Grow or Stay Stuck — It’s Your Move

It’s August.
The goals we set in January? A distant blur for many.
The person you were then might already feel outdated.
That’s not a failure, that’s growth trying to happen.

And here’s the truth I come back to again and again:
We either grow, or we stay stuck.
There’s no in-between.

Let’s Be Honest:

Change doesn’t always look like a full rebrand.
Sometimes it’s subtle.
Learning a new skill.
Shifting a habit.
Letting go of something (or someone) that’s holding you back.
Or finally asking yourself: What do I actually want now?

Whether you’re pivoting careers, upgrading your mindset, or just trying to figure out what’s next, growth starts with one thing: getting honest.

Let’s Check In:

  • Are you still on track with what matters to you?

  • Have your goals shifted but you haven’t admitted it yet?

  • Is there a skill or mindset you’ve outgrown?

As someone who works in the talent space and coaches people through pivots, I can tell you this: Employers, opportunities, even relationships, they gravitate toward people who are self-aware, adaptable, and learning.

Not perfect. Not performing. But progressing.


Try This August Reset:

Take a quiet 20 minutes. Grab a notebook or open a doc. No pressure, just reflection.

  1. Re-Vision
    Describe your ideal job, habit, or lifestyle today. What feels right now? What have you outgrown?

  2. Self-Rating
    Rate yourself from 1–10 in the areas that matter most to you: mindset, career, creativity, energy, confidence, etc.

  3. Pinpoint the Gaps
    What needs attention? Is it a skill? A belief? A relationship? A boundary?

  4. Weed + Water
    What’s holding you back and what needs more energy from you?

  5. Make a Micro Plan
    Choose one focus area. Set a simple plan: what, how, when, and who can help keep you accountable.

  6. Review Weekly
    Adjust without shame. Your only job is to keep showing up.

Not Sure What You Want Anymore?

That’s a signal. Not a setback.

You might not need a new job, maybe you need clarity, direction, or help breaking through old patterns.

If you're feeling stuck or unsure of what growth looks like for you, I offer a free 30-minute session to help you reflect, realign, and decide whether coaching might support your growth.

The desire to grow is already a sign you're ready.

Now it's time to act on it.

P.S.

Growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a quiet decision to begin again on your terms.

So take a breath. Recommit to yourself. You’re allowed to pivot, explore, and evolve.

August is a powerful time to reset.

Let’s make the second half of the year count.
