The 'Almost' Trap

You know that feeling when everything should be fine - but it just isn’t?

You’re not miserable. You’re not failing. But you’re also not lit up.

That in-between space - the “almost” - is one of the hardest places to be.

And yet, it’s also one of the most powerful.

What’s Really Going On

You’ve built the career.
You’ve checked the boxes.
You’ve done everything “right.”

But now you’re:

• Scrolling job boards at night without applying

• Fantasizing about quitting during Monday meetings

• Wondering if you’ve outgrown the version of success you once chased

This isn’t burnout.
It’s not drama.
It’s evolution.

Why This Matters

Most high-achieving women don’t hit rock bottom - they hit almost.

And “almost” is tricky.

It’s easy to dismiss. Easy to rationalize.
But ignoring it comes at a cost:

• You stay in roles that no longer fit

• You silence the part of you that’s craving more

• You delay the version of you that’s ready to rise

That quiet discomfort?
It’s not a problem to fix.
It’s a signal to follow.

How to Start Listening to That Signal

Here’s what I recommend if you’re in the “almost”:

1. Name It
   Acknowledge what’s no longer working - without guilt or judgment.
   You’re allowed to want more, even if things are “fine.”

2. Get Curious
   Ask yourself:

• What part of me is craving change?

• What am I tolerating that I’ve outgrown?

• What would feel more aligned?

3. Take the Quiz
   I created a free tool to help you get clear on what your next chapter is really craving.
