When it comes to change, our wake-up calls too often arrive as crisis, breakdown, or loss, forcing us to move from comfort - only when we have no other choice. But why do we wait for pain or external pressure before taking the steps we know we need?
This week on Journeys Through Change, I’m exploring the subtle stories we tell ourselves about why we endure situations that no longer fit, and how to shift from changing by force to embracing change on purpose.

In this episode, I discuss:
- The psychology behind why we’re conditioned to avoid discomfort and cling to familiarity, even when it does not serve us.
- How to recognize the early whispers of dissatisfaction before they escalate into a full-blown crisis.
- Simple ways to create “intentional disruption” in your life to spark growth before life forces your hand.
- Why you must stop waiting for outside permission or validation and start granting it to yourself.
- A simple, powerful challenge: Identify one area where you’re waiting for validation, and choose to self-validate and act. Plus tips for taking bold, tiny steps toward change right now.
Change is inevitable. That’s why I designed the Day by Daybook®, a guided journal to help you face the discomfort of those shifts in life that are pushing you to that next level of growth and learning. Get your Day by Daybook® here.
