You know what you need to do. You can even see it clearly. But moving toward it feels like walking through wet concrete.

That's the mud phase.

In this episode, I'm coming back after a few months away — and I'm coming back honest. I'm in the mud phase right now, and instead of waiting until I'm through it to talk about it, I'm talking about it from inside it.

Because that's what this show is about.

We talk about what the mud phase actually feels like, why it's not a detour from your path but actually part of it, and what I've learned from being here more than once. And I leave you with a feeling and a permission slip — because sometimes that's exactly what we need.

If you're in the in-between right now, wondering when you're going to feel like yourself again — this one's for you.

In this episode:

  • What the mud phase actually is and why you're not broken for being in it
  • Why this isn't my first time here — and what I've learned
  • The difference between waiting too long and catching it earlier
  • A permission slip for taking your next step from inside the mud

If you feel called to go deeper, there are a few ways to continue the conversation below — take what resonates and leave the rest.
