Ever feel busy yet strangely motionless, like you’re circling the same choice and calling it productivity? Keisha opens season two with radical honesty about pausing on purpose, then dives into “the stuck life”—why it rarely looks like laziness and often looks like polished planning, over-researching, and waiting for perfect clarity. We unpack how fear dresses up as logic, how stillness silently drains energy, joy, and creativity, and why clarity usually arrives after movement, not before.

Together, we map the real costs of staying still: the slow leak of confidence, the erosion of self-trust, and the way “checking all the boxes” can mask heavy misalignment. Keisha shares a personal story of choosing safety over alignment and the price it demanded, then reframes your body’s signals—tension, fatigue, heaviness—as data worth trusting. From there, we get practical with seven grounded steps to get unstuck: naming the exact stuck point, separating facts from fear, embracing micro-movements, dropping the need for permission, building supportive accountability, normalizing discomfort, and measuring progress by alignment instead of speed.

This conversation also brings authenticity down to earth. We explore daily practices that create real change: honest answers instead of automatic “I’m fine,” boundaries that protect energy, value-led decisions when moods waver, less performance and more presence, and celebrating small wins to build momentum. We close with a preview of what’s next: centering real women’s voices for Women’s History Month—stories of choosing themselves, finding their voice, and moving imperfectly.
