"You're not stuck - you're just standing at the edge of your next chapter, waiting for one small step to show you the way.” - Rebecca Ann

Ever Felt Stuck?

Like, soul-deep stuck? The kind where even unloading the dishwasher feels like a personal attack?

Yep, me too.

If you've found your way here, chances are you're standing in that murky, messy middle - between the life you had and the life you haven't quite figured out yet. Whether you're navigating grief, divorce, an empty nest, or just woke up one day thinking, "Is this it?" - you're not alone. And you're definitely not broken.

Episode 26: The Truth About Feeling Stuck (and What to Do First)

That Foggy Feeling? It's Real (and Totally Normal)

After I lost my husband at 44, I hit a wall I didn't see coming. The early chaos gave way to silence. The cards stopped. The meals stopped. Life....paused. And suddenly, I was left sitting with a thousand questions and zero direction.

But here's the truth: feeling stuck isn't a sign you're failing. It's a sign you're human. Our brains freeze when the future feels uncertain. It's protection mode. But the longer we stay in that stuck space, the harder it gets to move.

It's Not Just About Grief

Feeling stuck can show up after any big life change - divorce, burnout, career upheaval, even finally getting what you thought you wanted.... and realizing it's not it.

So, to the midlife women reading this who are quietly whispering, "Where do I even begin?" - I see you. And I want you to know the very first step doesn't have to be dramatic or overwhelming.

My First Step Wasn't Pretty (But It Worked)

Want to know my first step?

I made my bed. Every. Single. morning.

Yep, that's it. No life coach, no perfect morning routine, no colour-coded vision board. Just one quiet commitment to myself that said:

"I may not have it all together, but I can do this one thing today."

That one habit created momentum. And momentum creates change.

What You Can Do Today

Start with something small and kind.

• Drink a glass of water.

• Take a walk without your phone.

• Write down one thing you're grateful for.

• Light a candle in a clean space.

• Or hey - make your bed too. I won't gatekeep.

You don't need to redesign your whole life in one day. You just need one clear, loving step forward.

Want Help With That First Step?

If you're ready to gently nudge yourself out of that fog and toward something new, I've got two things for you:

By the end of the week, you'll have a clearer routine, renewed energy, and simple tools to help you stay on track. The course is self-paced, so you can complete it on your own time and revisit it whenever you need to recalibrate.
