The Truth About Clarity: Why You Feel Stuck (And How to Move Forward Without All The Answers)
By Katie Joy, The Global Butterfly
Have you ever found yourself hovering in that strange in-between space — no longer who you were, but not quite sure who you're becoming?
You feel something shifting. You know something’s rising.
And yet… everything feels foggy. Unclear. Suspended.
You’ve done the journaling.
You’ve meditated.
You’ve prayed for a sign.
But clarity hasn’t come in the way you expected.
I want you to know something — something I need you to hear with your whole heart:
You are not broken. And your uncertainty is not a problem.
Let’s dismantle a belief that’s keeping too many purpose-driven souls like you stuck:
The idea that you must have full clarity before you can take aligned action.
Because here’s the truth...
Clarity is often the result of movement — not the prerequisite.
The Lie That Clarity Comes First
We’ve been conditioned to believe that clarity is a perfectly packaged download that arrives one morning, tied with a bow, telling you exactly what to do, when to do it, and how it’ll all work out.
But real life?
Soul-led life?
It doesn’t work that way.
Especially for those of us who are visionaries, healers, space holders, light leaders…
We’re not here to follow a cookie-cutter path.
We’re here to forge one.
And forging a path is messy. It’s uncertain. It’s wildly courageous.
So if you’re feeling like you’re floating — between goals, between identities, between choices — I want to invite you to see it differently:
👉 What if your ‘stuckness’ is sacred?
👉 What if not knowing is your soul asking you to listen deeper — not push harder?
👉 What if confusion is just clarity in the process of being born?
This Isn’t a Pause. It’s a Portal.
Inside my Soul Goal Mapping Challenge, we go deep.
Those who’ve experienced it often describe it as a complete energetic shift — like remembering who they truly are beneath the noise.
But whether you’ve just come out of a breakthrough container like that — or you’ve recently had a big realisation on your own — there’s often a strange dip that follows…
The high starts to wear off.
You get dropped back into the hum of everyday life…
And suddenly the vision feels further away.
The clarity starts to blur.
And you begin to question, “Did I even have a breakthrough at all?”
Let me reassure you with love and truth:
YES, you did.
And now you’re integrating it.
Integration doesn’t always feel inspiring. It can feel dull, confusing, frustrating.
But this phase?
This is where your soul is digesting the vision.
Not for inspiration — but for embodiment.
You’re not lost.
You’re landing.
Why Feeling “Stuck” Is Actually a Sign You’re Growing
Confusion is a signal.
Not that something’s wrong…
But that something new is trying to emerge.
It means your current identity, structures, and inner wiring are being stretched.
Your nervous system is catching up with your soul’s vision.
The old ways don’t fit anymore — but the new ones haven’t fully formed.
That’s why it feels like standing in the hallway between two doors.
And here’s the magic:
The hallway is part of the path.
You’re being refined.
Recalibrated.
Reawakened.
What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do
Here’s the question I get asked the most (especially after a powerful activation or deep inner shift):
“Katie, how do I take the next step when I don’t know what it is?”
This is where I offer the real gold.
Because it’s not about the perfect plan.
It’s about your energy. Your alignment. Your frequency.
So here’s what I suggest:
✨ 1. Ask a better question:
Instead of “What’s my next big step?” try asking:
“What’s the next right aligned step for me today?”
Big visions are made of micro-movements.
One small, intuitive step — even if it’s just journaling or creating space — activates the momentum your soul is craving.
✨ 2. Let clarity find you through action:
Don’t wait for certainty before you move.
Move gently. With curiosity.
Clarity arrives in motion, like a fog that lifts with each step you take.
As I always say in The Awakened Soul Program:
The path reveals itself when you start walking.
✨ 3. Ground yourself in soul-aligned practices:
Come back to the GGA Method — Gratitude, Gains, and Appreciation.
These are not just “nice things to write in a journal” — they are frequency activators.
When you engage in this practice, you elevate your energy, stabilise your nervous system, and attune yourself to soul-led clarity.
And when you’re energetically aligned — the answers don’t need to be forced.
They simply arrive.
You Don’t Need All The Answers — You Just Need a Soul-Aligned Relationship With the Unknown
This season is not a test.
It’s a tuning.
And just because you don’t see the whole staircase doesn’t mean your next step isn’t lit.
Let me offer you this reframe:
What if “I don’t know” is actually “I’m being shown”?
You don’t need to figure it all out today.
You just need to trust that your soul is already guiding you toward your next highest alignment.
Every empowered decision I’ve made in my life and business — every breakthrough, every transformation — came from being in that exact space you’re in now.
That void feeling?
It’s not emptiness.
It’s possibility.
