233 - How to Lead Yourself When You Feel Stuck: Self-Leadership That Starts from Within with James Robbins, Keynote Speaker, Leadership Expert, and Author of The Call to Climb

Ever feel like you’re stuck in the same patterns, unsure which way to go next? Wondering if there’s more to life than just pushing through? In this episode, we talk about finding direction in life, how to break old habits and why getting unstuck in life often begins with learning how to lead from within.

James Robbins is an International Keynote Leadership Speaker, founder, and author of The Call to Climb, a powerful book inviting you to lead your life with more intention, purpose, and inner clarity. He shares how tuning into your own “mountain”—that personal challenge or calling you're meant to face—can radically transform the way you live, lead, and serve others.

This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt stuck, restless, or like something deeper is calling you to rise. James gives practical tools for identifying what that mountain is for you, how to listen to your inner voice, and why small, intentional steps matter so much more than you think. He also shares the story behind the book and how his own journey helped shape his message.

We cover:

📌 Why many of us ignore the call until a breakdown forces the climb

📌 How to figure out what your “personal mountain” is

📌 A new perspective on success and redefining it from the inside out

📌 What self-leadership really looks like in a chaotic world

📌 Steps to start moving forward today, without needing the full roadmap
