Season of Stuck
Have you ever felt stuck? Like you can’t move forward even though you want to—or don’t know what you would move forward to even if you could? If so, this podcast is for you.
Join host Deanna deBara (who is no stranger to stuck!) as we take a deep dive into all things stuck: how and why stuckness happens, what it feels like, how to learn and grow from it, and ultimately, how to get unstuck and step into the next version of ourselves and our lives.
Stuck isn’t a you thing or a me thing; it’s a human thing. So, why not explore it together? Catch new episodes every Tuesday!
