EP #46 | The Messy In-Between: How High-Achievers Get Stuck Between Knowing and Doing
Description
You’re not in crisis. You’re just circling.
That’s the truth for so many high-achievers who find themselves in the messy in-between—the quiet, confusing space between knowing something has to change and actually doing it.
In today’s episode, we’re naming what it really feels like to outgrow the version of yourself that built your current life. You’ll hear why clarity doesn’t come before the decision—it comes from it, and why staying in “thinking mode” can quietly break your heart.
You’ll Learn:
Why awareness without action keeps you looping in burnout
The hidden grief of outgrowing your high-achieving identity
How “movement” and “progress” aren’t the same thing
The one small daily practice that rebuilds trust with yourself
How to create clarity through motion—not waiting
