In this episode Lisa shares ideas around change and transition. 

Some people thrive in change, others really struggle with it.  Change is an event.  Transition is a psychological process with 3 phases: ending, neutral zone, new beginning.   Based on William Bridges' Transition Process Model, Lisa discusses the difference between change and transition, shares stories demonstrating the change and transition processes, and ideas on how to lessen the difficulty of change.

A deeper understanding of the impact of change (through the transition process) helps us respond to and manage this experience that happens over and over in our lives. 

Some changes are significant and may take years to go through the full transition process.  Other changes are fairly minor and we'll process them within minutes.  Keep in mind that each person processes the transitions in their lives at different paces.  Two people going through the exact same change may have very different journeys through the transition process.

Titus Mott is a friend and fellow sojourner (aka tortured soul!).  He is a huge influence in my life and the reason why I dipped my toe into the podcasting world.

This conversation with Titus is fun, meaningful, exploratory, and highlights the idea that making life less difficult doesn't need to be strenuous and isn't about making life easy.

Enjoy the listen and follow Titus on Instagram @thearthriticathlete.

Lisa share more of her story and who she is.

It can feel overwhelming to tell your story.  Where do you begin?  How much do you tell?  What events should you share and which ones shouldn't be shared?  

Everyone has a story to tell.  Everyone actually has SO many stories to tell!  Why don't you pick one of your stories and tell it to someone today!  

Stories connect us and help us know we're not alone.  And this can help make life less difficult!

Lisa spends  a little time exploring and explaining who she is.  

There are many titles we all hold over the course of our lives.  Listing them all out can be a fun and rewarding exercise.  Often we do and are WAY more than we give ourselves credit for.  Take a few minutes to list out all of your titles and roles in life.  You may be surprised at what you discover!
