In this episode, we’re exploring a topic that we all deal with: change. Whether it's something we choose or something that happens to us, change can feel uncomfortable—even when it leads to growth. You’ll learn why we often resist change and how embracing it can lead to exciting new opportunities.

I’ll share some personal stories (including my Tower moments!), plus actionable strategies to help you shift your mindset around change and start navigating life’s transitions with more confidence.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Why change feels challenging (and why we resist it)
• The role of self-identity and how change can feel like a threat to it
• How to reframe change as a growth opportunity instead of something to fear
• Techniques to embrace uncertainty and take small steps toward change
• A guided visualisation exercise to help you imagine yourself thriving through transformation

By the end of this episode, you’ll have practical tools to help you manage both big and small changes with more ease, and I’ve even created a Change Action Plan PDF to guide you through your next steps—head to my website to download it!

If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend who’s navigating change, or leave a review. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
