Show Notes:

I’m not sure where you are at in your world right now – maybe you feel like you are totally killing it…maybe you feel like you’re drowning. Maybe you are somewhere in the in-between. As for me – I am in this weird and uncertain and beautiful stage of change and transition. I know that change can be scary for a lot of people, myself included, for sure. But this stage, I’m finding myself embracing it – reveling in it, actually. And as I have been working through this in my own life, I am aware that this is something we all go through and I thought we could spend the next few weeks talking about stages of life, adjusting to meet the changing moments, and working to re-align ourselves each and every time to work at being the people we want to be.

Stages of life are kind of funny to me. We all know they happen – that we ebb and flow between stages where we feel really capable and on top of things, to a time where we feel tired and lagging, to stages of insecurity and anxious uncertainty, back to stages of being our best selves. We have felt them. We see them clearly when we look back and recognize in hindsight that we were working through something challenging there, or were in a highlight phase of our lives back when… Yet, despite knowing about these ebbs and flows cognitively, we often struggle to own and recognize them for what they are in the moment. We fight them, or fall victim to them. We feel caught up and struggle to see the forest for the trees. In the thick of it, we feel like it’s about us – how we aren’t good enough, strong enough, on top of it enough, intentional enough… 

During this episode, you’ll hear me share about some of my own present-day journey around stage of life transitions. About being aware and conscious in making the choices that support being in alignment with who I long to be as I see this shift happening in, under and around me. I think much of this is what we all face, and I hope we can share in it together. 

Over the coming weeks, we are going to explore together some of the ways we can claim ourselves and seek to align and re-align ourselves with who we want to be when we face changes in our stage of life. The beginning of all of these efforts though will always be the same: AWARENESS. We can’t ask good questions or be intentional in enacting an action plan, or purposefully move to align ourselves, if we lack awareness of where we’re at and what needs to happen to move us where we want to go. We can’t get found if we don’t know we’re lost. And we can’t make the most of any given stage if we’re unaware that we’re in it.
