This month’s theme has been all about transitions — those messy, uncertain phases where life no longer feels the same, but the new hasn’t fully arrived. Whether it’s a major life change, a shift in direction, or a quieter internal evolution, we all move through transition at different points in life
Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared reflections on how these phases feel, why they can be so disorienting (especially for high-achieving professionals), and how to navigate them with more steadiness and self-compassion.
In the final article, I answer a subscriber’s question about navigating redundancy — and offer support for anyone moving through this often unsettling and uncertain time.
And at the end of this round-up, I’m recommending one of the most enduring resources on this topic and a long-standing favourite for anyone facing a period of change.
If you’re in a season where the old no longer fits but the new hasn’t fully arrived, I hope these articles offer both insight and reassurance.
This Month’s Artciles
April 4th, 2025 – When life feels uncertain…it may be a sign of transition
Whether it’s something big like a change in work, home, or relationships, or something more subtle, we all move through personal transition phases at various stages in life. Some we choose, others we don’t. Without an understanding of these phases, it’s easy to assume something’s wrong with us — that we’re off track, not doing enough, or somehow falling behind. But often, we’re simply in transition… Continue reading
April 11th, 2025 – The quiet space where change begins
Transition is often painted as a clean turning point — a bold decision, a fresh start, a new chapter. But in reality, it rarely feels that clear. It’s usually a period of time (a phase) that feels foggy, tiring, tender, and unsettling. You might feel unmotivated, disconnected, restless, and perhaps even unsure of who you are anymore. And the hardest part? It doesn’t come with a clear timeline. You’re not quite who you were, but you’re not yet who you’re becoming. And that space can feel deeply uncomfortable… Continue reading
April 18th, 2025 – Q&A: How do I stay steady when I don’t know what’s next?
This month’s subscriber question comes from Lynsay: “I was recently made redundant and it’s knocked me more than I expected. I feel somewhat ‘lost’, unmotivated, and unsure what I even want next. I’ve always been a fairly driven person, so this unsettled feeling is unfamiliar and uncomfortable. How do I stay steady in this weird in-between space when I don’t know what’s next?”… Read my answer here
Worth Sharing This Month
Transitions by William Bridges
This is one of those books I come back to often and recommend to clients who are navigating any kind of change. It’s calm, clear, and reassuring, especially if you’re feeling unsettled or unsure what comes next.
Bridges breaks the transition process into three parts — endings, a middle ground, and new beginnings — and helps you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface when life feels unfamiliar or off-track.
It’s a thoughtful, practical read that can help bring perspective and a bit of relief when you’re in the thick of it.
