Making (Big) Changes: Worries, Whys, and Compromises

Even good change can send us into a spin. In this episode, I talk about how some really positive news about a long-awaited move had me spiralling—and how I navigated the panic that followed.

When big change looms, it’s natural to worry. But instead of sitting in the overwhelm, you’ve got to get back to your "why". Why are you making the change? What’s the big picture? What matters most?

If a worry crops up, don’t dwell—brain-dump it, then brainstorm some solutions (even if they seem random at first). I share an example from my own life: when a part of the plan couldn’t happen—like living near family—I had to pivot and find a workaround that still honoured my deeper goals.

Sometimes the path to your dream comes in phases, and that’s okay. Patience is part of progress. The trick is to confront your fear directly and keep moving forward—one thoughtful step at a time.
