160. How to Stop Feeling STUCK (and trust your inner voice)

"What do you want, Sam?" I'll never forget staring at my therapist like a deer in headlights when she asked me that simple question. I had NO idea. After years of putting everyone else first, I'd completely lost touch with my own inner voice.

Is that you, too? You're not the only one who feels stuck between what you "should" do and what you actually want.

🎯 3 Game-Changing Takeaways:

  • Release the grip - Why your expectations and need for control are blocking your intuition (and how to let go)
  • Fear is information - What you're afraid to uncover is exactly what you need to explore
  • Trust the process - How to create space for guidance when your mind is spinning with decisions
  • 4 strategic journaling prompts - To help you get unstuck & trust your inner voice

Stop second-guessing every decision and start trusting yourself. Go from feeling paralyzed by choices to knowing what YOU actually want - not what everyone else expects from you.

How This Changes Everything:

Instead of lying awake replaying conversations or googling "how to know if I should quit my job," you'll have a clear internal compass. No more asking everyone else for advice. No more feeling guilty about your choices. Just confidence in YOUR voice.

Perfect for when you're questioning your relationship, feeling unfulfilled at work, or just need clarity on your next move.
