E4: Change is Happening For You

Change Is Happening For You – A Lesson in Embracing Transformation

When change shows up at your door — an unexpected move, a new job, a relationship shift — it rarely feels like an invitation. Most of the time, it feels disruptive. Scary, even. Our natural instinct is to resist, hoping things will stay the same or somehow go back to “normal.”

But here’s the truth: resistance doesn’t protect us — it keeps us stuck.

In this episode, we unpack the messy, uncomfortable, and often transformative nature of change. While some shifts are exciting, others feel like they pull the ground out from beneath us. Yet, those very moments often lead to the greatest breakthroughs, helping us discover strength and resilience we didn’t know we had.

Why We Resist Change

• Comfort feels safe. Even when things aren’t great, familiarity can feel easier than the unknown.

• Fear of failure. What if the new thing doesn’t work out?

• Loss of control. Change can make us feel powerless — like life is happening to us instead of for us.

Recognizing these fears is the first step toward moving through them — and realizing that change often carries opportunities we can’t yet see.

Try This at Home: Reframe the “Why Me?” Moment

Next time you find yourself thinking, Why is this happening to me? try reframing it to:

• What might this be preparing me for?

• What could this be teaching me about myself?

• Where might this lead that I wouldn’t have gone on my own?

This shift in perspective can help you approach change with curiosity rather than fear.

The takeaway: Change will always come — but you get to choose how you meet it. When you loosen your grip on resistance and lean into what’s unfolding, you open yourself to growth, wisdom, and possibilities you never imagined.
