Change is something to embrace rather than fear, and one should focus on how to make the best of it.

“So, to me, change isn't something to be afraid of. It's more something to embrace and say, "Oh, okay, here I am. I didn't expect to be in this place in life, but I am now. So, okay, how am I going to make the best of it?"”

Life transitions, even those involving trauma or hardship, can be used to shed old scripts and reframe one's purpose toward building deeper community and connection.

“I came through my accident a lot of people would tell me like well this happened for a reason and I don't necessarily think things happen for a reason I think things happen and then we give it meaning we give it reason”

The fear felt before a major life change is often just excitement in a different guise.

“I mean I imagine there is some anxiety moving to a different different country. But yeah, that's that's that's also excitement. So, I would say you're excited, not anxious.”

Major life changes should be approached by focusing on what one can control rather than worrying about the future.

“It was about controlling the controllables. But then also sort of accepting, you know, it's the Serenity Prayer, right? Of uh the things that I cannot change.”

It is not necessary to experience a catastrophic life event to initiate personal change if one is willing to listen and engage in incremental shifts.

“The question really becomes like what is your pain tolerance and do you really have to suffer in that way in order to make these changes because those changes are available to your point when you're paying attention and you're in the moment”

Pain and suffering often serve as the necessary catalysts for individuals to decide to pivot and reinvent their lives.

“I think it's pain I know that that's not fun to hear but it's just like you've got a you're gonna have you have to suffer a little bit more where you are then that place and most of the time you're not suffering that much where you are so you're actually like oh this is fine I can do this”
