From Stuck to Hell Yeah

From Doubt to Direction: How I Helped a Client Go From Years Lost to “Hell Yeah!” in 75 Minutes

By Dr. Scott Zarcinas, Founder, 818: Unlocking Your Life

Steve came to me after decades of feeling lost.

He’d seen therapists (who couldn’t/didn’t help). Read the self-help books. Tried all the usual things. But nothing stuck. Nothing shifted.

He said, “I feel directionless. I’ve wasted years.”

Underneath he had a deep frustration because he knew he had more to give. He just couldn’t find the way forward.

He wasn’t unmotivated. He wasn’t lazy. He had the discipline.

But he was exhausted from trying to figure everything out on his own.

He’d read the books. Done the courses. Followed all the advice.

And yet, there he was—still stuck. Still second-guessing himself. Still afraid of making the wrong move.

The Real Problem Wasn’t Clarity—It Was Inner Conflict

What I’ve learned in over two decades of coaching is this:

Most people lack drive and direction because they’re afraid to trust themselves. They lack self-belief.

Steve had plenty of ideas. He had dreams tucked away in mental drawers marked “too risky,” “too late,” or “not realistic.”

What he lacked wasn’t options—it was permission.

  • Permission to want what he really wanted.
  • Permission to stop proving himself to others.
  • Permission to stop “should-ing” himself into a life that looked good but felt empty.

The Shift: A 75-Minute Reset

In our 75-minute Reset Session, I guided Steve through a framework I’ve developed to help people like him reconnect with their deeper self (I call this ‘The 3 Pillars of Self Mastery’).

Here’s the arc of his transformation:

1. Recognise (Identity)

We uncovered the loudest doubts running the show. The subconscious scripts he identified himself with, like:
– “I’ll never figure this out.”
– “It’s selfish to want more.”
– “I’m just not good enough.”

Just seeing those stories he was telling himself every day for years and years—naming them—was a release in itself.

2. Realign (Purpose)

We brought Steve back to what mattered. I asked,

“If you removed the false beliefs about who you think you are, who would you be excited to become?”

That one question opened a floodgate. He lit up.

There it was, clarity. Just beneath the surface. Buried not by confusion, but by fear.

3. Reignite (Conviction)

With that new alignment, we explored what small step he could take this week—not to fix everything, but enough to maintain the clarity he just uncovered.

By the end of the session, he wasn’t doubting anymore. He was saying things like:

“This feels like me.”
“I finally feel clear.”
“Hell yeah, I’m doing this.”


The Power of YOU!

Why This Works (and Fast)

People don’t need more advice. They need a space where they feel safe enough to drop the masks and reconnect with their inner knowing.

That’s what this Reset Session offers:
✅ A clear process.
✅ A fast win.
✅ A safe container to rediscover your true self.


Looking For a Life Coach?

From Stuck to Unstoppable

If you’re where Steve was—navigating doubt, stuck in indecision, chasing goals that don’t feel like yours—this is your sign.

You don’t have to overhaul your whole life.  You don’t need 10 more years of overthinking. You don’t need a 12-month program (yet).

You just need one powerful hour of clarity to get moving again. You need one powerful conversation that brings you back to yourself.

Your future isn’t waiting for you to have all the answers. It’s waiting for you to start asking the right questions.

Let’s do that together.



Why I Created This Session

I created the 75-Minute Reset Session because I’ve been there—living a life that looked great on paper but felt wrong inside.

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients who had “success” but still felt stuck, lost, or just not themselves.

And I’ve seen what happens when they stop to reconnect.

They don’t just feel better—they start living better.

Not by throwing everything out, but by choosing what’s true for them:

  1. Resetting their priorities.
  2. Realigning with their purpose.
  3. Reigniting their passion.

It isn’t rocket surgery. But it starts with a choice. A choice to reclaim your life: to reset what really matters, to realign with your ‘why’, to reignite your passion.
