Stop feeling
STUCK.
Start building
your life.
escape STUCK™ is a 9-week roadmap to help you build the confidence, clarity and practical skills to create a life of real independence.
“What am I actually supposed to do with my life?”
Maybe everyone expects you to know where you're going. But nobody ever gave you a roadmap for how to get there.
You don't need to have your entire future figured out. You need a way to make the next right move.
But the roadmap changed.
College. Career. Home. Retirement. The milestones are familiar—but the path to reaching them is changing.
Tuition keeps rising. Is the degree worth the time and cost?
AI is changing careers—and the skills employers need.
Homeownership feels farther away. High costs make independence harder to reach.
The old financial roadmap feels less certain. Building independence starts much earlier.
STUCK
is a pattern.
And patterns can change.
STUCK can look like fear, procrastination, confusion, comparison, overwhelm, people-pleasing or waiting until you feel ready.
escape STUCK™ helps you recognize the pattern— then make the next move.
Real independence isn't one skill.
It's what happens when you learn how to lead yourself, choose your direction and understand your money.
Self-Mastery
Understand what's keeping you stuck. Build confidence, boundaries and stronger decisions.
Career Clarity
Explore your strengths, direction and next moves without treating your future like one permanent decision.
Financial Literacy
Understand money well enough to make stronger choices and move toward real independence.
You don't cross 10,000 miles in one paddle.
You move one paddle at a time.
Discover yourself, your strengths and your direction.
Build your path through education, work and money.
Own your future and start making your move.
9 weeks. 27 LionUP® checkpoints. One journey toward greater independence.

It all happens in your mind.
We all move through different mental states. Some days you're clear and moving. Other days you're overwhelmed, unsure or stuck.
The goal isn't to never struggle. It's to recognize where you are sooner— and know how to move yourself forward.
Do the work.
From waiting for life to happen → to leading it.
escape STUCK™ isn't about becoming a different person. It's about becoming more capable of directing the life that's yours.
I'm Yakira Yedidia.
I don't believe young adults need another person telling them exactly what to do with their lives.
They need the tools to learn how to lead their own.
For more than 25 years, I've worked in education, mentoring and creative leadership. I'm a mother of three Gen Z daughters, an author, educator, coach and the founder of LionUP®.
My own path to independence wasn't handed to me. I left my home and country with $600 and learned, step by step, that clarity doesn't always come before action. Often, we build clarity because we begin moving.
escape STUCK™ brings those lessons into a practical roadmap designed to help the next generation build confidence, capability and ownership of their lives.
You can't build their independence for them.
But you can give them a roadmap that helps them build it themselves.
If you've been watching your young adult struggle with confidence, direction, motivation, money or the transition into adulthood, the instinct is often to step in and solve.
But independence isn't built by having every obstacle removed. It's built by developing the skills to navigate obstacles.
escape STUCK™ gives them a structured journey they can own: tools, language and practical steps for learning how to move forward.
Your role doesn't have to be rescuer.You can become the guide.
