Change is not only a constant in our lives, it also tends to be charged with many emotions. Nearly all change can be unsettling. This mixed bag of emotions can be difficult to navigate. The challenge becomes even greater when we experience negative changes, or changes caused by an unexpected event. What makes it so hard is the feeling of loss that comes with change and the fear of losing friends, access to places, moments, and much more. 

In today's episode, we explore how to build change resilience. We propose reflecting to evaluate what changes affected us recently and how we managed our responses to these life shifts. We’ll also talk about Bill Bridges' fantastic tool, The Transition Model, and how it can help us be resilient in change. Using this tool, we’ll identify which one of the three stages of change we are in, giving us more clarity on what we can do now and what to expect in the future.
