Ep. 160 How to Navigate Feeling Stuck, Unfulfilled, or Behind in Life | Ask Me Anything
Mon Jan 12 2026
In this episode, I’m trying something new.
This is the first Ask Me Anything episode under the new 2026 format, and I’m answering real, anonymous questions submitted on Instagram.
I talk about how to navigate the gap between the life you imagined and the life you’re living. I walk through how I use the STEAR model to separate neutral facts from the stories we tell ourselves, and how unexamined thoughts can quietly turn grief into suffering.
I also answer questions about feeling stuck, fulfillment in your career, redefining success, and one belief I had to unlearn in order to truly help others.
If you have a question you’d like answered in a future Ask Me Anything episode, I invite yours today. Send me a DM @jessicasmarro on Instagram or Facebook, or send your questions to jessica@jessicasmarro.com. Your question might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
