From Mat to More

the 5 stages of change + why progress isn’t linear


Listen Later

Episode 40: We’re deep into fall (the season of change), but the truth is, we are always moving through some form of change. Whether it’s seasonal, physical, lifestyle, relationships, habits, or even identity, change is a constant part of being human.


In this episode, I introduce the 5 Stages of Change (also known as the Transtheoretical Model)—a framework that helps you understand how transformation actually unfolds. Because change isn’t just one decision or one moment… it’s a gradual (and often uncomfortable) process.


As I talk through each stage, you’ll learn:

✨ Why progress isn’t linear

✨ How to recognize where you are in your own change cycle

✨ Tools to support yourself when everything feels shaky

✨ Why discomfort is not a sign to stop (it’s part of the process!)

✨ The role of ritual + reflection in staying aligned


This episode is your reminder that change is not something we are naturally good at—it’s something you practice, gently and consistently, over time.
