Welcome back to Be Brave and Find Peace with Donella Kaidaneh. In this episode, Donella gets deeply personal as she unpacks the universal feeling of being “stuck” in relationships, careers, or life. If you’re longing for change but unsure where to start, this episode is your guide.


**What You’ll Hear:**


- **Donella’s Story:**  

Donella shares a powerful moment from her own life—facing a health scare at 50 and realising the truth about a lacking relationship. Her vulnerability sets the stage for an episode all about transformation, boundaries, and finding inner strength.


- **Why We Get Stuck:**  

Donella explores why we feel stuck, from unrealistic expectations to drifting without clear goals. She uses examples from her own experience and a client, Eva, who broke through a decade of career stagnation to create a life she loves.

  - Are my expectations of myself realistic?

  - What fears are holding me back?

  - Am I practising gratitude?
