In this episode of The Mid-Career Makeover Show, host LaVonne James dives deep into the real reasons mid-career professionals feel stuck—and what it actually takes to get unstuck.

LaVonne unpacks the psychological and emotional underpinnings of career stagnation—from status quo bias to imposter syndrome—and walks listeners through five powerfully reflective questions designed to spark clarity and action. Whether you're battling burnout, overwhelmed with options, or shackled by “golden handcuffs,” this episode helps you pinpoint what kind of “stuck” you’re in—and how to take your first bold step toward reinvention.

This episode isn’t just motivational—it’s tactical. With LaVonne’s guidance, you’ll gain:

  • A breakdown of five psychological biases that sabotage progress
  • A step-by-step clarity exercise that reveals your hidden career desires
  • A personalized approach to identifying the type of stuck you’re facing
  • Practical actions you can take this week to regain momentum

💡 Key takeaway: You’re not broken—you’re in a season of discovery. And you have the power to edit your story as many times as you need.
