236. Breaking Free from Stuckness: Resistance, Clarity, and Personal Growth
Stuckness isn't a personality trait, it's a signal, and once you understand what it's protecting you from, things can start to shift. In this episode, Steph unpacks the complicated feelings that come with stuckness and why it's so often misread as "not working hard enough" or inability. She digs into the resistance and protection mechanisms that actually drive that stuck feeling, and challenges the common belief that pushing harder is the way through it. Instead, Steph explores how movement creates clarity, not the other way around, and why coaching can offer the perspective shifts needed to see a way forward. By the end, listeners are invited to reframe stuckness not as a permanent identity, but as a signal pointing toward growth.
