When You Feel Stuck: 5 Signs It’s Time for Coaching

Author: Peggy L. Ernest | Ernest Living Coaching

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right, yet going nowhere?

You pray. You plan. You push. But still… something’s not moving.
Maybe you’re not broken, maybe you’re just stuck. And being stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing, it might mean it’s time for support.

As a faith-based coach, I’ve walked with women who were strong, spiritual, and successful on the outside, but silently stagnant within. Coaching isn’t about fixing you. It’s about partnering with you so you can break through, grow deeper, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

Here are 5 signs it may be time to invite coaching into your journey:

1. You feel like you're circling the same mountain.

No matter how much you pray or plan, you keep ending up in the same emotional or spiritual space. You know there’s more, but you can’t seem to access it.

Coaching helps you identify root causes, patterns, and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in cycles.

2. You have clarity about your calling, but fear is louder than faith.

You sense what God is calling you to do, but doubts and insecurities whisper louder. You feel overwhelmed, unsure, and paralyzed by what could go wrong.

A coach walks beside you, helping you silence fear and step out in obedience and boldness.

3. You’re pouring into everyone else, but feel spiritually and emotionally empty.

You encourage others, serve faithfully, and carry a lot… but deep down, you're depleted. Your soul feels tired, and you long to be poured into too.

Coaching creates a sacred space where YOU can be seen, heard, supported, and spiritually nourished.

4. You know what you should do, but you're stuck in procrastination.

You have the vision. The passion. Maybe even the plan. But you're not executing. Something invisible is holding you back, and you don’t know how to break through.

Coaching helps you unlock momentum through accountability, mindset shifts, and purpose-driven action steps.

5. You sense God is doing something new, but you need help discerning the next step.

You feel the winds of change, but clarity hasn’t come. You're unsure whether it's time to wait, move, pivot, or release.

A coach helps you pause, pray, reflect, and move forward in alignment with God’s will, not just your willpower.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Stuck seasons are sacred spaces where God invites us to lean in and get real. If any of these signs resonated with you, I want to personally invite you to consider coaching, not as a luxury, but as an investment in the purpose, peace, and power God has already placed inside you.

Let’s journey together.
