From Stuck To Thriving: Transform Your Mindset to Accelerate Career Growth and Leadership Success
/On International Women’s Day, I had the incredible honour of speaking at my local gym about How to Break the Habit of Being Stuck.
This topic resonated with so many women in the room, and I wanted to share the key framework with you too. I know how it feels to pour effort into something only to feel like you're running in circles. Whether you're battling fitness, managing weight and wellbeing, or dealing with a toxic work environment, it can feel overwhelming.
Maybe you’ve found yourself questioning if change is even possible. Or wondering if you’ve missed the window to go after your dreams. But if you're here, I know you’ve achieved a lot—and you're ready for more. You're ready to break through to the next level, but you're just not sure how.
The Struggle: Does any of this sound familiar?
Every day feels like an internal battle between who you are now and who you want to be.
You don’t have a clear roadmap or the best tools to make your dreams a reality.
You haven’t given yourself the time and space to truly achieve your goals— you likely throw in the towel too soon.
You believe you'll become the person you need to be as you chase your goals – but that’s not how it works. It’s not about becoming someone else—it’s about aligning with your highest self right now.
It can feel exhausting to keep pushing toward your goals when it feels like you’re stuck. You’ve Googled, Instagrammed, and absorbed countless self-help advice—but you're still feeling frozen. Burnout, frustration, and self-doubt can keep you trapped in analysis paralysis.
The Good News: Here’s the game-changer: Your brain is plastic. That means it can grow, adapt, and change based on how you use it. It doesn’t differentiate between what’s real and imagined—so you can speed up the transformation process and start seeing results faster than you think.
And here's the best part: You can achieve your goals without burning out and without sacrificing your wellbeing. Yes, it’s possible to create transformation in a way that feels joyful, fulfilling, and energizing. It doesn't have to be hard or stressful.
Breaking the Habit of Being Stuck:
I know it feels soul-crushing when everyone else seems to have it all together, and you’re still feeling stuck. But here’s what I want you to know: You don’t have to wait to become the person you envision for yourself—you can start right now.
Here are the key steps to break free from being stuck and finally create the transformation you’ve been dreaming about:
1. Identify What’s Holding You Back:
The first step is to identify what’s causing your internal struggle. Is it negative self-talk? Fear of failure? Or maybe it's external factors like a toxic work environment or overwhelming responsibilities. Be honest with yourself about what’s blocking your progress.
2. Realize That Change Doesn’t Take as Long as You Think:
Just because you’ve been stuck for years doesn’t mean it will take years to get unstuck. Change can happen much faster than you realize once you shift your perspective and take the right action steps.
3. Align with Your Highest Self:
Achieving your goals isn’t about working harder—it’s about aligning with your highest self today. Start by identifying the mental, physical, and emotional resources you need to embody the person you want to become. Ask yourself: What beliefs, habits, and behaviors does my future self possess?
You can begin right now, in the present moment, to become that person. You don't need to wait for the promotion, the title, or the paycheck to start showing up as your best self. This shift in mindset is transformative.
4. Create a Clear Roadmap to Embody Your Future Self:
A clear plan of action is essential to keep you on track. This is where a structured roadmap can help. I recommend tools like my FREE Peak Performance Playbook and The Rise of The Wild Woman program to help you define and embody the thoughts, actions, and behaviors needed to reach your next level of success.
These tools will help you break the cycle of negative thinking and allow you to create lasting positive change, making the process of personal and professional growth feel easier.
5. Resolve Resistance with Confidence:
Resistance is a natural part of the growth process. When you face it, instead of avoiding or giving up, you’ll need a plan of action to move through it. By using the techniques from the programs I offer, you’ll gain the tools and mindset necessary to push through challenges, allowing you to stay on course and continue moving forward.
The Key to Success: When you approach your goals with the mindset that you are already the person who has achieved them, success becomes inevitable. Stop waiting for the “perfect” moment to become the person who can achieve success. Start now, and make your dreams a reality without burning out or sacrificing your mental and physical health.
Take Silje for example, we helped her go from burnout to thriving within 6 months by pinpointing exactly who Silje’s highest self is - both as a leader and a mother – and help her embody that version of herself. Here’s what she shared with me recently:
"My clarity is so much better now. I still face detours, but I regain my focus more easily. It’s tough, but your support has helped me reconnect with my inner strength and perspective. I’ll handle whatever comes my way!"
Conclusion: You are not stuck. You are simply in the process of transformation, and you have all the tools you need to accelerate that process. It’s time to break the habit of being stuck, step into your power, and start embodying the version of yourself that is already successful.
