Hello from the other side … of 30.

It's been a month since I left my 20s, and I'm (Rachel) honestly still processing this milestone. I didn't expect it to bring up so much grief – anger, frustration, sadness, and waves of anxiety and depression.

And while I've been riding those waves, it's become obvious that a lot of people around me are also battling that same current, just for different reasons.

So, this mutual experience got me thinking about big life transitions. What do they have in common? How do we ride them out? Why are they so emotional?

In this month's Side Chat we're talking about:

• What counts as a transition (that might not have occurred to you)
• Why all transitions always come with grief, even when they're happy
• The true purpose of grief, and how to let yourself feel the deep emotions of a transition phase, without bottling them up
• Why you don't need to try to understand your feelings about the transition you're in
• The difference between grief and depression
• How can you use the often chaotic emotions of a transition to help catapult you forward in life

After you've listened, leave a comment to let us know if you're in a transition phase, and how this episode resonated with you!

FREE WORKSHOP ON SEPTEMBER 25!

We're hosting a free, LIVE online workshop on Tuesday, September 25, at 1pm Eastern, and we'd love for you to be there!

How to figure out what to do with your life in 2 steps

If you're been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, confused, and uncertain about your direction in both your life and career, this is a REALLY great place for you to start.

Obviously there are way more than just TWO steps when it comes to figuring out what to do with your life, but we're going to get your momentum going with two big ones and send you off feeling more clear and at ease than you've likely felt in a long time.

We only do these kind of free workshops a few times per year, so join us while you can! There WILL be a free replay video for people who register, so sign up even if you can't be there live.

GET ON THE PPVE VIP LIST!

Our twice-yearly online group coaching program, the Passion Plan Virtual Experience, is going to be opening for enrollment on Tuesday, September 25!

It's a 5-ish week course (with a mix of pre-recorded videos, workbooks assignments, and live Google hangouts with the two of us) that helps you figure out what to do with your life. Think of it as the "AP Life" class you should have taken in high school, but never got the chance!

If you're on the VIP list, you'll be the first to know about our early bird pricing and the handful of free coaching sessions we're going to be giving away!

We're only taking 50 people in this round, and enrollment is first-come, first-served. If you want in, you'll definitely want to be on this list.
