Show Notes:
Most of us say we want clarity, purpose, and confidence. But when asked what we’re focusing on, the answers often conflict: find my purpose… set boundaries without guilt… eat healthier and work out more.

In this episode, I unpack the results of a recent survey where women shared their struggles, emotions, and desires — and reveal the hidden conflict underneath it all. Why do we reach for the “doable” goals while avoiding the deeper work? Why do we stay stuck between overwhelm and hope, stress and self-discovery?

Together, we’ll explore:

  • The most common challenges women named (clarity, stress, boundaries, confidence).
  • The emotional paradox of being both overwhelmed and hopeful.
  • How distractions — even healthy ones — can quietly keep us from the clarity we crave.
  • Why this tension is so common, and what it really takes to reconnect with your true self.
  • The exact things I faced in navigating catastrophic life change — and how I learned the difference between distraction and real alignment.

If you’ve ever felt torn between what you say you want and where your energy actually goes, this conversation will resonate.
