Changes and transitions can feel destabilizing. Today's post offers a way to orient yourself and get a better sense of what's next.

Getting stuck. Feeling unable to make a decision. Continuing to list pros and cons. Being unsure about what to do next and returning again and again to the familiar (even when it stinks). We call get stuck. How do you get out of it?

We can list our flaws in a heartbeat, but when someone asks about our strengths, we suddenly become awkwardly modest. Let’s stop that today. This is a time to clearly understand and own your strengths with confidence and clarity.

Ever get that feeling? You know the one—a little bit of FOMO combined with uncertainty about the future and maybe some frustration sprinkled on top? It’s usually kicked off when you see a post about layoffs, or someone’s promotion or fabulous new job.You wonder….should I be looking? Should I plan to leave? When that itch for change starts, it's easy to get stuck between “Maybe I should...” and “But what if...?” Let's talk about how to navigate this adventure without totally freaking out.

Ever notice how we spend so much time asking everyone else what we should do, while that quiet voice inside us already knows the answer? Let’s talk about why trusting yourself is like rediscovering a superpower you forgot you had.

Being a beginner is not as easy as it would seem. How do we keep ourselves grounded when we're learning something new?

How long do you suffer until you ask for help? No matter the moment, if you're struggling look around for those who can be of help. You can connect with someone who brings a new perspective, wisdom, a listening ear and support. And YOU can be all those things for another person.

Stop doom looping and make space for something new. Interrupt your old thought patterns and find new ways forward.
