What If “Stuck” Is Fake News?

"Stuck only exists when you believe you’re supposed to be somewhere else." -Jessica Jaramillo              

Let’s go there.

What if being stuck is a story we’ve bought into — not a fact?

We've all said it: “I feel stuck.”

In a job, in a relationship, in our own heads.

It’s the sensation of spinning our wheels, desperate for traction, craving movement, clarity, or momentum. But what if this feeling… isn’t the problem? What if it’s not even real?

Here’s a bold reframe:

You’re not stuck. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be for what’s next to unfold.

The idea of being stuck only makes sense if you believe you should already be somewhere else — achieving more, knowing more, doing more. It’s a judgment. A comparison. A glitch in our mental GPS that says, “You missed a turn,” when in fact… you’re still on your path.

What if this moment — right here — is not a detour, but data?

Not a dead end, but a doorway?

Consider this:

• What if you’re not stuck… you’re gestating?

• What if the stillness you’re resisting is actually sacred?

• What if your next move requires the pause you’re trying to rush through?

Being in transition — in between the before and the breakthrough — can feel like a trap. But it isn’t. It’s a space. A sacred, uncomfortable, wildly potent space where the old is dissolving and the new isn’t fully visible yet.

That doesn’t mean you’re failing.

It means you’re evolving.

Here’s what we know:

You don’t need to force clarity.

You don’t need to hustle your way out of the fog.

You need to stop fighting the now.

“Stuck” is often your soul’s way of saying:

There’s something here you haven’t honored yet.

A truth. A pattern. A decision.

A permission slip you haven’t given yourself.

So instead of trying to escape it, what if you listened to it?

Ask yourself:

• What’s really happening here?

• What am I learning in this pause?

• What am I making “stuck” mean about me?

When you shift your perspective from frustration to curiosity, the energy moves. Insight comes. Not because you pushed harder — but because you stopped pushing and started trusting.

You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

You’re not off-course. You’re on the edge of something real.

And you’re not stuck.

You’re standing in a moment that’s asking you to be still long enough to feel the truth that’s been whispering underneath the noise.

You’ll move.

You’ll rise.

You’ll know.

But for now —breathe.

And know that right here is not wrong… it’s exactly where you need to be!
