Especially in the new year, we tend to associate feeling happier with making changes.
Sometimes little changes, moving a bit more or connecting more with friends,
and sometimes big changes.
leaving a toxic job, or starting a new creative project.
But when we fantasize about the change we'll experience in 2026,
we're usually thinking about the changes that we choose.
But life can also hit us with changes that we don't see coming.
Being dumped, getting laid off, or even receiving a frightening health diagnosis.
When unexpected changes like these happen, they can often leave us feeling very stuck.
We feel like who we are and who we can become is no longer clear.
We don't have a firm grip.
on ourselves anymore.
So in the second episode in our season about getting unstuck in the new year,
we're going to explore how we can work with change in 2026 rather than fighting it.
And we have the perfect guest to guide us, though I admit I might be a little biased.
