Let’s Talk About Change: It’s Tough, It’s Messy, But Oh, It’s Worth It To Talk About
Hey there!
May is here, bringing with it those perfect, sunny afternoons and the kind of fresh blooms that remind us all why spring is the season of new beginnings. It’s the perfect time to talk about something we all experience but don’t always love—change.
Change is one of those friends who doesn't always knock politely before barging in. It’s tough at first, right? It pushes you out of your comfort zone, asks you to do things differently, and sometimes it feels like it’s asking way too much.
And then, just when you start to get the hang of things, it throws you into the messiness of the middle phase. This is where everything looks like a hurricane went through your life—nothing where it’s supposed to be and you wondering how things will ever get better.
But they do. They really do. Because after the storm comes the calm. And not just any calm, but a beautiful serenity that shows you why every struggle was worth it. The end of change is gorgeous, like those May flowers that seemed to pop up overnight but actually fought their way through the dirt to get to the sun.
So, why am I talking about change? Because it's not just about swapping old habits for new ones. It’s about transforming your outlook, impacting your life and even the lives of those around you—your family, your friends, and your community. It’s about making shifts that matter.
Deciding to embrace change is like choosing to take the scenic route on a road trip. Sure, the highway is faster and you know what to expect, but the scenic route? It’s got the views, the unexpected pit stops, and the memorable moments that you talk about for years to come.
This journey of change is much like what I talk about in my book, "The Emerging Woman." It's a guide for anyone who's ready to step up and face change head-on. It’s for those who want to find out what lies on the other side of comfort. You can check it out here—I wrote it for people like us, who are ready to dive deep and come out stronger on the other side.
As we roll through May, let’s keep our minds open and our spirits ready for whatever comes our way. Let’s learn from each other, support each other, and celebrate every tiny victory on our paths to transformation. Change might be tough and messy, but it’s also filled with moments of beauty and growth. Let’s not shy away from it. Instead, let’s lean into it and see just how gorgeous the end can be.
Continue to stay healthy, stay well, and most importantly, BE You!
