  • How to Get Unstuck

    As you mature, you sense the need to change and grow to accommodate who you have become. After spending years accommodating partners and children, putting your own needs on the backburner, you eventually reach a point when you know you need to take better care of yourself and stop self-sacrificing.

    These days, choosing yourself is a radical act of self-compassion, yet it is an essential task on your journey to self-actualization - being the person your soul designed you to be.

    Getting off the hamster wheel of life by taking a sabbatical can give you a new lease on life and help you connect with your passion and your true purpose in this lifetime.

    C.K Collins did just that! She walked the Camino de Santiago and found herself.
    In this episode she shares about her book: The Swipe Right Effect: The Power to get Unstuck and her exciting MOMENTUM program.

    One of the things I’ve discovered is that getting older often brings bigger questions. Who am I now? What do I really want? What needs to change? And how do I want to live this next chapter? Those questions are at the heart of my work. You might want to know yourself better. You might be looking for clarity and direction. You might know something needs to change, or simply need some healing and restoration. Wherever you are, there’s a place to begin. Explore at debrajones.ca.

    If today’s conversation has you thinking about your own life and what comes next, I invite you to explore The Debra Jones Path. Because I don’t believe this stage of life is about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to yourself, understanding who you are, trusting what you know, and choosing what comes next. There’s no prescribed starting point. Find the path that fits where you are right now at debrajones.ca.
