In this episode, I invited Anna Switzer, author of License to Learn, to return to the podcast and share thoughts on transition one year into the pandemic. I interviewed Anna a year ago when the pandemic first caused shutdowns. Now, a year later, we talk about how the pandemic and the learning from this past year has led us all to a transition opportunity. We revisit Anna's book and think more about how our known zones, learning zones, and panic zones have changed, and how to look to building resilience and recovery in order to unlock the Gift Zone and figure out what's next for us in the coming year. We discuss: How does transition change our zones? How has the past year led to collective transition? How can we unlock the Gift Zone from the lessons learned in the past year?

Big changes in life often make us focus on what we are giving up or gaining and then we want to jump right into what is next--but what lies in between?

Divorce. It's a hard subject and a transition that has so many complexities. On this episode, I talk with Heather Candelar and Theresa Kleinlein with DIV/VY The Divorce Agency about the hard lessons they learned in their own divorces and how that helped them create their business to support people facing the financial, emotional, and custodial challenges of divorce. We discuss: What makes divorce such a multi-faceted challenging time and what are the common blindspots that people have when getting divorced? How can people collect information proactively to help them make proactive decisions that help support the process of divorce and life afterwards? How can people identify the opportunities of divorce and release the stigma around divorce when it is necessary? Learn more about DIV/VY The Divorce Agency here.

When we are in transition, we may think that we are merely changing jobs, or changing responsibilities, but we may not always stop to really consider how the roles we play shape how we see ourselves. We also might not examine how a change in one role may impact another role in our lives. In this podcast, I recap the strategies we have learned from interviews in the first part of Season 2, and then look ahead to examining the roles we play as part of our transition. I give examples of how leaving my job led me to ask hard questions about my role as wife, mother, daughter, and even about my responsibility in my role as an individual.

When change happens it can feel challenging, complex, and overwhelming. But what happens if we can recognize the opportunity to just be in the moment of transition and explore our somatic reactions, our approaches to self-regulation, and really listen to ourselves for what comes next. In this interview with Dr. Felicia Lee, from Campana Leadership Group, we talk about her own change story, how just "getting through" doesn't always help you see the opportunity of change, and how to better appreciate the journey of your self.

Professional change can be as extreme as leaving a job or retiring from a career, but it also can be seemingly subtle like transitioning back from vacation, or transitioning between communicating with different people at work. This week I get to interview author Cheryl Benedict to discuss the phases of transition in our professional lives and how we can take time to really understand those changes, how they impact us, and how we can move through the in-between zone to arrive at transformation on the other side. Cheryl's new book The Wisdom of Transition outlines 8 different types of transition we may face in our professional lives, and provides strategies to help us navigate the change process. We discuss: What are the 8 types of transition that we may face in our professional lives? Why is having a "safe space" so important in navigating the transition process? How can we embrace, not reject, our emotions and recognize the lessons they are meant to teach us?

Welcome to 2021! As we kick off the new year, learning from last year, looking ahead to changes we seek to make, we often set resolutions or intentions for ourselves. But along with setting our goals, we have to honor the change process and start with our identity. What do we know about ourselves and our beliefs? If we use inquiry to lead us into self-reflection, we can start meeting our resolutions with greater clarity and self-awareness. Consider: How does your core identity (e.g. race, religion, language, ability, gender, age, class, sexual orientation) shape how you approach changing yourself and your habits? How does your family and cultural background shape how you approach changing yourself and your habits? How does your identity that you have grown through life experience shape how you approach changing yourself and your habits?

My previous work on the podcast was about cognitive processing and intellectual reflection during moments of transition. But when I went through my latest life transition, losing my mom, I realized that there were just some journeys where my brain wasn't my best guide. By getting curious about the world of somatics, I found a way to bring my full self--head, heart, and hara (or gut intuition) into my process. Along the way I learned some essential practices, found some long sought after answers, and found truly embodied transformation that led to long-lasting change in my life.
