You’re sitting at a red light on your way to your kid’s baseball game, thinking about everything you still need to do today. And then it hits you: *Why do I feel so stuck in this life?*

You love your family. You’re grateful for what you have. But you miss having time for yourself, seeing your friends, reading a book, or doing something that isn’t another responsibility.

You can love the life you’ve built and still miss parts of yourself.

I wrote about that feeling in my latest blog, including why wanting something more doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful for what you already have.

I also created **FULFILLED: A Good Girl’s Guide to Living Life on Her Own Terms**, a guided journal for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves and make room for what matters to them.

I've been working on this for a while, and I'm excited to finally share a first look.

FULFILLED grew out of my work as a therapist and my belief that you deserve to live a life you love, beyond what you've been taught to want.

It's a guided journal about letting go of expectations that no longer fit and creating a life that feels like your own.

More soon.

Ever make a pros and cons list, ask three people for advice, and somehow end up just as confused as when you started?

Sometimes, you aren't struggling to make a decision. You're struggling to figure out what *you* actually want when there's so much to consider.

Especially when you're used to considering everyone else, choosing the practical option, or making sure you can defend your decision if someone questions it.

Eventually, you have to make room for a question that doesn't always have a neat, logical answer: What do I want?

You don't have to ignore the practical considerations or stop caring about other people. You just get to include yourself in the decision, too.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t making the decision.
It’s figuring out which voice you’re listening to when you make it.
Your own?
Your family’s?
Everyone else’s?
Therapy can be a place to sort through that.

Sometimes indecision isn’t about not knowing yourself.
Sometimes you know exactly what you want. The problem is that you want two things that ask different things of you.
More money and more freedom.
A bigger career and more time at home.
Adventure and stability.
A relationship that feels familiar and a relationship that continues to grow.
That can make a decision harder because there isn’t always one obvious answer.
You may have to decide what matters most right now—and which tradeoffs you’re actually willing to make.
That’s different from not knowing what you want.

There are some decisions you can think about for weeks and still not know what you want.
Sometimes the pressure to figure it out becomes part of the problem.
You start looking for the answer that will make everyone happy, eliminate all risk, and guarantee you won’t regret your choice later.
That’s a lot to ask from one decision.
Sometimes you need more time. More information. More experience with yourself.
You don’t have to turn uncertainty into a problem that needs to be solved immediately.
You can be undecided while you figure out what matters to you.

A little introduction if you’re new here.

I’m Leah, a therapist and clinical supervisor licensed in Texas, Missouri, and New York. I’m also a Texas LPC-S and LMFT-S, providing supervision to LPC Associates and LMFT Associates across Texas.

Around here, we talk about what happens when you’ve done all the things you were supposed to do, built a life that looks successful, and start wondering whether it’s actually the life you want.

You’ll find conversations about:

* Career burnout and figuring out what you want next
* The pressure to be the capable one who has it all handled
* Changing your mind about a life you’ve worked hard to build
* Getting out of autopilot and making choices that feel more like your own

I also share about clinical work, supervision, and building a professional life with intention.

My approach is thoughtful, practical, and occasionally a little blunt. Because you can appreciate the life you’ve built and still want something different.

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. Follow along.

You don't have to have a perfectly formed question before you bring something to supervision.

Sometimes you just know a session didn't go the way you expected. Maybe the client responded differently than you thought they would. Maybe you left wondering whether you handled something well. Maybe you can't quite put your finger on what's bothering you about the case.

Bring it anyway.

We can talk through what happened and figure out what you were actually getting stuck on.

You don't have to do all of that thinking before you walk into supervision. That's part of what you're there for.

I provide clinical supervision for Texas LPC Associates and LMFT Associates.
