The Deliberate Exchange - Navigating Stress, Sobriety & Self-Trust — One Deliberate Step at a Time

Change Is Hard: Why You Feel Stuck & How to Finally Move EP #22

Chelsea Powell Season 1 Episode 22

Change isn’t just about deciding—it’s a process. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you keep repeating the same patterns, it’s not because you lack willpower. It’s because real transformation happens in stages.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 6 Stages of Change—from denial to action to maintaining momentum. You’ll learn:
✅ Why you’re not actually failing when you "fall off track"
✅ The hidden stage that keeps most people stuck
✅ How to move through resistance, self-sabotage, and relapse
✅ What to do when motivation dips so you don’t quit

If you’re in contemplation mode, overthinking your next step, or frustrated by setbacks, this episode will shift your perspective. Let’s break through the mental blocks and make lasting change—for real this time.
