    Change is Strange: Embracing Life's Plot Twists

    Change is Strange: Embracing Life's Plot Twists

    When change comes knocking, do you find yourself hesitating to answer?
    Hey, you're not alone!
    That's why this episode is all about change – that inevitable part of life that has a knack for leaving us feeling stuck.
    Listen as I take a deep dive into the psychology of change, unravelling why it can feel like such a head-scratcher. I'll chat about why we resist change, even when it could lead to some serious personal growth and resilience. And let's not forget why we often hold onto the familiar for dear life when the unknown holds so much potential.
    So, tune in now for some strategies on kicking fear of change to the curb and practical tips for getting prepped, taking action, and sticking to it.
    But wait, there's more! I'll also share a story about an incredible couple I had the privilege of working with and how through embracing change they found their way back to each other.
    And speaking of unexpected blessings, I've got a personal story to share too. It's about a tough situation that shook up my family – one that demanded change, action, and acceptance. But you know what? That sh%t stick delivered an unexpected gift that keeps on giving to this day.
