Why You’re Doing All the Right Things… But Still Feel Stuck
By Katie Joy, The Global Butterfly

You’ve read the books.
You’ve filled journals with intentions.
You’ve made the vision boards, said the affirmations, worked with coaches, maybe even dabbled in breathwork, meditation, or manifestation rituals.

And yet, here you are… still stuck.

You’re showing up. You’re doing everything right.
But the results? They’re underwhelming.
Your energy feels scattered. Your progress feels painfully slow. And worst of all — a quiet voice inside whispers:

“Is it even working?”

Let me reassure you: You are not alone. In fact, almost every high-achieving woman I’ve ever coached — from soul-led entrepreneurs to heart-centred healers, from women rising after heartbreak to women shifting careers — has come to me at some point asking this exact same question.

And here’s what I’ve learned after more than two decades in this transformational space:
It’s not that you’re doing the wrong things.
It’s that you’re doing the right things… from the wrong energy.

Let me explain.

You Can’t Out-Achieve Misalignment

Let’s drop the idea that more action will magically get you “there.”
Because here’s the truth no one talks about enough:

You can’t outwork misaligned energy.

If your actions are rooted in fear, comparison, doubt, unprocessed trauma, or a need to prove your worth — no amount of hustle, journaling, or high-vibe quotes will shift your external reality in the long run.

Because the problem isn’t what you’re doing.
The real issue is who you’re being while you do it.

I call this energetic misalignment. And it’s the #1 hidden reason I see beautiful, driven women hit the same walls over and over again.

Let me paint a picture for you.

The Illusion of Progress (And Why It Feels Like You’re Spinning)

Imagine you’re rowing a boat. You’ve got the right oars, you’re facing the direction of your dream island, and you’re rowing like your life depends on it.

But under the surface… there’s a heavy anchor still dragging behind you.
You can’t see it — but you can feel it.

That feeling? That’s what energetic misalignment feels like.
Like you’re doing all the right things, but going nowhere fast.

Here are some telltale signs:

• You have big dreams but feel exhausted trying to make them happen.

• You second-guess your decisions constantly, afraid of making the “wrong” move.

• You’re hyper-productive but spiritually drained.

• You’ve “done the work,” but your external results don’t match your inner desires.

• You crave clarity and momentum, but feel like your energy is fragmented and foggy.

Sound familiar?

Why Traditional Goal Setting Isn’t Enough

Most of the traditional personal development world teaches that success is linear:

1. Set the goal.

2. Make the plan.

3. Take the action.

4. Get the results.

But the Soul doesn’t work that way.

Your soul-aligned goals don’t come from the mind — they arise from a deeper truth.
They whisper. They call. They ask for surrender, not just strategy.

And if you’re trying to force your way forward using only masculine “push” energy without balancing it with feminine intuition, alignment, and energetic clarity…

You’re going to burn out. Or worse — achieve the goal but still feel empty inside.

That’s what happened to me years ago.
Before I became The Global Butterfly.
Before the GGA™ Method. Before The Awakened Soul Program. Before I taught others how to bridge the gap between “woo” and strategy...

I was a high-performing paramedic, ticking all the boxes, but spiritually exhausted and emotionally disconnected.
It wasn’t until I let go of what I thought I was “supposed” to do — and aligned with what I was called to do — that things began to shift.

The Real Missing Link: Alignment

When your energy is aligned, things feel clearer, faster, lighter.
Opportunities begin to find you.
Synchronicities increase.
Decisions come from clarity, not fear.
And your goals — the soul-aligned ones — manifest with ease and flow.

That doesn’t mean you’ll never face challenges.
But it does mean you’ll move through them with your energy, not against it.

So how do we get back into alignment?

We audit our energy.

The Energy Audit: Pinpoint Where Your Energy Is Leaking

If you’re feeling off-track, unclear, or stuck, you don’t need another planner or another productivity hack.

You need to look under the surface.

✨ Where is your energy being drained?
✨ What patterns, thoughts, or beliefs are quietly sabotaging you?
✨ Where are you saying “yes” when your Soul is screaming “no”?
✨ Where are you trying to force things that are no longer aligned?

That’s why I created the Energy Audit — a powerful self-reflection tool that helps you:

• Identify your hidden energetic leaks

• Bring unconscious patterns into the light

• Restore clarity, connection, and alignment

• Reclaim your power and take action from a grounded, soul-aligned place

And the best part? It’s totally free. (Because I believe clarity is your birthright.)

Your next breakthrough might be one realignment away.

Realign, Reclaim, Rise

So if you’ve been wondering why your vision board isn’t manifesting…
Why your 6-figure goal feels so far away…
Or why, despite all the mindset work, you still feel like something’s missing…

Here’s what I want you to know:

💜 You are not broken.
💜 You are not behind.
💜 You are simply being invited to realign.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about shifting your energy.
From forcing to flowing.
From proving to receiving.
From doing to BEING.

This is the work we do together inside the Soul Goal Mapping Challenge.
And if your soul is nodding right now — if your heart is whispering yes — then I’d love to invite you to take the next step.

What Happens When You Align Your Energy

Let me share what I’ve seen unfold time and time again for my clients, once they begin this energetic recalibration:

🌟 They stop hustling and start magnetising aligned opportunities
🌟 They reclaim their clarity, their courage, and their confidence
🌟 They finally feel seen, safe, and supported — not just in business, but in LIFE
🌟 They stop waiting for permission and start trusting their vision
🌟 They begin to live from joy, not obligation — from inspiration, not fear

And it all starts with awareness.
With taking a breath, tuning in, and asking:
“Where is my energy leaking? And what am I ready to shift?”

If you’re ready to go deeper, and map goals that truly honour your soul… then keep your eyes peeled for my upcoming Soul Goal Mapping Challenge. (Or hop on the waitlist now.)

You’re Not Meant to Push Through… You’re Meant to Align and Rise

You were never meant to push through burnout, hustle harder, or sacrifice your well-being for “success.”

You were born to align with your truth,
to activate your soul-led vision,
and to manifest with clarity and ease.

And that begins the moment you stop asking, “What more do I need to do?”
And start asking, “Who do I need to BE to receive what I truly desire?”

The Energy Audit will help you find the answer.

Because clarity isn’t found in doing more — it’s found in aligning more deeply with your truth.

With love and alignment,
