You’ve prayed. Fasted. Journaled. Talked it through with your therapist, your wise counsel, even the prophet. So why are you still stuck? This episode is for the high-functioning, self-aware woman who already has clarity—but hasn’t made the move. And spoiler: it’s not confusion. It’s avoidance. The kind that hides behind phrases like “I’m just using wisdom” or “I’m waiting on peace.”

In this episode, Dr. Sharla unpacks why clarity often triggers internal resistance, not peace—and how your nervous system is doing its job trying to keep you “safe” by resisting obedience. You’ll learn how to recognize the freeze response for what it is: your brain protecting the status quo, not your future.

We’re talking through the emotional, spiritual, and psychological cost of moving forward when God gives you direction—and why avoidance can look a lot like maturity on the outside. You’ll walk away with three biblical, clinically-sound strategies to finally break the cycle: Decision. Disruption. Disclosure.

If you’ve been asking, “How do I stop feeling stuck when I already know what to do?”—this is the episode that meets you where you are and calls you forward. You don’t need more strategy. You need to move. And the minute you do, you’re not stuck—you’ve got momentum.
