You’re not actually stuck (so stop acting like it)


Your people are over hearing you complain about your job.

They’re breaking out the world’s smallest violin and speed-dialing the wambulance. Heck, you’re probably sick of your own complaining by now.

Look, I get it. Maybe you’re juggling a garbage-fire project, reporting to a boss who’s a walking red flag, and getting underpaid for the privilege—all while white-knuckling it through late-stage capitalism. Or maybe you’re fending off a persistent whisper saying, “This can’t be it, right?”

And you’re barely keeping up with your current job, so how could you possibly carve out the time and energy to figure out what’s next? And in this job market?!

I see you. Your feelings are valid. But here’s the real talk:

What are you going to do about it?

Because the status quo isn’t just draining you—it’s draining everyone who has to hear about it. (We still love you, but come on.)

You’ve got two choices:

  1. Make your current situation work
  2. Do something different

I created Stuck to Sparked to help you choose, and take action.

On January 30th, join this intimate career exploration workshop. You’ll get clarity on what needs to change in your career—and the life it supports—so you can confidently design your next chapter.

If you’re content wallowing and annoying your friends, skip it. But if you’re ready to embrace that nagging discomfort as a sign to change, this is your moment.

Don’t believe change is possible?

Let me leave you with this dynamite quote from French novelist Anaïs Nin:

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

This weekend, I learned to make my Grandma Anne’s legendary matzo ball soup. After hanging up with my aunt (“use loooots of dill”), I got to work prepping for Soup Fest—my friend’s annual gathering where 40+ people bring soups, sample and vote on their favorites, and winners walk away with glory and embossed spoons. I almost didn’t go. Work and life have been full, and a solo night—a yoga class, a luxurious bath, finally catching up on Severance (holy shit, that finale!)—felt like the right...

LA’s hottest trend right now? A little virus that barges in unannounced and squats in your respiratory system until it’s ready to move on to its next victim. (That, and either baggy, flared, or skinny jeans—I honestly don’t know anymore.) Last week, this little menace got me, and I was reminded how much I hate not being at 100%. No one likes being sick. It’s famously uncomfortable and shrinks your world to your couch, surrounded by a halo of crumpled tissues. But I want to talk about the...
