About this listen
Have you ever felt stuck—literally or figuratively?
We’ve all been there: trapped in a frustrating limbo, asking ourselves, “Why is this happening to me?” But what if I told you that those “stuck” moments are exactly where God plants His greatest lessons? STUCK takes you on a chaotic, exhausting, and surprisingly transformative journey: ten days stranded in an airport that turned into a masterclass in faith, patience, and finding purpose in the midst of chaos.
Inside this audiobook, you’ll discover:
• How to find purpose in the waiting – because God’s timing is never a mistake, but preparation for something greater.
• What to do when your plans fall apart – and how to trust that every closed door is part of a divine design.
• Practical lessons in patience and gratitude – when all you have is time and the assurance that God is still in control.
• How God uses people on your path – from strangers to angels in disguise, they’re all part of His plan.
• Why the Bible isn’t just a book, but your daily survival guide – even when it’s buried in your checked luggage.... and MUCH MORE!
With heartfelt reflections, humour, and profound spiritual truths, this book shows you that life’s detours aren’t punishments—they’re tools God uses to shape you and draw you closer to Him.
If you’re ready to laugh, reflect, and see how God works even in life’s delays, click “Buy Now” and start this journey with me!
Because sometimes, being stuck isn’t a mistake...it’s exactly where you need to be.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Unique Experience, unexpected lessons
I picked this up out of curiosity, and it turned out to be such a unique and thought-provoking read. The author takes what could have been just a frustrating situation and turns it into an insightful journey about patience, adaptability, and faith. Each lesson felt relatable, and I found myself reflecting on how I handle unexpected detours in life.

A Faith-Filled Reminder That Detours Have Purpose
This audiobook really made me reflect. We all have those moments where we feel stuck or frustrated — and this story about being stranded at an airport for ten days turns that idea completely on its head. Instead of focusing on the inconvenience, it reveals how those moments are often where God teaches us the most. I was reminded of a time years ago when I missed a shuttle after a company conference in 100-degree heat. I was frustrated, tired, and ready to give up on the day until I realized the CEO had also missed the shuttle. We ended up walking those two miles together, and that conversation changed my career path more than any meeting ever could. I would have never chosen that moment, but it ended up being a blessing I couldn’t have planned. This audiobook is filled with stories like that, where delay turns into direction and discomfort into wisdom. The spiritual insights are powerful, and the reminders about patience, gratitude, and trusting God's plan couldn’t have come at a better time. If you’ve ever wondered why something was happening to you, this book helps you see it as something happening for you instead.

UNIQUE, HONEST, AND SURPRISINGLY INSPIRING
This one really caught me off guard—in a good way. It’s not just about being stuck in an airport (though that part is wild), it’s about the life lessons that came from the experience. The author keeps it real about the stress and uncertainty, but also finds humor and meaning in the chaos. I liked how each day brought a different takeaway, from patience to problem-solving to just letting go. The narration feels personal, almost like a journal. If you enjoy reflective, real-life stories with heart, give this a listen.

“STUCK! is an incredibly eye-opening audiobook that made me reflect deeply on my own life. What I love most about it are the reflections woven into each lesson. They’re not just stories but powerful insights that make you pause and think about the things we often take for granted.
Listening to this book made me realize how fortunate most of us are, yet we tend to overlook our blessings. The author’s journey through uncertainty, stress, and faith is both humbling and inspiring. The narration is engaging, making it easy to stay immersed from start to finish.
This audiobook is more than just a story—it’s a reminder to appreciate what we have and find strength in adversity.

God is in charge.
I learned how to try to slow down, stop and listen to God in order to find his peace. The book had good stories to show how I could better apply experiences in my life to follow God's will.

See what isn't always obvious
It's not your typical self-help book, that's for sure. The author's experience of being stuck in an airport for ten days is pretty crazy, and she uses that as a way to talk about bigger things like faith and patience. And there's a lot of humor mixed in, which I appreciated because sometimes you just need to laugh at the ridiculousness of life.
What I took away from it was this idea that maybe those times when things fall apart or you feel like you're in limbo aren't just bad luck. The author talks about how she started to see those moments as opportunities for God to teach her something, even if it's not obvious at the time.
