Have you ever felt like life is a never-ending maze—so many turns, so many paths, but none of them leading anywhere? You’re trying all the things, yet nothing seems to really be working. Sound familiar? Well, today we’re talking about what it means to shift from the maze mentality to the lighthouse perspective—where you stop running in circles and start seeing the bigger picture. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're playing by someone else’s rules, this episode is for you! Let’s DO this!

Key Takeaways:
  • Feeling stuck doesn’t always mean you’re doing nothing—it often means you’re doing too much without clear direction.
  • The real reason we stay stuck? Waiting for absolute clarity before taking action.
  • Overthinking, ignoring our intuition, and relying on others’ opinions keep us from trusting ourselves.
  • The maze mentality keeps you reactive, while the lighthouse perspective gives you clarity.
  • The Three C’s of Clarity:
    1. Curiosity – Get honest about why you feel stuck.
    2. Courage – Acknowledge what you truly want (even if it scares you).
    3. Commitment – Take one small step forward—even before you feel ready.
      4. The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:

      ➡️ The moment you realize that waiting for clarity might be the very thing keeping you from moving forward. If you've been feeling like you need permission to take the next step, this is it!

      Are you in or are you out?

      This week, I challenge you to ask yourself: Where in my life am I waiting for permission or absolute clarity before taking action? Write down one step you can take TODAY—even if you don’t feel 100% ready.

      Journal Prompt for Reflection:

      "What is my intuition telling me that I’ve been ignoring?"
