Where are you actually stuck?
Most women I talk to are stuck in one of four ways: running on empty, busy but not moving, between chapters, or doing the wrong thing really well. Twenty quick statements will tell you which one is yours, and what to do next.
Where should I send it?
You will get the PDF right away, plus four short emails over the next couple of weeks to help you actually use it. Unsubscribe whenever you like. I do not share your address with anyone, ever.
The four patterns
Most people recognize themselves before they finish reading this list. That is normal, and you should still take the assessment. The one you recognize and the one you score are not always the same, and the gap between them is usually the useful part.
Find out which one is yours.
You’re not out of ideas. You’re out of fuel. The weekend does not touch it anymore. Sleep does not touch it. And the thought of one more thing landing on your plate makes you want to lie down on the floor of your office.
Running on empty
Your calendar is full and your career is not going anywhere. You’re the person everyone relies on and nobody is developing. You’re doing an enormous amount of work that will never show up on a resume.
Busy, not moving
The chapter you were in is over, or nearly. The next one has not announced itself. You are technically free, and it feels less like freedom than like standing in a hallway waiting for a door to open.
Between chapters
You’re good at this. People tell you so, often. And every step up moves you further from the work you actually wanted to do. Competence has quietly become the trap.
The wrong thing, done well
How it works
Twenty statements. You tick the ones that are true right now. Not the ones that were true three years ago, and not the ones you wish were true. You add up four columns. The highest column is your pattern.
It is self-scored, on purpose. Nothing gets submitted, analyzed, or run through an algorithm. There is no results page and no personality type waiting at the end. You keep your answers, and I never see them (unless you share).
Print it or open it somewhere you can tick boxes.
Fifteen honest minutes.
What the assessment gives you
Each pattern has its own page. It names what is actually happening, what usually does not work and why you keep trying it anyway, and what to do now. Not a five-year plan. The next move.
The last page is the one I care most about. It lays out four honest options for what to do with what you find. Coaching. A retreat. Therapy. Or a good friend and some time. Two of those are things I offer and two of them are not, and I tell you plainly when it is one of the other two.
And if you tick four or fewer statements, the assessment says so, and tells you that honestly, maybe nothing is wrong. That page exists because sometimes that is the true answer.
What this isn’t
It’s not a personality test. You’re not a type, and you won’t be one when you are done.
It is not a diagnosis. It describes patterns in your circumstances, never conditions in you. I’m not qualified to do the second thing and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
It’s not a sales pitch in a costume. You will know by page ten whether I’m the right next step, and I would rather you find out for free than find out on a call.

I am Jessica Flagg. Since 2002, I’ve been working as an internal corporate marketing communications partner with business and HR teams, which mostly meant sitting with people at the exact moment their work stopped making sense to them. Some of them were exhausted. Some were stalled. Some were between chapters and would not say so out loud. This assessment came out of the four conversations I kept having over and over.
