Description

 

Today we’re digging into something every high performer hits at some point: that uncomfortable in-between phase where you're growing—but you're not quite there yet.

Whether you're stepping into a new role, expanding your business, or leading a team that’s outgrown its systems, this moment can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and even like a mistake. But it’s not. It’s growth. It’s temporary. And it’s survivable—with the right mindset and strategy.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through the most common challenges during these “stretch” periods, and I’ll share 7 tangible ways to navigate the discomfort, stay focused on your vision, and get through to the other side—stronger, smarter, and more aligned than ever.

You’ll learn:

  • Why these moments feel so destabilizing

  • What to watch out for (and what not to do)

  • 7 ways to keep your confidence and clarity through the chaos

If you’re in the thick of it right now, you’re not alone—and you’re not failing. Tune in and let’s talk about how to move through it.
