Ep 133: You Are Not Stuck with Becky Vollmer

Have you ever felt ‘stuck’? Chances are, the answer is yes. We can feel stuck in circumstances, situations that feel beyond our control. We can feel stuck when we are trying to manage other peoples feelings or reactions. Let’s face it, feeling stuck can suck!

But, what if we don’t have to be ‘stuck’? Is being stuck simply a matter of our thoughts? Do we really have a choice about being stuck?

If you have ever asked yourself these questions, you are not alone. Becky Vollmer is the author of “You Are Not Stuck” and she shares on the podcast exactly how we move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered by choice.

Becky is more than an author; she is a yoga teacher, a retreat leader and a spiritual guide who coaches women to take back their power. Becky’s mission is “… to empower people to pursue the lives they dream of instead of settling for the ones they feel stuck in…”

Becky comes to a place of change and permission with full street cred: in 5 years she stepped off the corporate ladder; stopped drinking; got divorced; got remarried; began co-parenting 4 teenagers!

Our podcast conversation moves from the success of her book to her ‘prescription’ for moving from fear to freedom. Here are some of the highlights:

  • The big permission slip
  • The morning buffet
  • The messy middle
  • Our values roadmap
  • Finding your stardust

Becky is one of those unique humans who is full of light and humor and also leaves space for the raw and real. You can find out more about Becky and purchase your own copy of “You Are Not Stuck”.
