Though I like to keep things mixed up, change is hard! Especially those big, life-altering changes--they can send me into a spiral of emotions. My guest today is Gina Butz, author of the new book, "Making Peace With Change: Navigating Life's Messy Transitions with Honesty and Grace." We talk about why we compare ourselves to others when change is stressing us out, how to be real with God about how we feel about change, and how to endure seasons where change overwhelms us! Great encouragement if your in the midst of change right now--or if you see change ahead!
