Description

In episode 88, we’re talking about what it actually takes to move forward when you’re feeling stuck, especially when you don’t have all the answers yet.

If you’ve been circling the same decisions, waiting for clarity to strike, or trying to map out the “perfect” next step, this episode is your reminder that clarity comes after action, not before. I’m walking you through how I coach clients through that in-between space where you know something isn’t right, but you’re not sure what comes next.


In this episode, I cover:

  • The real reason ambitious women stay stuck (and how to shift out of it)
  • Why overthinking won’t give you the clarity you’re craving
  • How one client went from confusion to aligned interviews without a 10-year plan
  • Practical steps you can take this week to start feeling momentum


If you’re good at what you do but it no longer excites you, or everything looks “right” on paper but feels off, this one’s for you.


Key Takeaways:

  • Clarity is created through action, not overplanning
  • You don’t need a perfect plan to begin making a change
  • Small, intentional steps are what create lasting momentum
