Why Endings & Change Feel So Hard: How to identify which phase of the Change Cycle you’re in and what to do about it
Ok…here’s a multiple choice question for you: What’s your relationship to change?
A. It’s scary and/or I don’t like it
B. It’s exciting and I look forward to it
C. I prefer to be comfortable so I tend to avoid it
D. I see change as an opportunity for growth so I am open to it
I’ve certainly selected each of the answers A through D during different parts of my life. What I’ve learned, however, is that life is but an ongoing series of transitions. Therefore, the way you perceive changes can dictate how stressed out or psyched you feel about navigating them.
In my recent episode of L3 Philosophy™, I had a conversation with life coach Karen Owen, who specializes in helping people rediscover their purpose, passions, and most importantly, their joy. In the episode, we talked all about life transitions and how understanding The Change Cycle can help you embrace growth through what can often feel like an emotional rollercoaster.

Trust the Process: Overcome Inner Criticism, Self-Doubt, and Indecision
Would it be weird for me to encourage you to face challenges with phrases like, “I’m so happy this toxic relationship is showing up for me right now!” or “This bankruptcy is the best thing that could possibly happen to me!” I know, it probably sounds ridiculous and a far cry from how you’re truly feeling, but I do have my reasons if you’ll bear with me…
Transitions are a natural part of life, but they are often anything but easy. Whether you’re going through a breakup, starting a new job, moving to a new city, or simply trying to reinvent yourself, the process of change can feel overwhelming. How do we navigate these shifts with grace, confidence, and clarity?
In today’s blog post, we explore how we can embrace the new chapters of our lives without getting lost in the fear of uncertainty and maybe - just maybe - approach them with a sense of excitement for what could potentially be. I’d like you to meet my recent L3 Philosophy™ guest Jeanine Cerundolo: An author and holistic life & career coach who has spent the past decade helping people navigate transitions. Jeanine has a heart-centered approach to her work that looks at the whole person—not just their current circumstances, but their inner world, relationships, and aspirations. If you’ve ever felt stuck or uncertain during a major life shift, the insights gleaned from our conversation are the perfect antidote to help you move forward with purpose and confidence.
