Getting Unstuck Brainstorming Strategies

Описание: Do you ever feel stuck and think, “How did I end up here again?” You’re not alone. Feeling stuck is one of the most universal human experiences, and in this episode we break down why it happens and how to get yourself moving forward again.

Hosted by Dr. Kortney Peagram (The Ordinary Professor), this episode teaches you practical strategies, mindset shifts, and emotional intelligence tools to help you get unstuck, regulate stress, and find clarity.
