Stuckness Is Either Arrogance or Avoidance

Which one is it for you?The opposite of depression isn't happiness. It's expression.This is the first episode of A Loving Disruption, and I'm starting with the question that rearranged my life. It was 2021, my daughter was one, and I walked into a 96 hour conference I did not want to attend, feeling stuck on a cellular level. A psychological sniper Jean Marie Jobs walked up to me and asked why I was there. I said I was stuck. She said stuckness is usually a symptom of two things, arrogance or avoidance, and asked me which one it was.I've been unpacking that answer ever since.In this one: why arrogance is really unwillingness, what the five frenemies cost you (look good, be right, be liked, stay safe, stay in control), why creating from a "not" traps your brain, and the question I ask myself every time I get stuck.The closing question: if you were being more courageous today, what would you be doing?Send me a voice note on Instagram @elenakunkel. I actually listen and respond to them.
