Ep. 326 – This Is Why You Feel Stuck (And What to Do When You’re in the Void)

by neeta bhushan

PODCAST

What do you do when your old self no longer fits, but the new you hasn’t fully arrived yet? In this heart-centered solocast, I’m taking you deep into what I call the “gap season”—that uncomfortable, messy middle where everything feels unclear and your identity gets shaken up. Whether you’re navigating a career shift, launching a new vision, or simply feeling off in your current life, this episode will help you honor the void rather than rush through it.

I’m sharing my personal journey of braving the unknown, from launching my Chitonics brand to moving across the world and navigating big life transitions. This is for all my high-achievers, cycle-breakers, and visionaries who are in the in-between and craving clarity, grounding, and realignment. 

Get ready to feel seen—and leave with new questions to ask yourself in your next chapter!

What you’ll get out of this episode… 

  • Why your “stuck” feelings might actually mean you’re exactly where you need to be
  • What it really looks like to hold space for reinvention (without burning out)
  • How small, sensory rituals (like chai!) can anchor you during big life changes
  • The silent danger of “success fatigue” and how to tell if you’re secretly in it
  • What questions you must ask yourself before stepping into your next chapter
  • How to recognize when you’re clinging to old identities that no longer serve you
  • A powerful reframe for making yourself unavailable for energy-draining conversations
