Anita Joos Eyre - How to sit with the discomfort of not knowing what's next?
Making big life changes can be daunting, but sometimes it's necessary to reevaluate priorities. Anita Joos Eyre shares her Change Story on this week's episode, discussing her decision to leave a successful career in Global Media for luxury fashion brands in New York and relocate back to Switzerland with her husband and daughter. After the birth of her daughter, Anita felt it was time to focus on being a mom and take a step back from her career. However, taking a career break can be stressful and fear-inducing, especially when faced with the question of "What's Next?" Anita shares how she gave herself space and time to reflect on what she loves and what interests her today, eventually leading her to become a Certified Leadership and Transitions Coach. Change is never linear or logical, but by following curiosity and asking explorative open-ended questions, new possibilities can be envisioned.
Caroline Kelf - Finding the joy on the other side of discomfort!
What if losing your sense of joy becomes the catalyst that leads to creating a whole new chapter?
In Episode 15, I sit down with Caroline Kelf to discuss her journey of transformation. Caroline's change story begins after becoming a mother and struggling with postnatal depression. She felt lost and unsure of what she wanted out of life. However, through a Conscious Leadership Program, she was able to reconnect with her passion for dancing and music. This led her to question what she wanted to create and what her purpose was. Initially uncertain, she gave herself permission to experiment and started teaching herself to mix music.
As she played and experimented, her vision became clearer. She realised that she was here to share her love of music and empower other women to reconnect with their joy. Caroline's journey shows that self-discovery is a process that requires patience, courage and experimentation. By giving ourselves permission to try new things, we can uncover our passions and purpose in life - or at least our next chapter!
Nicola Mercer - The Break that led to my Breakthrough
Have you ever considered that the challenges you face might actually be the catalyst for a positive change in your life? The latest episode of the How Change Changes You Podcast explores this idea.
In Episode 14, I sit down with Nicola Mercer to discuss her journey of transformation. Nicola opens up about her struggles with anxiety and low self-esteem over the years, and how the pandemic lockdown served as a turning point for her. Rather than letting the situation break her, she used it as an opportunity to break free from a 19-year corporate career and pursue her passion for helping women build healthy, happy, strong lives. Listen in to hear how Nicola's breakdown led to a breakthrough, and gain some insights on how you can do the same in your own life.
Kathryn Forte - When Rejection Leads to Redirection to Your Calling!
Few things in life are linear. And this is definitely the case with the Change Story Kathryn shares. It becomes clear that life took her on a bit of a scenic route (as it does many of us), through a few sliding door moments that provided her with the opportunity to collect and sample fortuitous experiences that would later influence her future choices and result in the business she runs and lifestyle she lives.
Kathryn shares how some bumps in the road actually turned out to be key redirections - from taking a financial hit that would later cost her entrance into a career in the Police, to being made redundant and developing and diversifying a side hustle into the multi-faceted business she runs today.
We talk about the importance of taking chances and staying open to possibilities - as you never know where they may lead; intentionally putting yourself outside of your comfort zone for better mental and physical fitness; to the determination and persistence it takes to find meaningful and fulfilling work.
