. Not your family. Not your friends. Not your community. Not your outcomes. And the moment you stop trying to manage how other people think, respond, or behave… is the moment your nervous system finally starts to settle and your energy comes back to you. In this conversation, we explore why over-explaining, over-giving, and over-functioning keeps you stuck in cycles of stress and emotional exhaustion. We talk about what it actually costs you to constantly try to get people to understand your perspective, and why personalizing other people's behavior pulls you further away from yourself. You'll learn how to: stop over-functioning in relationships release the need to control outcomes stop personalizing other people's behavior regulate your emotional responses faster return to yourself instead of spiraling outward And how this pattern doesn't just show up in relationships — it shows up everywhere. In your body. In your habits. In your food choices. In your fitness consistency. In your ability to stay aligned with yourself. This is a nervous system and identity pattern — not just a mindset issue. And this is exactly where BOOM comes in. BOOM is a 300+ page identity and behavior system designed to help you interrupt these patterns at the root so you can stop abandoning yourself in real time and start moving differently in your life.

Why do we fear the wrong things? We worry about plane crashes but not car rides, strangers but not algorithms, sharks but not sugar. In The Fear Knot: How Science, History, and Culture Shape Our Fears – and How to Get Unstuck, journalism professor Ruth DeFoster and neuroscientist Natashia Swalve explore why our brains evolved to fear what once kept us alive — but now often misleads us. The result is a timely, eye-opening look at how to separate fact from fear in a world that profits from keeping us anxious. In the second half of the show, we hear from Ellen Vora, author of the 2022 book The Anatomy of Anxiety. This episode originally aired November 12, 2025

In this episode, Shane Parrish, author of Clear Thinking explains why your default behaviors are sabotaging you, and how to outsmart them. He explores how small, everyday decisions shape our lives more than major choices. Key insights include positioning yourself for success through preparation, creating personal rules to build positive habits, and using role models as a “personal board of directors.” Shane emphasizes that clear, conscious thinking in ordinary moments accumulates into extraordinary results, helping listeners make better decisions and live more intentionally.

Tony chats with Jennifer Doty, Speaker & Author Helping Leaders Get Unstuck about her career, transitions, the people who helped, her books, and so much more.Jennifer Doty: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-sierveld-doty/ and https://jenniferdoty.com/

That Dostoevsky has taught me anything, let alone about workout consistency is not something I expected to be saying as a health and fitness coach!But finishing Crime and Punishment on holiday turned out to have more in common with getting in shape after 40 than I could have imagined.

Many of us reach a point where we feel stuck—whether it's debating where to go after retirement or just feeling directionless in our current professional or personal roles. Our guest, Russell Anderson, knows this feeling well. After years of creating wealth strategies as a financial planner in Southern Florida, his life was unexpectedly interrupted by a moment of physical stiffness that sparked a "momentous revolution" in his personal and professional worlds. Discover how Russell went from being fearful of change and feeling his life was "over" to embracing new chapters—including writing a book and redefining his career to prioritize meaningfulness. Learn his secret sauce for moving past fear, making powerful choices, and finally getting unstuck.

Gustavo Razzetti: Forward Talk Gustavo Razzetti is a culture change instigator, speaker, and CEO of Fearless Culture, a culture design consultancy. He helps leaders build teams that talk about what matters—even when it's uncomfortable–through his books and tools, including the Culture Design Canvas. He is the author of Forward Talk: The Bold New Method for Getting Teams Unstuck (Amazon, Bookshop)*. The beauty of a team is that we can get so much more done with collaboration. It also means that sometimes we surrender our responsibility to others. In this conversation, Gustavo and I explore what to do when a team gets stuck. Key Points Conversations are the foundation of collaboration. Without them, teams quickly build conversational debt. We don't stay silent because we're scared. Rather, we stay quiet because we surrender our responsibility to others. Many of us overestimate our courage. We believe that we'll say something, but studies show that often we do not. Forward Talk accomplishes two things: (1) addresses the real issue and (2) focuses on the future. See information as an opportunity instead of an obstacle. Courage can begin with admitting what you don't know. Perspective is the choice to share your views instead of surrendering your judgment to social pressure. Responsibility is a commitment to understand the systemic issues instead of entering into blame.

Why can't I lose weight? If you're in your 40s or 50s, eating reasonably well, getting some exercise in, but the weight just won't shift, you're almost certainly making at least two or three of these six common mistakes.I'm Chris, a health and fitness coach who has worked with men and women in midlife for 16 years, and these are the habits I see repeatedly that stop you losing weight after 40.

Are you climbing the right mountain, or just getting really good at the wrong one? Bradley sits down with Judah Taub — Israeli intelligence veteran, cybersecurity investor, and author of How to Move Up When the Only Way is Down — who borrows a concept from machine learning called the "local maximum" to explain why smart people and successful companies so often underperform their potential. Plus, how AI is affecting cybersecurity, why mandatory military service in Israel produces better founders than any business school, and whether a diverse, equal society can ever agree on the collective good.This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack.

Do you feel off… but you can't explain why? Like you used to feel more on top of things— more peaceful, more consistent, more clear… and now you just feel stuck, scattered, or in a funk? Maybe nothing is “wrong”… but something just doesn't feel right. In this episode, we're talking about what it looks like to feel stuck again—even after growth—and how to actually move forward. Because here's the truth no one talks about: Growth isn't linear. You will have seasons where things feel easier… and seasons where things feel harder again. That doesn't mean you've failed. It doesn't mean you've lost progress. It means you're human—and you're in a new season. In this episode, I walk you through some of the most common reasons you might feel stuck—and simple, practical ways to get out of it without overwhelm. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

What if procrastination isn't about laziness… but a disconnect between who you want to be and what you actually do? So many of us carry goals we care deeply about: habits we want to build, changes we long to make, ways we want to grow. And yet, we find ourselves stuck in the same patterns, circling the same resistance, wondering why it's so hard to follow through. In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook and goals expert and New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff explore what's really happening beneath procrastination and how to finally begin moving forward. Because procrastination isn't a character flaw. It's a gap. A gap between your intentions and your actions. And over time, that gap can quietly erode something deeper: your trust in yourself. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed by your goals, or caught in cycles of starting and stopping… this conversation will help you understand why and what to do next. You'll explore: Why procrastination isn't about laziness and what's actually driving it The hidden impact of broken self-trust (and how to begin rebuilding it) How your “soundtracks” (repetitive thoughts) shape your actions and results The real reason discipline alone doesn't work and what does The 4 key places people get stuck in the growth process (and how to move forward) This conversation offers a practical, compassionate path forward, helping you close the gap between who you want to be and how you're actually living, one small step at a time.

In this episode, Rachel reframes the feeling of being “stuck” as a powerful crossroads rather than a failure, arguing that it often comes from overwhelm and misalignment, especially when people overwork or chase too many directions at once. She encourages listeners to see this season as a privilege that allows for self-reflection and growth rather than survival. She emphasizes that clarity doesn't come from adding more, but from simplifying and reconnecting with one's intuition through intentional quiet time, such as brief daily meditation, where individuals can ask for guidance and trust the subtle, nonverbal responses that arise. By learning to listen to this inner voice and act on small next steps, she suggests that people can move forward with greater purpose, peace, and confidence, ultimately transforming uncertainty into a meaningful path forward.

This episode breaks down how first-time buyers can use retirement funds and adjust savings strategies to make a home purchase possible in a high-cost market.Many first-time buyers feel like they've done everything right—saving, budgeting, and contributing to retirement—yet still feel priced out of the market. This episode continues the real-world example by exploring two advanced strategies: using a 401(k) for a down payment and adjusting ongoing savings contributions.Instead of treating retirement savings as off-limits, this episode explains when and how those funds might be used as part of a larger homebuying strategy. It also shows how shifting contributions, even temporarily, can impact buying power and timing. The focus is not on quick decisions, but on understanding the trade-offs and long-term effects. This example reinforces that every financial move must be evaluated within a personalized plan, where short-term sacrifices and long-term goals are carefully balanced to create a path forward.HighlightsShould you use your 401(k) to help fund your first home purchase?What are the real trade-offs between retirement savings and buying sooner?How can adjusting your savings contributions change your buying timeline?When does it make sense to shift your financial strategy to reach homeownership?Referenced Episodes 426 – Lowering Your Down Payment – Financially Prepare to Buy Your First Home – Pt. 7440 – First Time Homebuyer Playbook (Part 1): Rent Replacement Strategy443 – First Time Homebuyer FAQ: What Can I Actually Afford in 2026?457 – First Time Homebuyers: Buy or Wait in 2026?
