Have you ever been in a situation where you know exactly what you have to do, and yet, you’re not doing it? The reality is that none of us live in a world where we constantly feel confident in our ability to mobilize our dreams. However, we are experts at beating ourselves up when we get stuck in pursuit of big goals, and Eleanor’s guest this week is here to uncover actionable steps you can take to overcome your own stuckness.
Britt Frank is a clinician, educator, and trauma specialist. She received her BA from Duke University and her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas where she is an award-winning adjunct professor. She speaks and writes widely about emotional wellness and healing, and her book, The Science of Stuck, has been named a must-read.
Tune in this week as Britt breaks down the science of stuck. She’s extremely generous in relating the science of stuck to her own experience, and is providing super practical ways to get through your stuckness. She’s offering her insights on what we can do on our collective quest against stuckness, and how to become someone who does hard better, rather than wishing it was easy.
