"
Getting unstuck doesn't always mean changing your life.
Sometimes it means finally understanding why you are the way you are and
giving yourself permission to move forward anyway.

Let's Get Unstuck—Together

If you've ever felt stuck, heavy with questions, or unsure how to move forward, you're not alone. I've been there too—hell, let's be real, I am still there in many ways. That's why I created this space. Not as an expert, but as someone choosing to face the hard parts and share the journey honestly. Here, I write about the messy middle of healing—what I've been through, how I'm working through it, and the mindset shifts that are helping me grow. I am looking for guidance, just like you.

Why I Started This Journey

I’ve been feeling stuck. Questioning and searching for my purpose, self-worth, self-esteem and confidence. Unsure of what the next chapter looks like for awhile now.

Somewhere along the way, I lost the connection I had with myself. And in the middle of that chaos, I found coaching podcasts that hit home to me. They made me feel seen.

So I created this space to share my stories, your stories and some segments that helped me the most.

Massive gratitude to the coaches and all creators who put their work out there—it’s changed my life.

I now write about turning pain points into positivity, purpose and power. My stories are real, honest reflections and create a space for healing, connection and growth.

Let’s Get Unstuck is for anyone trying to move forward, heal, grow, or just take a breath.
It's also a place for your stories—your truth, your breakthroughs, your mess.

Together, we’re building a digital space rooted in warmth, honesty, and real-life growth.

Much love,

—Traci

How do I share my own story?

Your voice matters here. Head to the Share Your Story page to submit a personal story, breakthrough moment, or lesson that helped you move toward getting unstuck. Stories are thoughtfully reviewed to ensure they align with the purpose of this space and may be selected for publication.

To be considered, submissions should be shared with care—flagging any potentially triggering content, avoiding harmful language, and offering the reader a sense of hope or a next step forward. While not every story will be published, each one is read with respect and appreciation for the courage it takes to share.

What can I expect from the weekly newsletter?

Once a week, you'll receive a single story—written by me or someone from this community—sharing a real moment in time when we felt stuck and what helped us begin to move through it. These are honest, personal reflections meant to be read slowly, felt deeply, and carried with you.

No fluff. No forced positivity. Just real voices telling the truth, with the hope that something in the story helps you feel less alone and a little more able to take your next step forward.
