EP23: You’re Feeling Stuck Because You Forgot How Multidimensional You Are

Feeling stuck might have less to do with your circumstances and more to do with only seeing one version of who you are.   As May rolled in, I realized I hadn’t made the progress I hoped for this year, and that left me feeling stuck. I’ve heard the same thing from so many smart, accomplished women in business who are committed to personal development but still feel like something’s missing.   I started asking myself: are we stuck, or are we just seeing ourselves through too narrow a lens? So often we’re reduced to one role… entrepreneur, parent, partner… and it’s hard to imagine what else we could be. But living in Paris has shown me how much power there is in being multi-dimensional. The culture here values boundaries, and those boundaries make space for different sides of a person to exist.   In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning, the practices that are helping me reconnect with other versions of myself, and a few questions I think are worth asking. What would happen if you stopped waiting for the next version of you to show up and started making space for her instead?   I hope this episode encourages you to do just that.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Reflections on Feeling Stuck 02:18 The Pressure of Being One-Dimensional 05:10 What Paris Taught Me About Complexity 07:56 Boundaries and Identity in French Culture 14:07 Tools for Personal Development 19:04 Do the Work   Links Connect with Jane Bertch: Website: www.janebertch.com  Instagram @janebertch Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
