Episode #164 - The Trouble with Transitions


Listen Later

Sixes don’t struggle because life changes.

We struggle because we don’t want it to.

Transitions are happening all the time — big ones, small ones, chosen ones, and the ones we never asked for. But for Sixes, change often feels like a threat.

Not because we can’t handle it…
but because we don’t trust ourselves to.

In this episode, I explore why transitions feel so difficult for Sixes and what’s actually happening beneath the resistance.

Because the real issue isn’t the change itself.

It’s our relationship to:

  • uncertainty
  • responsibility
  • and the fear of having to decide for ourselves
  • In this episode, we explore:

    • Why Sixes resist transitions (even the ones we want)
    • The difference between wanting change and accepting it
    • How discomfort gets misinterpreted as something “wrong”
    • Why we avoid confronting what’s actually ours to do
    • The role of fear, self-trust, and internal authority in moving forward
    • What it means to build capacity instead of waiting to feel ready
    • This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for life to feel safe…

      …and start building the ability to meet it as it is.

      A question to take with you:

      What transition am I resisting right now?
