Why do so many high-achievers feel stuck even while working so hard to improve?
Today, on Mastering Momentum, Dr. Jan Newman continues her conversation with Dr. Hunnicutt, a licensed clinical psychologist at Momentum Psychology, about why even driven, action-oriented people can feel stuck—and what they can actually do about it. In Part 2 of this interview, Dr. Hunnicutt addresses the real obstacles behind stalled progress, including overconsumption of advice, vague goals, and emotional overload.
Together, they explore the three most common types of "stuckness," the psychological patterns behind them, and the practical tools that foster deep, lasting momentum. From values-driven clarity to flexible thinking and brain science basics, Dr. Hunnicutt continues to outline her core framework for creating meaningful, sustainable change. If you're someone who's always moving but not always moving forward, this episode is your roadmap to unstuck.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
