The Opposite of Stuck

Every summer, many of us expect life to slow down. More sunshine. More freedom. More ease. But what if this season is actually inviting something much bigger? In this special episode, we’re sharing why we’re taking a short three-week pause from releasing new episodes—and why we believe the timing couldn’t be more intentional. Drawing on the wisdom we’ve been studying through Kabbalah, we’re talkin...

Manifestation has become one of the most popular topics in the personal growth world… but what if we’ve been approaching it backwards? In this episode, we’re offering a different perspective. Instead of asking, “How do I manifest what I want?” we’re asking a much bigger question: How do I become the person who can actually hold what I want? We explore manifestation through the lens of Kabbalah, so...

This week we’re talking about something we both realized we’ve been doing lately: moving too quickly from pain to solutions. In a world obsessed with fixing, healing, optimizing, and moving on, we’ve forgotten that being human requires us to actually feel . The truth is, certainty isn’t the first step. Feeling is. In this episode, we’re exploring the messy middle between bypassing our emotions and...

What do you do when life no longer fits—but the next chapter hasn’t arrived yet? In this episode, Sarah and Vicky explore the uncomfortable but transformative space they call the messy middle —that season where old identities, routines, relationships, and expectations are falling away, but what’s coming next isn’t fully visible yet. Together, they unpack a powerful reframe of certainty, challenge...

This week, we’re talking about self-worth—but probably not in the way you’ve heard before. Because maybe the real issue isn’t that you’re “not good enough.” Maybe you’ve just become disconnected from the truth of who you are. In this episode, we unpack the hidden hierarchy so many of us are unconsciously living in—the constant comparison, the need for validation, the feeling that other people are...

This week’s episode is different. Instead of talking about where people feel stuck, Sarah and Vicky share what’s been unfolding after consciously experimenting with transforming negativity, shifting their reactions, and choosing the opposite in daily life. From travel miracles and unexpected blessings to deeper peace, emotional resilience, and nervous system regulation, this conversation explores...

This week’s episode is raw, real, and rooted in a moment that changes you. After walking through the passing of someone deeply loved, Vicky shares what became undeniably clear when everything else fell away. The noise. The distractions. The “I’ll do it later” stories. What’s left? Love. Presence. Truth. And the uncomfortable realization that most of us wait for life to shake us awake before we sta...

On this episode of The Opposite of Stuck , we’re talking about something every single one of us experiences: bad days. The heavy days. The spirals. The moments where the voice in your head gets loud and convinces you that you’re stuck there forever. Vicky shares a recent experience moving through a hard day in real time, and together we unpack what it actually looks like to “do the opposite” inste...

Most people think they’re stuck because of circumstances. But what if it’s something way closer… and way more powerful? In this episode, we break down how your everyday language—what you say out loud, what you think silently, and what you repeat unconsciously—is shaping your reality in real time. Not in a fluffy, “just think positive” way. In a real, grounded, uncomfortable truth kind of way. We’r...

If you’ve ever thought “things would be better if they just changed…” — this episode is going to challenge everything you believe about that. In this conversation, we’re breaking down one of the most subtle (and socially accepted) ways we stay stuck: waiting on other people to show up differently so we can finally feel better, safer, or more seen. This episode was sparked by a real-life shift—one...

Everyone wants the result. The better life. The change. The win. But very few people are actually willing to become the person who can hold it. In this episode, we’re diving into the gap between wanting more… and preparing for more. Because it’s not the uncontrollable things in your life that are keeping you stuck—it’s how you’re responding to them. We talk about: why life feels so chaotic right n...

You’ve done the journaling. The readings. The breathwork. The deep dives into yourself. So why do you still feel stuck? In this episode, we’re calling out the healing trap no one talks about —the subtle way personal growth can become a distraction from the very thing that actually creates change. Because healing isn’t about fixing yourself. And it’s not about doing more. It’s about what you do aft...

You’re not giving. You ’re trying to be chosen. People pleasing looks like kindness. It looks like generosity. It even feels like love. But underneath it? It’s often fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of not being enough. Fear of not being loved for who you really are. In this episode, we unpack the truth about people pleasing—what it actually is, where it comes from, and why it’s leaving you exhausted...

In this episode, we’re talking about  embodiment, transforming negativity, and what it actually looks like to become more of yourself in real life  — not just in theory. Inspired by our experience with  The Artist’s Way  and the practice of  morning pages , we unpack how asking to be shown your negativity can completely shift the way you move through daily triggers, frustration, overwhelm, and rea...

In Part 2 of our grief conversation, we move beyond the initial pain of loss and into something deeper— the identity we create around it, and the possibility that nothing is ever truly gone . We talk about how easy it is to become “the person who lost someone,” and how that identity can quietly keep us stuck. We explore the idea that grief isn’t just something we feel—it can become who we believe...

In this episode, we open a conversation most of us were never taught how to have. Grief is something every single one of us will experience, yet so many of us move through it feeling alone, stuck, or unsure of how to process what we’re feeling. We share our own personal experiences of losing a parent at a young age, and the ways grief showed up for us—then and now. We talk about how grief can quie...

Have you ever thought you finally moved past a pattern… only to watch it show up again in a completely new situation? In this episode of  The Opposite of Stuck , Sarah and Vicky explore the surprising moments when old patterns reappear at new levels of growth. What can feel like failure is often actually evidence that you’ve grown — and that the same lesson is returning in new packaging. Vicky sha...

What if joy didn’t need to be earned, justified, or saved for special occasions? In this episode, we explore what it really means to be the cause of your joy — instead of waiting for circumstances, achievements, or other people to create it for you. We talk about the subtle ways we block joy in everyday life, how overthinking and “shoulds” keep us stuck, and why joy is reason enough to make a choi...

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you need a better strategy — but because you’re following someone else’s? In this episode, we dive into authenticity, Human Design strategy and authority, and the subtle ways we get pulled off course when we start using someone else’s roadmap as our own. Using Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as an example, we explore what it looks like to build success from...

Starting something new sounds exciting — until resistance shows up. In this episode, we unpack why  every  new beginning brings discomfort, self-doubt, and the urge to quit — and why that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Through real-life stories (from meditation habits to punch-needle art projects), we explore how resistance isn’t a stop sign, but a signal that something meaningful is unfoldin...

Every year, we tell ourselves the same story:  New year, new me. And every year, most of us end up right back where we started. In this episode, Sarah and Vicky unpack why the idea of “new year, new you” actually keeps people stuck—and what real change  actually  requires. We talk about why growth is uncomfortable by design, how familiar pain keeps us trapped in old patterns, and why awareness wit...

In this episode, we’re unpacking a sneaky pattern that keeps a lot of people spinning: the moment “commitment” starts to feel like pressure… and suddenly you’re trying, forcing, pushing—then wondering why you feel stuck. Vicky shares a real-time experience from a mastermind that brought up a deep internal trigger around the energy of commitment. What looked like “I should do more” was actually a s...

In PART 2, Vicky shares her first conscious “do the opposite” moment around one of her biggest lifelong patterns: scarcity and receiving. After choosing  “receiving”  as her word of the year, the universe started sending very specific curriculum—an unexpected loss of her dog, guilt around using her hard-earned 401(k) savings, and a dream opportunity to fly to London for a live event that lit her u...

In this first part of our two-part series, Sarah shares the story of the  first time she consciously did the opposite of her lifelong pattern — chasing external validation and saying yes to misaligned opportunities. Inside a “perfect on paper” business partnership, the universe started surfacing an old wound: needing bosses, titles, and “legitimate” companies to prove her worth. From late payments...

Welcome to the very first episode of  The Opposite of Stuck . In this intro conversation, Sarah and Vicky share how their friendship, breathwork practice, and years of deep spiritual conversations organically led to creating this podcast. You’ll hear the story of how a single intuitive download sparked the idea, why “doing the opposite” became their shared core philosophy, and how returning to the...
