I’m excited. We’ve worked really hard to get here today and it’s finally arrived. 😁
The first episode of Stuck is now live, featuring Dr. Christina Villarreal, executive coach to leaders at OpenAI, Apple, and Slack. She shares insights on one of the hardest questions we face in our careers: how do we know if we're truly stuck, or just going through a rough patch?
"Being stuck often manifests physically and emotionally before we consciously recognize it. Your body is trying to tell you things long before your mind catches up."
- Dr. Christina Villarreal
Key themes from the episode:
The difference between being stuck versus temporary boredom or frustration
Why even successful people struggle to recognize when they need change
How our bodies often signal we're stuck before our minds catch up
The role of identity in career transitions
Practical steps to start exploring change without burning bridges
Practical Takeaway: Christina recommends starting with a simple question:
"What more do you want to learn? What more do you want to experience?" Often, the answers reveal whether you're truly ready for change or face an unexpected obstacle on our path.
Resource Mentioned: For those starting their reflection journey, Christina recommends The Daily Stoic as a framework for gaining clarity and perspective.
