Podcasts about getting unstuck

Why do some problems yield to effort while others only tighten into knots? In The Knot: Problems Can Be Solved, Seth Godin reveals the invisible assumptions, borrowed scorecards, and sunk costs that keep us stuck. Meanwhile, Amy E. Herman's Fixed: How to Perfect the Fine Art of Problem Solving turns the artist's process into a practical toolkit: embrace the unfamiliar, ask why, look carefully, and know when to stop tinkering. Together, these books suggest that solving a stubborn problem isn't always about pushing harder. Sometimes it starts with seeing more clearly—and deciding which baggage you can finally put down.

Many social change organizations struggle to bridge the gap between the values displayed on their office walls and the actual practices in their daily operations. Achieving true values alignment requires navigating deep humanity, conflict, and the inevitable shame that arises during transitional periods. In this episode, host Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Genevieve Smith, an organizational effectiveness consultant and founder of GV Advisory. Genevieve shares her unique approach as a "professional bummer" who facilitates difficult but necessary conversations around power sharing, organizational grief, and leadership transitions. She explains how drawing inspiration from preschool classrooms and using tools like the community garden metaphor can help teams get unstuck, build trust, and move from panic to practical solutions.

Drop us a message! We'd love to hear from you.Bad design gets noticed instantly. Good design fades into the background.  In this episode, host Matt Pierce is joined by Melissa Milloway (Mel). With over 15 years' experience in Instructional Design, Mel now uses her expertise to build teams that design learning for tech. She talks about how heavily visual choices influence what a learner takes away from an experience. Mel breaks down how she decides what earns a place on the screen, the small details that shape a learners' focus, and how skill cannot be built on theory alone.  She also explains how she uses AI to speed up production without losing realism and previews a project that she is currently working on for the upcoming DevLearn Conference.  Learning points from the episode include:  Every visual choice should be intentional. If you can't explain why something's on the screen, Mel says it probably shouldn't be there. Spacing isn't just aesthetic. Mel points to an existing UX concept called the ‘BFFs of spacing', which explains how visual elements placed close together read as related, while elements placed further apart read as unrelated. This is often the case whether you intend it to be or not. Realistic practice, like Mel's 911 dispatcher training scenario, works because it closely mirrors the pressure and ambiguity of the real situation, so the actual moment isn't a surprise when it happens. Important links and mentions: Connect with Melissa Milloway on LinkedInMel's upcoming book, "Getting Unstuck in Learning Design" (available for pre-order, out February)

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Empower Hour with Lady J! Season 6 begins with a topic I know a little too well: analysis paralysis.The irony? I spent almost a year overthinking restarting this very podcast.First it was the background noise. Then life was falling apart. Then I needed to move. Then there was something else…and something else…and yada yada yada, blah blah blah. At some point, I had to recognize that the circumstances kept changing, but I was still standing in the same place.In this episode, I get honest about my own tendency to overanalyze and the fear, childhood experiences, self-doubt, and “what ifs” that can keep even strong, capable leaders stuck.We talk about:How overthinking can disguise itself as preparationWhy fear of failure and fear of judgment keep us from taking actionThe difference between failure, redirection, and misalignmentWhy some of the things I once called failures were actually preparationThe importance of accountability and self-awarenessHow our past experiences can influence the decisions we make todayReframing “What if it doesn't work?” into “What if it does?”Choosing faith over allowing fear to make our decisionsWhy taking one imperfect step can create more impact than endlessly analyzing every possible outcomeI also share lessons from my journey as an athlete, coach, entrepreneur, author, and leader, along with reflections from my book, Alone: A Story of Finding Self.You cannot control every outcome. You cannot guarantee that everyone will understand you, support you, buy from you, listen to you, or believe in what you are building.But you can decide whether fear gets to keep you from starting.So here is the question I want you to sit with:What is the one thing you have been putting off because you are afraid of what might happen?And then ask yourself something different:What if it works?If this episode resonates with you, follow Empower Hour with Lady J so you don't miss Season 6, and share this episode with someone who may be overthinking their next step.It is time to stop waiting until everything makes sense.Take the first bold step.This track was made by my daughter, Jasmine.

You will get stuck again. Not maybe, guaranteed. The final episode of the Getting Unstuck series is about what to do when it happens, because coming back is the skill: the observer and the giver of meaning, structure as your friend, and the four step comeback.

John Bunn started shooting weddings in 2007 to dig his way out of $400k of student loan debt, and 600+ weddings later he's one of the most connected educators in the industry, the guy who's quietly worked with more photographers than almost anyone alive. In this episode we get into the heart behind that: why he's built everything on relationships over time instead of chasing influencer status, and the framework he uses to help creatives get unstuck. John's whole philosophy comes down to three things you have to be good at: your work, your brand, and your network. Most people obsess over the work and between year 18 and 19 they're getting maybe half a percent better — while their brand and network sit neglected. John breaks down why all three have to move together, and how leaning into brand and network is what actually propels you out of the middle market.The part that'll stick with a lot of you: the trifecta. Serving couples you genuinely love, getting paid what you deserve, and creating work that feeds your soul. Most photographers believe they have to give one up. John makes the case that you can have all three — and walks through exactly how to define where you're headed, dissect your best and worst weddings for their real attributes, and steadily feed the top 20–30% of the work you actually want.We also get John's origin story as a lifelong "gatherer" who never wanted anyone to feel alone in a room, how a grieving family asking for footage of a groom who'd passed changed how he saw the work, and how he went from video-only to building a six-figure photo business in under two years by practicing exactly what he preaches.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNThe Work, Brand, Network framework and why focusing on just one keeps you stuckHow to get "unstuck from the middle market" without chasing trendsWhy you can serve couples you love, get paid well, AND make soul-feeding workHow to define your destination and reverse-engineer your dream weddingsThe exercise of dissecting your best and worst weddings to find your ideal clientWhy relationships and network beat influence and follower countsHow to emulate the artists you admire, then elevate into your own styleWhether you shoot photo, video, or both, John will leave you thinking less about the algorithm and more about the life and business you actually want to build.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThe Shifting Focus Experience — John's two-day, photographer-focused workshop in Tulsa (Oct 27–28), with keynotes, breakout sessions, photo walks, and a full styled wedding shoot.

The final part of my Recovery Q&A series is for anyone who knows what recovery asks of them… but is finding it hard to keep going.We're talking about the less exciting, more frustrating stages of recovery. When the initial motivation wears off, you're doing “better” on paper, but you still don't feel free.In this episode, I cover the honeymoon phase of recovery, getting stuck in quasi recovery, navigating life after hospital treatment, the daily grind of choosing recovery, difficult anniversary dates, and coping with heat and changes in movement.I'm also giving you a personal update on where I'm at now, what recovery looks like for me years later, and why difficult thoughts don't have to mean you're going backwards.If you feel like you've been recovering forever, you've lost motivation, or you're wondering “Is this really as far as I'm going to get?”, this episode is for you. Let me know your thoughts!

In our home we call it the 'sh' word, because should is a word we like to stay away from. It creates shame and annoyance from unmet expectations and it makes us incredibly judgmental of the person we are 'shoulding', including ourselves. 'Should' doesn't inspire, it doesn't love, it isn't kind, and it doesn't move us forward to our next best version. Learning to extract this word from your thinking and speaking will make a huge difference in how you think and feel about yourself and others.

"Behind every craving for alcohol is some unmet need. Alcohol is like a sticking plaster." — Kate BeeThere's a kind of struggling with alcohol that never makes it into the movies. No crash, no rock bottom — just years of feeling like something's a little off every time you reach for a glass of wine.Kate Bee knows that feeling well. She spent her twenties and most of her adult life before thirty in what she calls the gray area, before finally stopping — for good — thirteen years ago. Since then, she's built The Sober School and helped more than 4,000 women rethink their relationship with alcohol without shame or a lifelong label. Kate and I talk about mommy wine culture, the 100-day mindset shift that finally worked for her, and the confidence that showed up once she stopped numbing it.If you've ever wondered whether you need permission to question your relationship with alcohol, this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.

In this solo episode, I wanted to make a couple of important announcements and get real about why most real estate investors never actually do a deal. Starting now, we're pivoting the Smart Real Estate Coach podcast to twice a month: the first Wednesday will be a solo cast from me, and the third Wednesday will feature someone from our Smart Real Estate Coach family sharing their own success story, many of whom started with zero experience. I get honest about my own story here too, including hitting a real low point between 2008 and 2012, going from an oceanfront home to a one-bedroom apartment in my mid-40s, starting over completely. What changed things wasn't the market, it was me finally admitting I was the problem, which also meant I was the solution. I break down why most investors don't fail from lack of knowledge, they fail because they never actually get in the game with a real, structured plan. I also announce the rebrand of what used to be our In The Trenches Bootcamp, now called Deal Lab, a hands-on, in-person experience where you're calling real leads, structuring real offers on a whiteboard, and walking away with real metrics and a plan, not just concepts. I walk through the five step formula I use with every student: get honest about where you are, decide where you want to go, identify what's really blocking you, build a massive action plan with help, and track it relentlessly. Finally, I announce this year's 3 Paydays Live event, September 27th through 29th, which is going back to our roots this year with no outside speakers, just our family team and coaches who are doing deals in the trenches every single week. If you've been stuck studying instead of doing, or waiting for permission you're never going to get, this episode is the direct nudge to finally get in the game.   Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:23  Introducing new announcements and updates to the show 02:13  The podcast's new format: twice monthly, solo casts and family member success stories 03:16  Why now is the biggest opportunity Chris has seen in 35 years in the business 04:13  The real reason most investors fail: never getting in the game with a real plan 05:08  Why staying in one niche for 3 to 7 years matters more than chasing shiny objects 06:06  Introducing what used to be In The Trenches Bootcamp, now rebranded as Deal Lab 07:03  Chris's own rock bottom: a one bedroom apartment in his mid-40s after an oceanfront home 09:16  Why "drifting" without deciding is the most expensive thing an investor can do 09:38  The four year stretch, 2008 to 2012, that cost Chris millions in missed opportunity 10:00  A real member example: designing a one year, one million dollar three paydays plan 12:09  The advice from a past podcast guest: "just get in a different room" 13:36  How Deal Lab actually works across its two and three quarter days 15:13  The five step formula: honesty, direction, identifying blocks, action, and tracking 16:11  A member's real 90 day metrics, and why numbers turn a hobby into a business 18:07  Announcing 3 Paydays Live, September 27 to 29, with no outside speakers this year 19:24  What's new at this year's event: hands on workshops and extended Q&A   Quotables "If you're stuck, the good news is guess what, you're also the solution."

Today, I'm talking to Dr. Judith Swack who is a biochemist, immunologist, and originator of the Healing from the Body Level Up™ (HBLU™) methodology that helps people clear trauma rapidly by addressing the full system, including the body, nervous system, unconscious mind, and soul. Her work bridges science and practical application, offering a structured approach to resolving anxiety, PTSD, chronic illness, and behavioral patterns that do not respond to traditional therapy alone. Dr. Swack has spent decades researching how trauma imprints across multiple levels of the human system and developing targeted protocols to clear those patterns. Her approach integrates elements of psychology, neuroscience, NLP, applied kinesiology, and energy psychology methods to produce measurable shifts in a short period of time. She is the author of "Clear Trauma Now: The Powerful Solution for Getting Unstuck," and trains practitioners internationally, helping expand access to faster and more effective trauma resolution. Known for making complex concepts accessible, she helps audiences understand why trauma persists and what it takes to fully resolve it. In this episode, Dr Judith talks about how incredible work and gives us valuable insights into trauma healing, sharing personal experience and practical examples. I hope that you enjoy it.

Most productivity advice operates in one of two categories: you're missing a skill or system, or you have a mindset problem. Cat Mulvihill thinks both camps are right — and both are incomplete. There's a third category that almost nobody is talking about, and she argues it's the one most likely to be the actual culprit when you're stuck. My guest this week is Cat Mulvihill, a speaker, trainer, accountability coach, and licensed Immunity to Change facilitator who has been leading workshops for more than 20 years. After being formally diagnosed with ADHD in 2024, she developed the Momentum Formula — a framework separating the reasons we fail to follow through into three distinct categories: logical, biological, and psychological. Cat is a longtime Lab member and led the second-highest-rated session at this year's Lab Offline event in Boise. In this episode, we talk about: The three roadblocks to follow-through — and why the biological one is the category almost everyone overlooks How to diagnose which roadblock is actually keeping you stuck, and why the order you check them matters The “dreaded identity” — the hidden, subconscious version of yourself you're afraid of becoming — and how it quietly kills follow-through Why knowing your tendency from Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies framework changes which accountability strategies actually work for you By the end of this episode, you will have a concrete diagnostic framework for understanding why you're not doing the things you know you should be doing — and what to try first.

Welcome to The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach and creator of Physical Productivity. I help enterprise sellers and high performers stop fighting their wiring, clean up mindset trash, and build work systems that actually match how they're built, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Physical Productivity is built on a simple idea: your body is part of your productivity system. Your energy, nervous system, environment, and natural wiring all affect how easy or hard it feels to start. And if you've decided procrastination is just who you are, a flaw baked into your DNA, every stalled task starts to feel like evidence that something is wrong with you. It isn't. In this episode, I'm taking my Work Like You Workout® framework through the lens of procrastination. You'll find yourself in one of six energy types, and I'll give you the exact move to get unstuck for the type that's you. Because procrastination was never an identity. It's a situational response to overwhelm, and your body is usually giving you clues before your brain catches up.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am delighted to spotlight my friend, writer and devoted flyfisher, Jeff Ikler, host of Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity podcast as he talks with his guest Tom Reed, explorer, writer, landscape photographer, and wellness coach. Episode Notes excerpt: “The conversation explores how skill and serendipity intersect in creative work, the role of mindfulness in perceiving opportunities, and the thread of vitality that connects Reed's diverse pursuits. The discussion also turns to climate change and environmental degradation, with Reed emphasizing acceptance without apathy—a stance rooted in spiritual maturity and non-judgment. Ultimately, Reed's work invites us to reconsider why certain landscapes move us so profoundly—and what that says about our relationship to the natural world.” NOTE: Direct Episode Links to What Can Standing in Awe of the Natural World Teach Us? featuring Tom Reed are available below across multiple platforms, plus hundreds more Getting Unstuck episodes, and links to contact Tom Reed & Jeff Ikler.

There are times in our lives where we feel stuck, be it personally or professionally. It might be in our career. It might in a relationship. We're smart, so we try to think our way out of it. But when we're really stuck, thinking can turn into ruminating. And the more we think, the more we stay stuck. That's when the labeling kicks in. The voice in our head labels us lazy, or crazy, or just plain unmotivated. Today's guest, Britt Frank, is a licensed specialist clinical social worker (LSCSW). She's written the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find your Path Forward. Britt's the perfect person to teach us how thinking our way forward may not be the right tool for the job. In this interview, she explains how we get stuck and steps we can take to move through it.

In this transformational re-run, we dive into the power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line Therapy® and how you can rewire your neurology to move from feeling stuck… into aligned, empowered action

Have you ever felt like you're trying so hard to move forward... yet somehow you keep ending up in the same place?Whether it's your relationships, your career, your health, or an old emotional pattern, feeling stuck can be incredibly frustrating. And the harder you push, the deeper you sometimes seem to sink.Here's the surprising part:What if nothing is actually wrong with you?In this week's episode, I explain why getting stuck isn't a lack of willpower—it's often the result of how your brain is wired to keep you safe.Your brain was designed to detect danger, not happiness. And when that primitive survival system takes over, it can trap you in loops of rumination, fear, self-doubt, and overthinking without you even realizing it.Episode timestamps00:55 — Why so many different struggles have the same root02:13 — What it really means to feel "stuck"03:37 — Understanding how your brain works06:03 — Your brain is designed to find danger—not happiness09:58 — The role of your prefrontal cortex10:55 — What happens when your survival brain takes over13:40 — The difference between pain and suffering15:26 — The legacy we pass to the next generation16:50 — A simple exercise to identify where you're stuckOne of the biggest shifts in my own life came when I realized this:My thoughts weren't the problem.My feelings weren't the problem.Even my fears weren't the problem.The real suffering began when I believed every thought my survival brain offered me—and built my life around those stories.Once you understand that, you can begin stepping out of the quicksand instead of struggling deeper into it.I hope this episode helps you take that first step.---If this episode resonated with you and you'd like to go deeper, I'm putting together a live workshop on nervous system regulation in the next couple of weeks.In this workshop, I'll show you practical tools to help you calm your nervous system, break free from reactive patterns, and create more emotional resilience in your everyday life.You can join the waitlist here: https://dr-kavetha-sun.kit.com/8ea3ea0bf4I'd love to have you there!

This week, we talk about the satisfaction that comes with fulfilling every part of a Kickstarter campaign (4:00), one way to get unstuck when writing a story (9:00), coloring pages using a fresh style (14:10), spreading the word about your stories (24:15), working through art issues (32:30), and a plan to crank out a bunch of comic scripts (46:20).

If you or someone you love is navigating NVLD, you already know how exhausting it can be to keep trying the same things and getting the same results.The stuck feeling is real. The conflict cycles are real. The gap between knowing what needs to change and actually changing it is real.That is exactly what this workshop is designed to address.Reset: Getting Unstuck as a Family (Without More Pressure) is an in-person, one-day intensive experience in Boulder, Colorado, on July 16th, with an optional bonus mindfulness day on July 17th. It is small by design. It is warm, practical, and nothing like a clinical seminar. And it is one of the only experiences of its kind created specifically for the NVLD population.This is not individual coaching. There is no pressure to commit to anything beyond the two days. It is simply a chance to step out of your normal environment, get into a room with people who genuinely understand, and do something that actually moves the needle.Here is what you will walk away with:Clarity around the patterns that keep showing upAt least one concrete strategy you can use immediatelyA stronger sense of connection, whether you come with a family member or on your ownRenewed energy and momentum, without added pressureParents, young adults, or both are welcome. Some people are coming as a family. Others are parents coming solo to get a new perspective. Others are young adults attending on their own. All are equally welcome and will get real value from the experience.A few spots remain at $250 per person, which includes both the full workshop day and the optional bonus mindfulness day on July 17th. Early bird pricing has already sold out!If you have been waiting for the right time to do something different, this is it. Boulder in July, a small group of people who get it, and two days that could genuinely shift something for your family.Register here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfASW5X7rOusVaBgpzBIWEY8LhUpv2v2hSrNWTj2FgMs-hXaw/viewformIf you have questions, please let me know, and I can put you in contact with Christinia Cummins.

When you visit a doctor, you assume the diagnosis and treatment will be based entirely on your symptoms and medical history. But there is another factor that can quietly influence what happens in the exam room and the quality of the care you receive. And it has nothing to do with your health. https://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/26/1/13 Bacon may be one of the most beloved foods in America. People wrap it around other foods, crumble it onto salads, put it in desserts, and even flavor cocktails with it. What's especially interesting is that bacon's popularity has continued to grow despite years of warnings from health experts about its risks. So what is it about bacon that has captured the American imagination? Why has it become more than just a breakfast food and evolved into a cultural phenomenon? Mark Johnson, who teaches at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, traces bacon's unlikely rise from humble pork product to national obsession. He is author of American Bacon: The History of a Food Phenomenon (https://amzn.to/4odStxo). When you mix money with emotions, all kinds of things can go wrong – and often do. That's according to Jade Warshaw. She is a personal finance coach and co-host of The Ramsey Show with Dave Ramsey. She and her husband paid off more than $400,000 in debt and transformed their financial lives. Now she is on a mission to help people understand how money works, how your emotions impact what you do with your money and how to get back on track. Her latest book is What No One Tells You About Money: The Real Key to Getting Unstuck from Someone Who's Been There (https://amzn.to/4fMAGv9). Your brain is remarkably good at many things. Holding onto a growing list of errands, appointments, reminders, and unfinished tasks is NOT one of them. In fact, trying to keep everything in your head can increase stress and mental clutter. There is a simple, surprisingly powerful tool for clearing your mind and improving focus—and it requires nothing more sophisticated than a pen and paper. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/zeigarnik-effect Learn more about your ad choices.

In this captivating episode, join me for an insightful conversation with Nancy Colier, a fellow mom, psychotherapist, author, interfaith minister, and thought leader. We dive into the powerful influence of the narratives we tell ourselves and how they can keep us feeling stuck in life. Nancy shares valuable insights from her upcoming book, “Narratives: Let Go of the Stories That Keep You Stuck”. Together, we explore the essence of these underlying stories, why we often hold on to painful narratives despite evidence to the contrary, and how everyday experiences, from a simple diner encounter to recurring relationship patterns, illustrate the impact of these stories on our actions. You'll gain practical tools to recognize, challenge, and reframe these narratives to pave the way for greater freedom, authenticity, and deeper connections in your life.

A lot of us are tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. We're doing the things — the work, the list, the showing up — and still, something is pulling at us. A low hum of unfinished. For years, Robin Quinn Keehn thought that hum was a personal failing: not disciplined enough, not organized enough. It wasn't any of that. It was Open Loops. This is the backbone episode of the show — the one to send anyone who's new. Robin defines an Open Loop plainly (a commitment, promise, or agreement that's unfinished, incomplete, or outdated, quietly draining your time, energy, and peace), then walks through the three kinds almost all of us carry: Relational Loops with other people, Self-Loops — the promises we break to ourselves — and Unspoken Brokens, the things that needed to be said and never were. You'll hear why loops stay open (it's avoidance, not discipline), what they actually cost — especially what broken self-promises do to your confidence — and the three ways to close any loop: end it, evolve it, or recommit to it, on purpose. This is also where Robin introduces the free 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge, starting June 29. In this episode: What an Open Loop actually is — and why it stays quiet The three kinds: Relational Loops, Self-Loops, and Unspoken Brokens Why broken promises to yourself quietly erode your confidence Why open loops are an avoidance problem, not a discipline problem The real cost: time, energy, peace — and belief in yourself The three ways to close any loop: end it, evolve it, recommit to it An invitation to the free 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge (starts June 29) If this episode resonated with you, you might enjoy our free People Skillz community — a structured space to practice steadier, more intentional communication. We also created a short Communication Patterns Quiz to help you identify how you respond under pressure. You'll find both here.

Guest After 11 years at IBM, Brooke Erol left a "great job on paper" to pursue a more aligned, purpose-driven life. She founded Your Best Life Inc. to help professionals find meaning at work, and later Purposeful Business to support leaders in building people-centered organizations. She is the author of More Than A Paycheck and Create a Life You Love, and speaks globally on leadership and purposeful work. Summary In this conversation, career coach and author Brooke Erol explores the changing nature of work, fulfillment, and identity in an era shaped by burnout, layoffs, and artificial intelligence. Drawing from her own experience at IBM, she reflects on realizing early in her career that many people were "chasing the weekend" rather than finding meaning in their work. That realization eventually led her to write More Than a Paycheck, a guide designed to help individuals develop greater self-awareness and agency in their careers. Brooke argues that self-awareness is foundational to meaningful work, yet modern life leaves little room for reflection. She encourages people to intentionally create time to examine what energizes them, what no longer serves them, and which limiting beliefs may be shaping their choices. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes that traditional career formulas—go to college, get a corporate job, retire happily—are no longer reliable in today's unstable job market. The conversation also examines the disruptive impact of AI, especially on younger workers and recent graduates, while highlighting the growing value of trade and skilled labor careers. Brooke encourages people to remain adaptable, continuously learn new skills, and consider side projects or entrepreneurial paths alongside traditional employment. The discussion closes with reflections on retirement, purpose, and identity. Brooke and Jeff agree that fulfillment comes not from stopping work entirely, but from continuing to contribute, learn, connect, and pursue activities that make life meaningful. The Essential Point Brooke's central message is that people must take greater ownership of their careers and lives by developing self-awareness, questioning inherited assumptions about work, and intentionally pursuing work that aligns with who they are. She also stresses that fulfillment and purpose are not luxuries reserved for retirement—they are essential parts of a healthy, sustainable life at every stage.

Jay Bacrania returns to another session of "Coaching with Jay," this time focusing on common founder challenges. In this episode, Jay and Dave discuss feeling "stuck" — from stalled growth and constant business chaos to feeling trapped or bored even when things look good externally. Jay frames stuckness as both external (markets, leads, team, execution) and internal (feelings, body cues, and the "talk tracks" and stories in your head), arguing that mindset and narrative often shape outcomes. They discuss role clarity, delegation, and how leaders can outgrow their role as their companies scale. Jay shares a practical "dump and sort" approach — writing everything down, identifying a starting thread, building a simple story, and then ultimately planning to create momentum.

Why women leaders freeze when they know they're meant for more You're not lazy. You're not unmotivated. And you're definitely not broken. So why do so many capable, brilliant, purpose-driven women keep freezing when it comes to the thing they say they want most? In this deeply personal episode, Carina unpacks the invisible trauma responses that keep women stuck in busyness, overwhelm, perfectionism, and self-abandonment — even when they know they are here for more. From childhood conditioning… to inherited trauma… to the fear of visibility and leadership… this conversation goes beneath mindset and into the body. This episode is for the WOMAN who feels the ache for more, but keeps finding herself pulled away from her purpose, distracted by everyone else's needs, or frozen at the edge of her next level. And it's also a reminder: You were never meant to do this alone. In This Episode Why high-achieving WOMEN still sabotage the things they want most The hidden trauma response behind procrastination and "I have no time" Why your nervous system may see visibility and leadership as unsafe How inherited trauma impacts ambition, purpose, and self-expression The difference between desire and deep knowing Why purpose becomes stronger than fear The real reason WOMEN stay busy instead of fully expressed How sisterhood and support help heal the trauma body Why Carina believes WOMEN are urgently needed in leadership right now The transformational process behind MORE: 21 Days of Audacity Memorable Quotes "Purpose is the great elevator." "Higher than desire is knowing." "The trauma body is so powerful — the majority of our body is designed for survival." "We remember who the fuck we are." "I will not let you get to 85 years old and wonder where your life went." "You were given these dreams and this vision for a reason." "You're not asking for too much. Your soul is asking you to expand." Mentioned in This Episode ✨ MORE: 21 Days of Audacity A 21-day transformational experience for WOMEN ready to stop shrinking and start fully living.

What if the reason you feel stuck… isn't because something is wrong with you, but because different parts of you are pulling in different directions? We all know that feeling: one part of you wants to follow through, while another part resists. And often, one side takes over… leaving you with regret or confusion afterward. In this episode, Dr. Alison is joined by IFS therapist and best-selling author Jenna Riemersma to explore what's really happening beneath that inner conflict and how to respond differently. Because the goal isn't to fight those parts of you. It's to understand them. Together, they walk through Jenna's simple, practical framework that helps you move toward yourself with curiosity and compassion instead of shame or control. You'll explore: Why the parts of you that frustrate you most may be trying to help What keeps you stuck in the same inner battles again and again The surprising shift that can calm the conflict inside How to know when to share what's happening inside you—and when it's wiser to protect yourself What real relief can look like when you stop fighting yourself If you've ever felt stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-criticism, or reacting in ways you later regret, this conversation will help you understand why and what to do in the moment.

She got out, rebuilt from nothing, and now runs a movement helping others do the same.   Dr. Ruben West saw something in Brenda nobody else did and gave her a shot on stage before she even had her footing back. Dr. Toby Potter lost everything in 2008, rebuilt bigger, and now helps others break the chains their past put on them.   Together they break down why most people stay stuck, why behavior never changes without belief, and why the prison most people live in has nothing to do with bars and everything to do with their own mind.    Whether you're stuck, starting over, or just tired of playing small, this one's for you. The journey to becoming the better version of yourself starts here.

A conversation with celebrated author George Saunders about his new novel, Vigil, and what fiction can teach us about empathy, self-awareness, and mortality. George Saunders is the bestselling, award-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo, Tenth of December, and many other books. His new novel, Vigil, tells the story of a woman who died in 1976 and has spent the decades since comforting the dying—until she encounters a former oil executive responsible for early climate change denial. In this conversation, Dan and George talk about: Why George keeps writing about ghosts and the afterlife (hint: it's not just about mortality dread) The lavish empathy at the heart of Vigil—and whether we should extend that empathy even to people doing civilizational damage What George calls "warm metacognition"—the practice of dropping back out of your thought loops to examine what kind of goggles you're wearing How fiction can turn your mind into a "reconsideration machine" (and why that matters in real life) The difference between kindness and niceness George's relationship with death anxiety, which he's had since childhood and which has only intensified with age What George has learned about listening from teaching and hosting his Substack, Story Club Why the older he gets, the more important it is to stretch himself creatively His advice for dealing with stuckness (in writing and in life): curiosity over self-accusation George's new novel Vigil is out January 27th from Random House. Check out his Substack, Story Club, where he discusses classic short stories with an incredibly thoughtful community.   Related Episodes: George Saunders on "Holy Befuddlement" and How to Be Less of a "Turd"   Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel   To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris
