Decide, Act, Pivot: The Midlife Formula for Getting Unstuck with Sara Fernandes

Описание: In this episode of Unscripted & Unstoppable, Laureen sits down with Sara Fernandes, Clarity & Growth Coach and founder of Life Mastery Magazine, for a powerful and deeply human conversation about what it really means to feel stuck in midlife — and how a single decision can change everything.

Sara breaks down her simple yet transformative approach: decide, act, pivot.

Rather than waiting for perfect clarity, she shows how momentum is created through small decisions, intentional action, and the willingness to adjust as you go. Together, we explore how “stuckness” often isn’t a lack of ability or wisdom — but a moment of waiting that’s asking to be transformed into choice.

If you’re standing at a threshold — craving change, sensing transition, or feeling unsure of what comes next — this episode is a reminder that you’re not frozen. You’re simply on the edge of your next decision.

🌿 In This Episode, We Explore:

-What “being stuck” really means beneath the surface

-The emotional and psychological patterns that keep midlife women in hesitation

-Why overthinking can feel safe — and why it often keeps us stagnant

-How clarity emerges after you take action, not before

-The power of the first step, even when it feels small

-How to distinguish a healthy pivot from giving up

-The essential role of self-trust in every reinvention

-A simple decision you can make today to shift your momentum
