I work as an in home nurse. My hours are 24 hours/5 days a week. I used to be an EMT and found a calling to help people in this way. I found early on that my rented apartment became a really expensive storage unit. I saved and bought a sweet polar 5th wheel. Living the North Central Wa. State life on Lake Chelan in my 48 hour Me Time, I live simple. Loved letting go of all the extra stuff. Love your ideas. Thank you. This took me three years to achieve. I now live fuller,lol. Ya' know what I'm sayin'? Start your plan and stick with it. Baby steps. Peace and Josh and Ryan, I started listening to you about four years ago. Again, Thank you!!!

This topic sings to me. Scared to resign from my current job because ive been working at the same place for 5+ years. Its much easier to move on before you get comfortable, then the idea of having multiple career in a lifetime can sink in.

I love how Ryan looks at the camera :)

Yes!!! Making a decision is what makes you unstuck. Whoo that hit me hard. Too much options drives me crazy. Give me one answer and that’s all I need, unfortunately it’s not how the world works so don’t be afraid to make the wrong decisions. Pick yourself back up and try again.

When I look back on my life, I can see all the different seasons, all were right for me and all were necessary at that time. That realization helps me be excited about the next season instead of dreading change, if my children and grand children could see the same in their lives, things would be easier for them.

This format is so much better!!!

Thank you! I've been feeling stuck for ideas with my sewing recently but I'm going to go and sit in my sewing chair and create something right now, even if it's rubbish! Fantastic advice today!

[@springbird21]

[@JustineGiles]

Getting unstuck is important but also having a good foundation is more important. If you pursue a passion but are crippled by debt and unemployment to the point of being racked with anxiety and depression because you no longer have the means to support yourself then maybe you are better off stuck. I knew someone who unstuck themselves, got a Masters degree, $200,000 in debt, unemployed and now is on the verge of homelessness.

I worked as a Veterinary Technician for 11 years before leaving the field to work at the Registrars office at my alma mater as an administrative support coordinator.

[@rosiecruz5926]

My current situation! I have been in my job for 18+ years. I'm now trying to switch career and apply for other jobs, but don't know how or where to start. I'm definitely stuck 🤔😣

[@dsears2662]

Did you find your way, Rosie? I find myself in a similar spot

[@rohnek2]

u guys need to come to cleveland already!

[@My.Lifes.Journey]

Just recorded yesterday and scrapped it...#stuck.

[@SRLevine7]

I'm wondering if she felt stuck because she didn't know what she wanted and where to start? Or maybe I am just projecting lol.

[@sistaschin]

Dayum... 3 hours on the toilet per week? That's shitty! But not actually.
