Thinking About It: The Stage Where Everything Stays the Same

About this episode

Amy discusses the contemplation stage of personal change, sharing her experiences and insights to help listeners feel understood and motivated.

You know that thing you've been meaning to deal with? The habit, the relationship, the health issue, the job — the one where you keep saying "someday" or "when the kids are older" or "when I finally have more time"? Welcome to the contemplation stage — and you are not alone here. This week Amy gets refreshingly honest, sharing her own "thinking about it" moments, including the end of her marriage, to illuminate what this stage really looks and feels like from the inside. Spoiler: it can feel like progress, but nothing is actually moving yet. The good news? There are two very specific signs that tell you when you're beginning to move through it — and one of them might surprise you. If you've ever felt stuck, embarrassed, confused, or like you've been circling the same problem for years, this episode will make you feel seen, understood, and just motivated enough to take one small step forward. Because here's the truth — nothing out there changes while everything stays in here. Connect with Amy here…
