Ep. 298: When You're Stuck: Serve

Are you feeling stuck? Do you find yourself in a place where you just feel held in place by something… unable to move forward, struggling to get beyond it? 

 

For you, maybe that thing keeping you stuck is an obvious circumstance. An illness or diagnosis, the end of a relationship, loss of finances or lack of business growth… maybe for you, it’s finding yourself in a season of life you never imagined, and feeling completely helpless as to HOW to get beyond it. It’s a privilege to get to see behind the scenes of a lot of lives and businesses, it’s an honor that I take seriously, and these insights have led to observing a number of patterns. I know that right now, some of you are going through the toughest season in your life: maybe it’s your marriage, parenting, health, or business. And others of you might find yourself stuck in this somewhat foggy, spinning on the hamster wheel, groundhog day kind of a place… maybe you can’t yet fully articulate the what or the why that has you feeling so stuck, but deep down, you feel it. You know it’s there, tugging on you.

Being in that place of feeling stuck can be all-consuming. It’s the first place our mind goes to when we wake up and the last thing we think of while lying in bed at night. 

 

Whether you feel stuck making a decision, navigating a relationship, initiating a conversation you know you’re avoiding, stuck in making the next move toward growing your business, advocating for your health or wellness or even stuck in your faith and feel that repeated prayers seem to be answered with silence, this episode is for you. Because I’ve found that whatever STUCK looks or feels like, there is one thing we can do: SERVE. More specifically, serve PEOPLE.
