Have you ever been going along day to day…and suddenly realized the excitement and passion you used to have seems to have faded a bit? Or a lot?

Or you have this itch, this restlessness, this voice deep inside that keeps whispering of the life you’re yearning to live…but currently aren’t?

Yeah, me too.

It happens to all of us at some point — particularly during transitional stages of life — and it can be hard to know how to get your mojo back. Or have the gumption to bust a new move.

I’ve been that person…

• I remember feeling stuck and almost trapped, honestly, in a job that was slowly draining the life out of me, frustrated by my lack of clear direction and with no idea what my Big Dream was.

• I’ve been the woman who poured all her energy and heart into other people’s ideas, businesses, and endeavors, only to wonder when circumstances would make it possible to pursue something near and dear to my own heart. I’d wonder: When is it going to be MY time?

• I had plenty of those dark nights of the soul where I worried life was passing me by while I was trying to figure things out…and wished more than anything I didn’t feel so alone in the process.

So how did I end up becoming the woman whose own deep desires and purpose finally came into focus?

How did I go from feeling hopelessly stuck to knowing it was time to go for it, even though I was finding my way as I went?

And how do I muster the moxie to keep going after my dreams and desires in the face of the inevitable challenges and stuff life throws at us?
