How to Get Unstuck When Life Feels Overwhelming (#042)

Don't Step on the Bluebells

What if that crushing feeling of being stuck—the one where your feet feel nailed to the ground and every breath feels heavy—is actually your soul's way of preparing you for breakthrough? In this transformative solo episode, Amanda Parker reframes one of life's most uncomfortable experiences and reveals why that suffocating stuckness might be the exact energy you need to birth something extraordinary.

If you've ever felt paralyzed by an endless mental to-do list or wondered why you can see exactly what needs to change but can't seem to move the needle, this episode will shift everything. Amanda vulnerably shares her own recent creative crisis and draws a stunning parallel between feeling stuck and the final stages of childbirth—that unbearable discomfort right before new life emerges. "There is a point in time at which you will get so sick of your own... shit, that you will just push everything that you have into bringing that thing to life," she reveals, offering a completely new lens on what it means to feel trapped.

Beyond the mindset shift, Amanda delivers two game-changing techniques that will pull you out of overwhelm immediately: the brain dump method that transforms mental chaos into clear action steps, and the control assessment practice that puts you back in your power. You'll discover her three-category system for prioritizing (including the brilliant anxiety ranking method), learn why the Pomodoro technique works for even the most overwhelming projects, and understand how to distinguish between what's weighing you down versus what you can actually influence.

This isn't just about getting unstuck—it's about recognizing that your seasons of stagnation are sacred preparation for your next level of growth. What breakthrough might be waiting on the other side of your current discomfort? Listen now and discover the tools to transform your relationship with feeling stuck forever.
