Stuck Between the Promise and the Payoff? How to Survive the Stretch Season

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right — but the breakthrough still isn’t here?
Like life is almost aligning… but you’re stuck in the middle? That space is called The Stretch Season — and it’s uncomfortable, humbling, and necessary.

In this raw and relatable solo episode, Hazel Brown, host of It’s the Human Experience, gets vulnerable about what it looks like to be in the in-between — where the doors are cracking open, but the full promise hasn’t shown up… yet.

Inside This Episode:

✔ What it means to be stuck between the promise and the payoff
✔ How to know you're in a Stretch Season — and why you shouldn't rush it
✔ The danger of “playing for crumbs” when you were called for the whole loaf
✔ Why building quietly, observing, and aligning matters more than public validation
✔ How exposure to people further ahead isn't rejection — it’s preparation
✔ The power of staying planted in faith when impatience creeps in
✔ Why being the student in the room can unlock your next season

Hazel opens up about the silent struggles of entrepreneurship, faith, and learning how to stretch into your next level — without forcing the timing. If you're feeling stuck, stretched, or like you're behind, this episode is your reminder: You're exactly where you're supposed to be.
