Forty Conversations Later: What Season One Taught Me About Getting Unstuck (Ep 141) 

Notes

Season One may be wrapping up, but the conversation is just getting started.

After forty episodes of honest conversations with inspiring women, Kathy steps back to reflect on the themes that emerged again and again throughout the season. From reinvention and resilience to community, courage, and the power of taking one small step, these conversations revealed that getting unstuck isn’t about avoiding life’s quicksand; it’s about learning how to navigate it.

Kathy also shares her own answers to the Quicksand Three questions for the first time, gives listeners a preview of what’s coming in Season Two, introduces her new Substack, and talks about how listeners can help grow the Surfing the Quicksand community.
