Ever feel like you're stuck in mud?

Recently I have been feeling a little lost with what to write in these newsletters. It’s not writers block, I’ve got plenty of ideas. What’s been keeping me stuck is trying to get things ‘right’ and to create the perfect offer. Have you ever had this experience where your desire to get things just right or perfect, actually stops you from taking action and making progress? I started these newsletters in August 2025 as I wanted to have something to focus my mind out with motherhood. I started writing, then as I sent more emails I started thinking about an online business. I have an idea of what I’d like my business to look like and who I want to serve but I’m struggling to get to the crux of what my offer/the problem I solve is. This uncertainty has felt like tyres spinning in the mud. The more I try and think my way to an offer, the more the tyres spin and it feels like I get stuck deeper in the mud!! I’ve been trying so hard to get it right, that it’s stopped me from writing. I’ve found it hard to find inspired ideas and I’ve written in ways that feel like I’ve lost my own unique voice. (I told you these letters were coming from the messy phase I’m in - right now it's the mud!!) Can you relate to this experience? Is there an area in your life where you feel stuck right now too? I’m really curious, when the need to be perfect strikes? How do you overcome it? What practices do you use? The remedy I'm trying… this very newsletter. To name it, to own it and to share it with you Reader. In sharing where I am honestly, from this messy place. I hope it clears my path and if you are feeling stuck right now in any area of your life, know this: you are not alone!! I’m feeling it too. Maybe it’s the way the stars are aligned right now 🙂 ‘This too shall pass.’
A reminder for us both! And with that Reader I sign off. Sending you lots of love and some metaphorical wooden planks to drive out of the mud with!! With love and much gratitude for you. In the mud and out of it. 💛 Emma P.S. Hit reply and share the tricks you use to get unstuck. I could really do with some right now! |
