Do you ever feel stuck in that in-between where you’re not getting anything done—but you’re not actually resting either? I call this limbo, and it’s often driven by overthinking, decision fatigue, and overwhelm. In this episode, I walk you through why this happens and how to gently get yourself out of that stuck state without adding more pressure.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

What “limbo” actually is (and how to recognize it in your daily life)
How overthinking, decision fatigue, and overwhelm keep you stuck and feeling like you’re “wasting time”
The most common reasons you end up in limbo (including lack of structure and unclear plans)
A simple check-in question to help you decide between rest vs. action
How to take the smallest, most realistic step forward to build momentum without burnout
