In this episode, I explore the nuanced experience of feeling stuck—not as a lack of direction, but as a signal from our inner wisdom. Together, we examine how fear often masquerades as confusion, and how embracing discomfort can lead us to deeper self-trust and clarity.

If you’ve been overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or spiraling instead of moving forward, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn how to:

Tell the difference between confusion and fear (yes, there’s a real psychological reason you feel paralyzed)

Stop mistaking spiraling for problem-solving

Understand the neuroscience behind why your brain clings to “what if” instead of clarity

Use a 10-second reset to reconnect with your gut when you feel overwhelmed

Start building self-trust with small, brave actions

Move even when you're scared (without needing absolute certainty first)

This episode is packed with the insights and real-life strategies you need to stop doubting your decisions and start trusting the wisdom you already have inside you.
