Do you ever struggle with making a big change in your life? Or does even the idea of a big transition looming in your life or your work or your careers cause a lot of stress and anxiety? In this episode, Lauren Weinstein and I, who is and was my business partner, talk about the big change and transition that we have going on in our lives, because we have split up our business, and we are ending doing our Untapped podcast together. We've done this in a way that we both believe models the proper way, the easy way to flow through change and transitions. Look, we couldn't help ourselves. We're coaches and we wanted to take our own coaching and share with you our process for flowing through a big life change. And I can tell you that it's gone really well, even when there's been tough decisions and tough realities to face.  So we'd love for you to listen to the very specific guidelines that we give for how to flow through change. And I also want to let you know that I am personally continuing on with interviewing amazing people, and this podcast is just getting going.  Todd Jason is an executive coach who's developed programs with some of the most sought after teachers in the world including Tony Robbins, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra.  He's the founder and lead facilitator of ASCEND - a community that assists thousands of people in regaining their personal freedom and heightening mental clarity.  Visit Todd's website and community here!
