Dates, Mates and Babies with the Vallottons

130. How to Handle the Disorientation of a New Season


Listen Later

Every new season brings change—and with it, a sense of disorientation. As human beings, we’re wired for stability and rhythm, so even good change can feel uncomfortable at first. The question isn’t whether change will shake us, but how we walk through it without losing our footing.

In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton share practical wisdom for navigating transitions with grace, humor, and hope. From their own stories of job changes and parenting milestones, they remind us that adjustment takes time (sometimes at least two weeks!), and that flexibility is key when fear tempts us to tighten up.

They explore:

  • Why it’s normal to feel unsettled in the middle of change.

  • The “two-week rule” that helps reframe transitions.

  • How fear can make us rigid—and why flexibility matters most during change.

  • The importance of limiting how much newness you introduce at one time.

  • Guarding connection with your spouse and close relationships so disorientation doesn’t drive disconnection.

  • How leaning into God brings clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose for each season.

If you’ve ever felt unsettled in the face of change, this conversation will remind you: disorientation is temporary, and you don’t have to walk through it alone.
