Why You Feel Stuck — And What’s Actually Keeping You There w/ Jim Curtis

Episode Description from the Publisher

Why do we keep repeating the same patterns even when we can see them clearly? And what’s actually keeping us stuck? Transformational coach and author Jim Curtis joins Molly and Emese to talk about why getting unstuck isn’t about more hustle or willpower — it’s about releasing the fears and limiting beliefs that keep us frozen, aligning with what we actually want, and becoming the person who can create the life we want. Jim shares why fear is “protection, not a prophecy,” how worthiness and safety shape so much of what we chase, and why even highly successful people can struggle with feeling like they’re not enough. Plus, Jim hypnotizes Molly live, shares his simple “happiness toolkit,” explains why closing our emotional “open loops” can help us move forward, and offers advice on knowing when it’s time to fight for a relationship — or let it go. Jim’s new book, The Book of Possibility, is out September 1.
