Transitioning from one goal to another can be hard. We might feel like we're letting others down. We can experience fear as we move into something uncertain and unknown. We might compare ourselves to others who are continuing to pursue the goal we're letting go of. But just because we can pursue something, does not mean we should.
In this episode Kori and Joe discuss a client who is transitioning from physique competition to endurance training. Her experience provides lessons for how to navigate change, how to use anxiety and fear as a cue for exploration as opposed to an exit, and how to practice developing multiple identities that can foster joy and freedom.
