Often we resist change, hoping that it will just go away if we ignore it or avoid it. But when we can see that change is a very natural process, then we can move with, rather than against, the changes in our lives to uncover the sources of healing they hold for us.

In this episode, Carol shares her own story of deep transition and how her experiences became the roots of the Seasons of Change, her natural model of transition.
