Navigating Lifequakes: Steps to Flourish After Major Life Disruptions

In this episode of the Flourishing After Adversity podcast, resilience coach and author Laura Mangum Broome discusses 'lifequakes'—major life disruptions that shake your world. Drawing from Bruce Feiler’s research, Laura explains why transitions feel overwhelming, common mistakes to avoid, and introduces five simple steps to make transitions easier: accepting reality, marking endings with closure, shedding what's no longer needed, creating new possibilities, and sharing your story. 

The episode also offers practical advice for regaining confidence through small, brave steps. Listeners are encouraged to download the free guide, 'Reframe the Spiral,' for coping strategies, and to schedule a clarity call for personalized support.
