Ep 108 Why You Feel Stuck Even When You Want Change

In this episode of The ARTwork of YOU, host Lori Gouhin digs into one of the most frustrating human experiences: wanting change with your whole heart but still feeling completely stuck. Even when you’re inspired, motivated, or certain you’re ready for a shift, something inside you quietly resists and Lori explains exactly why.

Drawing from real-life patterns,psychology, and the emotional space between who you are now and who you want to become, Lori breaks down why wanting feels exciting and safe while choosing requires a deeper level of responsibility and self-honesty. She shares why your mind clings to possibility instead of action, how wanting can feel productive even when nothing is actually changing, and why choosing creates resistance, discomfort, and ultimately momentum.

If you keep circling the same idea, dream, or goal without seeing real movement, this episode will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and what small shifts can finally move you forward.

In this episode, Lori shares:

• Why wanting change feels comfortable while choosing feels confronting 

• The subtle mindset trap that keeps you stuck in “thinking about it” mode

• How identity plays a major role in whether you take action or stay where you are

• Signs you’ve been in wanting mode without realizing it

• What shifts instantly when you truly choose something

• Simple steps to move from wanting to choosing with confidence

• How small, aligned commitments create clarity and momentum

This conversation is a powerful reminder that staying stuck is not a sign of failure—it’s a sign that you’re standing in the space between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. And with one intentional choice, everything begins to shift.
