Welcome to None But Curious — the podcast for agnostics, nones, skeptics, and the beautifully uncertain. In this episode, host Candy Glave dives deep into that familiar, unsettling space we all encounter at some point: stagnation — when life feels flat, uninspired, or directionless. But what if feeling stuck isn’t a failure… what if it’s the prelude to growth?

Listen now to explore how moments of stillness and frustration can actually signal transformation, creativity, and new beginnings.

• What stagnation really is — psychologically, spiritually, and creatively

• Why feeling stuck is often the mind’s way of saying “you’ve outgrown this”

• Why silence and curiosity are powerful tools for inner movement

• Practical ways to rekindle inspiration and loosen the grip of stagnation

1. Make friends with silence — Sit with stillness and listen to what emerges.

2. Do a daily check-in — Notice when you feel alive vs. drained.

3. Create something small — Movement follows action, not the other way around.

4. Change your inputs — Seek new voices, places, and ideas.

5. Reconnect with your body — Move, stretch, dance, breathe.

6. Let curiosity replace control — Ask “I wonder what’s trying to happen here?”

7. See stagnation as compost — The decay of old rhythms feeds new growth.

Stagnation isn’t the end of your story—it’s an invitation to evolve. When the things that once brought meaning stop working, that silence is often where the next version of you begins to take shape. Through personal reflection, storytelling, and gentle reminders, Kandi explores how to find grace in life’s “in-between” spaces.

From a lakeside moment of calm to rediscovering painting and journaling, Candy shares how small acts of return can reignite creativity and joy. Because sometimes, getting unstuck isn’t about a grand breakthrough—it’s about a quiet homecoming to yourself.
