Play the Episode
Have you ever felt like you're being called toward something new, but you can't quite name it yet?
You know something is changing.
You know something no longer fits.
But every time you try to force clarity, nothing comes.
In this episode, Vickie Dickson explores the uncomfortable space between identities. The place where the old version of you is no longer a fit, but the new version hasn't fully emerged.
From shifting businesses and changing relationships to content that suddenly feels stale, Vickie shares why so many entrepreneurs are feeling untethered right now and why that might not be a problem to solve.
Together, we'll explore the pressure to have all the answers, the exhaustion many entrepreneurs are experiencing, the myth of the "quantum leap," and what it really means to trust yourself through periods of uncertainty and transformation. Based on reflections from a recent Designed to Profit training and Vickie's own experiences navigating major life and business decisions, this episode is an invitation to stop performing certainty and start listening to what is trying to emerge.
