In this live coaching session, we explore the experience of feeling stuck in the “messy middle”—busy, doing a lot, but somehow feeling like nothing truly matters or moves forward. On the surface, it sounds like a lack of vision. But as the conversation unfolds, something deeper emerges: a persistent inner voice filled with doubt, judgment, and shame that questions every decision and overrides self-trust. We look at how this “boardroom voice” develops, why it becomes so loud, and how it quietly shapes your life from big decisions down to small everyday moments. Through a simple but powerful story, we uncover how one moment of “getting it wrong” can reinforce the belief that you can’t trust yourself. This episode also explores the emotional patterns behind that constant inner tension and the need to avoid discomfort, the fear of making the wrong choice, and even the subtle resistance to joy. Because the truth is: You don’t need a perfect vision to move forward. You need to rebuild trust with yourself. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: • Why feeling “stuck” isn’t actually about lacking direction • How your inner critical voice shapes your decisions • The connection between self-trust and clarity • Why avoiding discomfort keeps you in cycles of doubt • How perfectionism blocks growth (even in things you love) • Why joy can feel unsafe and how that affects your life • How to create more openness by allowing discomfort instead of resisting it RESOURCES: Free Guide: Growth Without Burnout: https://ellenbroencoaching.kit.com/b51104bb4d CEO Capacity Creator: https://ellenbroencoaching.kit.com/ceocapacitycreator","meta_description":"What if the problem isn’t that you lack clarity… but that you don’t trust yourself?
