5 Ways to Navigate Change More Confidently


Hi Reader

Change. It’s the one constant in life, and yet, it’s something we naturally resist. Even good changes can feel uncomfortable when the future is uncertain.

Over the years, I’ve experienced plenty of change from evolving my podcast, to caregiving for my mom, and the aftermath of surviving a financial upheaval that had us moving across the state with no idea what was next. You can be sure much of it wasn't welcome, but the only way out is through.

What I’ve learned is you don’t have to love change to learn how to work with it.

Here are 5 ways to embrace change and the uncertainty it brings:

1️⃣ Reframe Change as Growth – Look for what it could make possible.
2️⃣ Focus on What You Can Control – Your mindset, your next step, your self-care.
3️⃣ Approach Change in Small Steps – Break it down and give yourself time to adapt.
4️⃣ Build Your Support System – You don’t have to do it alone (it's easier with others).
5️⃣ Practice Self-Compassion – Change is messy; grace keeps you moving forward.

These steps have helped me through some of my most challenging seasons, and they can help you too.

If you’d like more details, personal stories, and examples for each step, listen to Episode 275 of the Positively Living® Podcast or read the blog version. And if you have change you're dealing with, reply to this message and share it with me. (I'm part of your #4.)

Here’s to facing change with courage, compassion, and curiosity.

Hi Reader We usually think of productivity as a good thing, something to strive for and something to be proud of, and as a coach specializing in that, I agree! It often is just that. As with most things in life, however, there is a duality. Productivity can be supportive and freeing, but it can also turn into something that harms us. If you’ve ever felt like productivity was not working for you, or even made life harder, you are not imagining it. The truth is that productivity becomes...

Hi Reader If you're like me, you have the best of intentions when it comes to planning out self-care. You promise yourself you'll do things like journal, walk, or hydrate and you are so excited to start! But let me ask you this...have you made that self-care plan only to watch it fall apart as soon as life got busy? One urgent deadline, one bad night of sleep, and suddenly all those good intentions disappear along with any benefits the self-care had to offer. Ugh. The reason this happens is...

Hi Reader Ever had one of those days where the checklist is complete (we’ve read the emails, done the laundry, completed the errands, finished the projects) and yet, somehow, you still feel unsatisfied? Conversely, you may have had a day where not much gets done on paper (that poor checklist goes largely unchecked) yet you end it feeling fulfilled? (You don’t think you should but you can’t help it because what you did was meaningful to you.) What’s the difference? It comes down to two sides...
