Podcasts about fear of change

In this episode of "Cocoon Conversations" on the Career Flipper podcast, I, Jenny Dempsey, take you along on my career journey.  This year, I've committed to opening up about my own career flip, just as I encourage my guests to do. So here we are, in May 2025, and I can hardly believe it's been four months since I started my current day job. It feels surreal to say that, especially considering I was laid off for two years before this.During this time, I've been balancing my full-time job with furniture restoration on the side, dedicating Sundays to it, and squeezing in podcasting and all the related tasks whenever I can. If that sounds overwhelming, it is! Life can be a juggling act, and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. Scheduling time with friends often feels like a game of Tetris, as we all navigate our busy lives.I've always been the type of person who thrives on variety. I'm the one multitasking—doing laundry while putting away dishes, preparing to record a podcast, creating social media content for my furniture flipping page, and making sure my dog, Dwight, gets outside for a potty break. My brain has always thrived on this mix of activities, and I've been like this for as long as I can remember.Looking back, I've come to realize something significant. For a long time, I believed that work—capital W work—was my identity. I thought it was the only thing I was good at. I didn't believe in taking vacations; if I did, I'd bring my laptop along and continue working. I even had a panic attack in front of a customer service team I was managing because I was so consumed by my job. I poured everything into my work, only to learn the hard way that companies would replace me in an instant. When I was laid off and struggled to find a new job for two years, I was left questioning my identity. Who was I if I wasn't working?I dive into this and more in the episode!

In today's episode, we're talking with Alexia, a holistic canine nutritionist who made an unexpected career flip,  thanks to her dog. Alexia started her journey deep in the world of academia and art in the sustainability sector, researching, writing, and painting.

Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode, I dive into the often complicated relationship we have with change. I will be sharing personal insights from an immersive training in powerful modalities like NLP, breathwork, hypnosis, and EFT tapping. Through a revealing breathwork session, I uncovered two limiting beliefs about change that were holding me back, even as someone who thought I embraced transformation. This episode is all about the importance of self-awareness, compassion (for ourselves and others), and taking radical responsibility for the beliefs and stories that shape our lives. If you're ready to explore what might be keeping you stuck and how to gently break through those barriers, this episode offers practical wisdom and a heartfelt nudge to own your journey and thrive—even if change feels scary. So, consider this your permission slip to stand in your power and, as always, own your bossy!

Send us a textBig change can feel exhilarating—and terrifying. In this personal episode, Lauren and Frank step away from their usual interview format to share the emotional rollercoaster of preparing for a major move. As they unpack their own resistance to change, they explore a powerful truth: even the most welcome transformations can stir up deep fears and old patterns.Through honest storytelling and intuitive reflection, they dive into why we sometimes cling to familiar discomfort, whether in jobs, relationships, or physical spaces. Lauren opens up about her tendency to “bottleneck for control,” while Frank reflects on staying too long in a misaligned job. Together, they examine how childhood experiences and parental fears shape our reactions to uncertainty—especially when guiding young children through big transitions.Clairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

In this episode, Dr. Aimie sits down with Dr. Eric Arzubi, who had this exact experience. Despite his success, he felt a deep pull toward something more meaningful. That pull eventually led him to leave finance behind, become a psychiatrist, and take on the challenge of transforming mental health care in Montana through trauma-informed telehealth.  Dr. Arzubi shares his inspiring journey of walking away from financial security to follow a calling, revealing how the fear of lifelong regret ultimately outweighed the fear of change.

Change is hard – even when it's good for us. We often unconsciously resist it for months until it uses suffering to force our hand. Why do we resist it so much and what can we do to help ourselves to better accept the writing on the wall so that we can be decisive, accept a new paradigm, and return to being in flow and, ultimately, on the path of success and abundance?Today I use a live example from my own leadership and business journey that has challenged me to let go of the more popular and conventionally accepted approach to leadership growth that has brought me so much success to date and embrace my evolution into a more holistic mind-body-heart-soul approach that departs from convention but is more true to me. I struggled to accept how I was changing despite seeing the measurable client impact like new jobs, promotions, successful business launches.I hope my experience inspires you take the leap past anything stale in your career that it's time to let go of.Topics discussed:The difficult journey of accepting that change was here and why our minds resist it so muchHow I helped my mind to accept this change and how you can do the same for yoursThe key mindset shift that I needed to make to accept this change and how you can explore what your limiting belief could beUsing your body's wisdom to show you where you're blockedThe imperative of operating from a regulated nervous system to help you handle the psychological stress of change  Themes: Mindset shift, career transitions, change, mind-body connection, leadership growth --Sign up for the mailing list to hear when leadership support circles launch and get early access discounts to upcoming eventsBook a free 1x1 coaching discovery call or reach out for retreats, workshop facilitation, or 1x1 and group leadership coaching for your companyFind me on ⁠LinkedIn⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠Sponsor an episode

In this episode of The Career Flipper podcast, host Jenny Dempsey sits down with Alex Ferro of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He opens up about his career shift from corporate banking to real estate — and the personal journey that led him there. After his dad passed, Alex started questioning what success really meant to him. He realized that climbing the corporate ladder wasn't cutting it anymore — he wanted more freedom, more purpose, and a better balance in life.Alex shares how he navigated the leap into real estate, balancing gut instincts with smart, calculated decisions. He talks about the systems he put in place to stay grounded and how he learned to redefine success beyond just making money. This episode dives into the ups and downs of career transitions — the moments of doubt, the unexpected wins, and the resilience it takes to keep going.If you've ever thought about leaving behind a “stable” job to chase something more meaningful, this one's for you. Alex's story is a reminder that success isn't always about the paycheck — it's about building a life that feels right.Episode TakeawaysSwitching careers can be a real emotional rollercoaster.We've all been there, stuck in a job that just doesn't light us up.Going through personal loss can really shake up how we view our careers and what success means to us.It's crucial to learn from both the wins and the slip-ups along the way.Having a solid plan and system in place can really help you get that work-life balance we all crave.It's all about finding that sweet spot between being spontaneous and making smart choices when it comes to investing.Success isn't just about the money; it's also about feeling fulfilled and happy with what you do.Having the freedom to make lifestyle choices can make a huge difference in how satisfied you feel with your career.Don't be afraid to take risks and shake things up if it means following your passions.Sharing personal stories can really inspire others to make bold career moves and chase their dreams.Connect with AlexFerro Home Buyers: https://www.ferrohomebuyers.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ferrohomebuyers/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ferrohomebuyers/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ferrohomebuyers/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEs1Tsbo3gcC_HdvLkmUxIQ Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

Today on The Career Flipper, host Jenny Dempsey is chatting with Michael Mattson, whose career journey is a perfect example of how small, intentional shifts can lead to massive transformations. Michael started out as a mail carrier, delivering letters door to door—and yes, getting to pet all the dogs along the way! But beyond the friendly pups, he saw firsthand the importance of both customer and employee experience, which set him on a path of discovery and career growth.With a high-empathy mindset, Michael made small leaps that took him from the frontlines of the postal service into a corporate customer experience role, and eventually across the country to become the Manager of Customer Experience for a global organization. He now also serves on advisory boards for multiple CX organizations, helping shape the future of the field.In this episode, we dive into:The power of mentorship and why you shouldn't be afraid to lean on your networkWhy employee experience matters just as much as customer experienceThe importance of finding the right workplace culture for long-term happinessHow small, calculated risks can open unexpected doorsThe delicate balance between career ambitions and personal passions—and why Michael chose to keep photography as a creative outlet rather than a jobHow embracing vulnerability at work can strengthen professional relationshipsMichael's story is a reminder that career changes don't have to happen all at once—sometimes, it's the little shifts that add up to something big.Connect with Michael

Hi my loves

A bus driver recalls the highs and lows of his life in this dark and blackly comic monologue. This is a bit of an experiment for me, inspired by the popular character monologues written by Alan Bennett that were broadcast on British television in the 1990s. If people like it, I may make it the start of an occasional series called "Talking Dead".“THE BUS DRIVER'S FEAR OF CHANGE” by Jasper L'Estrange. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. You can hear me discuss this story by listening to an upcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem, my bonus show for paying YouTube channel members and Patreon supporters.CREATOR'S NOTE: These recordings may contain sound effects and music because that's what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If it's not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. I'm sure they'll be glad to hear from you. The stories I choose to read I choose because I like them - not that they're all perfect or that I agree with all the sentiments expressed, but because I find something in them to recommend them. If I were to read only what I consider to be the few perfect vintage horror stories I should have recorded about twenty and stopped. But everything I read has something in it that appeals to my taste. Tastes differ, so you might not agree with my choices, but that doesn't make you right.

On this 50th episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, Capital Rx Vice President of Business Development Hope Nakazato, PharmD, joins Justin Venneri to discuss her observations, based on diverse industry experience, about the three most common friction points between plan sponsors and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs): lack of execution, poor communication, and inflexibility. So, why have plan sponsors dealt with the status quo and rising costs for so long? Great question.Hope uses the book, "Who Moved My Cheese?", by Dr. Spencer Johnson, to explain the fear of change, as well as three things people can look for in a true partner who will work with them in a collaborative and generally supportive way. If a new PBM or other vendor is aligned, consistent, and future-proof, change won't be as scary as it may seem, and plan sponsors can make more strategic decisions benefiting the plan and its members. Hope also shares the advice she'd give her younger self, as well as the most astonishing thing she's seen over the years (hint: it relates to drug prices).Related ContentCapital Rx Adds More than 80 New Partnerships in 2024 and Eyes Another Year of Record Growth in 2025Pharmacy Benefit Procurement: How to Ensure That Savings MaterializeReplay: 5 Ways to Improve Your PBM Procurement Process In 2024 (stay tuned for the 2025 edition!)5 Recommendations for an Optimal PBM Deal (free eBook)Please visit Capital Rx Insights for more information, including this episode's transcript!

In this episode, we dive deep into the common mindset sabotages that can hold you back in 2025, such as unrealistic expectations, limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, outdated goals, unhealthy coping mechanisms, a craving for immediate gratification, fear of change, and comparison. These patterns of thinking can subtly derail your progress, drain your motivation, and keep you stuck in a cycle of frustration. But there's good news: you don't have to let these sabotages control your life. Instead, we discuss how to invite God into your thoughts, actions, and decisions, transforming your mindset by grounding yourself in scripture and affirming truth based on God's Word. By renewing your mind with God's wisdom, you can break free from these mental barriers and embrace a mindset that empowers you to live with purpose and peace.

Scripture References:     •    Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”     •    Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”     Takeaway: This episode will help you recognize and overcome destructive mindsets by centering your thoughts on God's truth and His plans for your life. If you're ready to stop sabotaging your growth and step into a more fulfilling, God-centered mindset in 2025, this is the episode for you.

This week licensed therapist Kati Morton talks about change and why it can be so difficult. She digs into ways we can stop judging ourselves for overeating, how to put ourselves out there and start living, and ways we can start to feel ready for something. She also explains how to balance prioritizing ourselves without feeling selfish, and what behavioral activation really is and why it's the best way to combat our depression. Questions for Ask Kati Anything ep. 236 | Your mental health podcast 1. Why do I hate change so much? Change tends to worsen my depression and stress longer than anyone else seems to be affected by it at all. Is that just a personality characteristic, or is it possible that there is a reason? 02:07 2. Hi Kati, how can I stop judging myself for “overreacting” and having trauma responses to things that aren't “big T”traumas? Other people reasonably might not have a trauma response to those same situations, so that makes me feel like I'm weak and overreacting because it shouldn't be a big deal. I realize the judgment isn't helping me, but I don't know how to stop. It's keeping me from sharing about those things with my therapist because I'm ashamed and judging myself. What should I do? 14:49 3. I'm often told that I don't have a life. How do I put myself out there and start living? 24:07 4. Hey Kati, can you please talk about "how to get/feel ready" for something? I read that feeling not ready or simply not being able to do things can be connected to not wanting to feel ready or change. The thing is, I know that I want to have a romantic relationship, but still feel not ready. What can I do here? Thanks for your positive impact that you make 32:32 5. Hi Kati, I have been told multiple times by my therapist that I'm allowed to prioritize myself and stop trying to appease everyone else in my life. However, every time I try my inner voice tells me I'm being selfish and egotistical and shames me for thinking like this. How can I challenge these thoughts and show them they're wrong? 37:02 6. Hey Kati! Can you talk about behavioral activation? The idea behind behavioral activation is that by deliberately practicing certain behaviors, you can “activate” a positive emotional state. 40:40 #podcast #psychology #katimorton PUBLISHED BOOKS Traumatized https://geni.us/Bfak0j Are u ok? https://geni.us/sva4iUY ONLINE THERAPY While I do not currently offer online therapy, BetterHelp can connect you with a licensed, online therapist: https://betterhelp.com/kati (enjoy 10% off your first month) SOCIAL YouTube https://www.youtube.com/katimorton X https://twitter.com/KatiMorton TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@katimorton Instagram https://www.instagram.com/katimorton Patreon https://www.katimorton.com/kati-morton-patreon/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/katimorton1/ Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/katimorton1/ PARTNERSHIPS Linnea Toney linnea@underscoretalent.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/askkatianything/support

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Welcome back for part 2 of my conversation with my friend Julianne Hough. In this episode, we continue to explore the themes of healing, transformation, and self-discovery that shaped her new book, Everything We Never Knew. Julianne opens up about the power of trusting our intuition, despite the fear of being misunderstood, and how embracing the mentality of “Who says?” has empowered her to break free from societal expectations. We also discuss her return to Dancing with the Stars, where she feels a deep sense of belonging, and how the show is more than just dance—it's a space for transformation. Julianne reflects on her life's purpose, her dreams for the future, and what she truly wants to feel and experience moving forward to wrap out our conversation on finding balance, embracing change, and living authentically. Healers and Heal-Liners We are so disconnected from our intuition because we are scared people won't believe us. It's both a beautiful and scary thing how humans can adapt so well.  What will come to you is what is best for your highest self, and not what you think you should have.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop my Macy's Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/   Learn More About Julianne Hough Julianne Hough's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juleshough/?hl=en Julianne Hough's Website: https://www.juliannehough.com/ Buy Your Copy of ‘Everything We Never Knew': https://bookshop.org/p/books/everything-we-never-knew-julianne-hough/21312143 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Remove Your Fear of Change I woke up this morning with the realization that a life-changing event was looming in my future. I needed to wrap my head around the mindset adjustments I would need to make before changing my mind and running the other way. All of us have made decisions that, if we did, would change our world overnight.  Are you heading off to school for the first time? Are you getting married after being single forever? Could it be accepting a new job in a strange town?  It doesn't matter how excited you are. It doesn't matter how well you have justified your upcoming change. It doesn't matter how adventurous your spirit is. Life-changing decisions can feel like you're launching on a mission to mars without your space suit.  But there's one thing I know for sure - Life is all about getting from where you are today to where you will be tomorrow. It's the transformation from what you have to what you could have that excites growth in our lives.  So, what is that uncomfortable feeling that you have in your gut? Every one of us views ourselves as who we are on the inside—our identity. Since life is real and the future is not realized, feeling apprehensive is a natural response.  What you need is a "Transitional Identity" to get you from today to tomorrow. "I've always been a hometown person, and now I'm learning to become a citizen of the world." "I've always been single, but I'm becoming the best relationship person I can be. My future spouse deserves that." "I've never climbed this high on the corporate ladder; now I'm becoming the leader everybody deserves." Transitional Identities are a simple way to ease the fear of the unknown—even if it's self-inflicted. As your future becomes more accurate, your Transitional Identity will transition you into a new life, and you will become a new you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
