If You Feel Stuck, You’re in the Right Place (April 13, 2026)

As I sit here on a Monday, just one month after turning 50, I find myself reflecting again on the story I began sharing leading up to that milestone. I waited a bit before putting these thoughts together for my blog, giving myself time to process. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the current state of athletic communications, as well as the realities facing those approaching graduation, finishing internships or graduate assistantships, and navigating the broader job search.


If You Feel Stuck, You’re in the Right Place

Most people don’t end up here because everything is going perfectly.

They end up here because something feels off.

Maybe you’re:

  • Applying for jobs and not getting responses

  • Working hard but not moving forward

  • Unsure what your next step is supposed to be

  • Or simply tired of feeling like you’re doing everything “right” with nothing to show for it

If that’s you—this space is for you.


What This Blog Is (And What It Isn’t)

This isn’t a place for empty motivation or generic advice.

You won’t find:

  • “Just follow your passion”

  • “Everything happens for a reason”

  • Or surface-level career tips that sound good but don’t actually help

What you will find here:

  • Clear ways to think about where you are

  • Honest conversations about what keeps people stuck

  • Practical frameworks you can actually use

  • And perspective that helps you move forward—not just feel better temporarily


What I Focus On

Everything here centers around one idea:

Helping you move from stuck → clear → intentional

That shows up in a few key ways:

  • Breaking down why effort isn’t always translating into results

  • Identifying where you’re relying on “workarounds” instead of real progress

  • Helping you build direction when you don’t have it yet

  • Giving you tools to approach your job search and career with purpose


Where to Start

If you’re new, start here:

  • The Survivability of Glitch Building
    → Understanding how we adapt to systems—and where that can hold us back

  • Ask: Is This Helping You Grow—Or Keeping You Stuck?
    → A simple question that exposes what’s really moving you forward


A Quick Reality Check

You don’t need more information.

You need:

  • Better clarity

  • More intentional action

  • And the willingness to confront what isn’t working

That’s what this space is built to help you do.


Stay Connected

If something here resonates with you, don’t just move on.

  • Reach out

  • Share what you’re working through

  • Or connect with me on LinkedIn

Because this isn’t just about content—it’s about helping people move forward.


Start With This

Before you leave this page, ask yourself one question:

Where in my life am I busy—but not actually moving forward?

Sit with that.

Then go find your next step.
