THE ILLUSION OF BEING STUCK
So friend, tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re showing up, doing the work, checking all the boxes, and yet… it feels like nothing’s changing. You’re like, “Wait a second. I’ve been doing everything I’m supposed to—reading the books, showing up, putting in the effort—and why does it still feel like I’m stuck in the same spot?”
Whew. I’ve been there, and I know how frustrating that feels. It’s like running on a treadmill—sweating, exhausted, giving it everything you’ve got—and yet when you look around, the view hasn’t changed.
But here’s where I want to free you: just because you don’t see progress doesn’t mean it’s not happening. You are not stuck. You are not behind. And you are definitely not wasting your energy. You are closer than you think, Queen.
THE HIDDEN SIGNS OF PROGRESS
Here’s the thing nobody talks about: progress is sneaky. It doesn’t always show up with confetti and applause. Most of the time, it hides in the little things—the shifts you barely notice because you’re so focused on the “big win” you think you should have by now.
Progress looks like this:
- You show up on the days you don’t feel like it.
- You bounce back faster when life knocks you sideways.
- You don’t spiral as long—you catch yourself mid-pattern and shift quicker.
- You’re making decisions with more clarity and less hesitation.
- You set a boundary that scared you but freed you.
- You said “no” where the old you would’ve people-pleased with a “yes.”
Those are not small things. Those are massive shifts. They’re proof your mindset is evolving, your self-love is expanding, your empowerment is growing. That is main character energy in motion—even if you don’t see the big “ta-da!” results yet.
GROWTH ISN’T LINEAR (AND THAT’S OKAY)
We love to picture growth as a perfect little graph that climbs higher and higher in a straight line. But let me tell you—the real growth graph? It looks like spaghetti. Loops, circles, two steps forward, one step back, a detour you didn’t expect.
And you know what? That’s not failure—that’s transformation. Backward isn’t backward. It’s integration. It’s your nervous system catching up with your new identity. It’s you practicing, reinforcing, building.
When I was standing at the beach in Monterey, I watched the waves. At first, each wave looked like it was doing its own thing, rising and falling on its own. But then I realized: the power of each wave came from the waves behind it, backing it up, building its strength. And when the right moment came, it surged forward with unstoppable force.
That’s you right now. Every “small” step you take is another wave. Every boundary, every journal entry, every hard conversation, every time you showed up when you wanted to hide—it’s stacking. It’s building. And when your breakthrough wave comes, it’s going to carry you further than you imagined.
WHAT THIS UNLOCKS FOR YOU
Once you start spotting your invisible progress, here’s what shifts:
- Confidence → You realize you’re not starting from zero. You’re already further than you thought.
- Empowerment → You stop doubting whether it’s working and start trusting that every step is adding up.
- Self-Love → You finally give yourself credit instead of criticism, and that fuels you to keep going.
- Peace → You let go of the “shoulds” that keep you stuck in shame and settle into the truth that you’re right on time.
This isn’t about pretending you’re further than you are—it’s about recognizing that who you’re becoming is proof you’re already on your way.
3 MAIN CHARACTER MOVES TO SPOT YOUR PROGRESS
Here’s how to ground yourself in your growth and stop missing the evidence that’s right in front of you:
1. AUDIT YOUR EVIDENCE
Sit down with your journal and write out your hidden wins. Did you say no when you normally would’ve said yes? Did you handle a setback with more grace than last time? Did you recover quicker, make a decision faster, or stand taller in your truth? That’s proof. That’s growth. Collect your receipts.
2. REDEFINE PROGRESS
Progress isn’t just about “arriving.” It’s about becoming. Stop measuring yourself only by outcomes and start measuring by shifts: your mindset, your resilience, your self-discovery. That’s how you unlock empowerment in the messy middle.
3. CELEBRATE CONSISTENCY
Listen, Queen—consistency is underrated. The fact that you’re still here, still trying, still putting one foot in front of the other? That’s progress in action. Celebrate showing up. Celebrate the wave building behind the scenes. Because consistency is what guarantees transformation.
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Sis, you are not behind. You are not stuck. You are closer than you think. Every choice, every drop of effort, every wave of persistence is stacking up to carry you into the life you’ve been praying for.
So today? Breathe. Give yourself credit. Celebrate your roots even before the bloom. Because when that breakthrough wave finally hits—and it will—you’ll realize you were never standing still. You were transforming the whole time.
Friend, your progress is in motion. You’re not lost, you’re not late, you’re not less than—you’re right on time. And the best part? The story you’re building right now is the exact story that’s going to inspire someone else one day.
You’re closer than you think. 💖
