Podcasts about life transitions

In this week's episode of Before You Cut Bangs, Laura and Claire get brutally honest about what happens when life hits you with more plot twists than a sad country music song.Laura opens up about walking through a season where everything changed at once — a move, personal upheaval, emotional whiplash — while Claire deals with her own chaos (think: her hardwood floors literally being ripped out).Together, they unpack the real question:  Why do we show up as totally different versions of ourselves when we're in crisis versus when life is calm?From stress responses to survival mode to the weird ways chaos makes us react, this episode is part therapy, part comedic relief, and part permission slip for anyone who feels like they're “handling it” but also maybe… not handling it.As we move into the holiday season — a time when chaos tends to multiply — Laura and Claire talk about:    •    What actually makes a day feel chaotic    •    Why small things hit so much harder when you're already at capacity    •    How to give yourself grace when you're not the “chill version” of yourself    •    The little anchors that help you come back to center    •    Why going through hard seasons doesn't make you dramatic — it makes you humanIf you're going through a lot right now, this one will make you feel a little less alone and a lot more normal. Grab your headphones, pour something warm, and let's laugh our way through the mess.____________________________________________________________________________________________In this episode we cover:    •    The difference between me in crisis and me when I'm chill    •    Why chaos makes everything feel bigger, heavier, and more dramatic    •    Laura's “my life is a country music song” season    •    Claire's own home-renovation nightmare    •    What actually defines chaos (spoiler: it's rarely the big thing)    •    Why you get snappy, defensive, avoidant, or shut down when you're overwhelmed    •    How fast life can change — and how to stay grounded when it does    •    What to expect as the holidays approach and emotional load increases    •    Small, practical ways to return to yourself in the middle of a storm

Carlii Lyon has spent more than two decades helping extraordinary people shape their stories, from supermodels and global entrepreneurs to bestselling authors and spiritual leaders. As a publicist, she built reputations that captured the world’s attention, but over time her work shifted from curating others’ narratives to reclaiming her own. Her book Courage to Be – Small Steps for a Big Life is part memoir, part manifesto, exploring the quiet but profound acts of courage that redefine our lives. Through honest storytelling, Carlii invites readers to embrace visibility, imperfection and the liberation that comes with speaking our truth. This conversation is both professional and deeply personal. Carlii and I have known each other for nearly twenty years, through motherhood, reinvention and the ever-evolving landscape of womanhood. She introduced me to Dr John Demartini and Miranda Kerr when her career as a powerhouse publicist was in full swing. I met her as a junior publicist, full of promise and drive, and we have travelled together, breastfed our babies side by side, and held each other through heartbreak and triumph. In this episode we talk about authenticity, confidence, storytelling and self-discovery—the courage to evolve, to be seen and to stand fully in your truth.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Kyra Faison Gardner—certified transformational life & retirement coach, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, and founder of Prospect & Refuge Life—about “threshold alchemy”: using life transitions (midlife shifts, retirement, loss, reinvention) to create purpose. Kyra unpacks practical rituals (silence at sunrise, gratitude journaling, mindful community) and a direct message: you don't need permission to change direction. This episode is built for listeners seeking midlife reinvention, post-career identity, spiritual grounding, and daily practices that stick.   About the Guest:   Kyra Faison Gardner is a transformational life & retirement coach and author of Who Do You Think You Are? After more than 20 years as a founder/CEO—and rebuilding after a devastating house fire—she now helps people in their second and third acts redesign life with intention through Prospect & Refuge Life.   Key Takeaways: Threshold alchemy defined: transform uncertain life stages into meaningful new chapters by reframing identity beyond roles and titles. Identity ≠ job: you are not your career, marital status, or parental role; reinvention starts when you expand who you believe you are. Rituals over routines: morning silence, sunrise, brief meditation, and gratitude journaling stabilize mood and sharpen purpose. Body-markers for intention: simple anchors (remove shoes, anoint hands/feet, light a candle) signal your nervous system it's time to focus. Community matters: find cohorts or circles that see your current self and support who you're becoming. Permission slip: you already have permission to be happy, change your mind, and pursue long-delayed curiosities. Spiritual flexibility: you don't need the “right” label for the sacred; name it how it resonates and keep going. Micro-choices win: small, repeatable acts (feed the birds, a poem, one page of writing) accumulate into identity change. From trauma to truth: healing isn't linear; honest writing and coaching help you share without losing peace. Aging as expansion: retirement and midlife aren't endings—they're invitations to create, learn, and serve.   Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.prospectrefugelife.com/ Substack: Seeking Prospect & Refuge (poetry, blessings, essays)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Transitions are never easy — whether it's moving across the world or simply adjusting to the everyday shifts of family life. In this episode, I open up about how my family is navigating a major transition and what it's teaching me about change, resilience, and holding space for one another.If you're in a season of transition — big or small — this conversation will encourage you to slow down, honor your own process, and remember that there's no one right way to move through change.

We often talk about strategy, charisma, and competence when we talk about leadership. But what about character? In this powerful solo episode, Janet Ioli dives into the often-ignored foundation of true leadership—character—and why it's time we bring it back into focus.Through honest reflection and real-world observation, Janet explores how our collective erosion of respect, honesty, and decency has created a crisis of leadership. She challenges us to look inward and asks a question every leader should sit with: Who are we becoming?This conversation is an invitation to pause, recalibrate, and recommit to leading with integrity—not just in titles or organizations, but in how we show up as human beings.In this episode:✅ Why character has quietly disappeared from leadership conversations✅ The difference between charisma and true integrity✅ How modern culture rewards “winning” over doing what's right✅ Why arrogance and disrespect are disguised as righteousness✅ The role of fear, ego, and power in our leadership choices✅ How to recenter character as an expectation in leadership✅ Simple, everyday ways to demonstrate character in action✅ Why leading with decency, humility, and honesty is the ultimate edgeAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

A former Director of Human Resilience at Apeiron Zoh and co-creator of SEALFIT's Unbeatable Mind Academy, Michael integrates psychology, physiology, and spiritual development to create holistic transformation. Through his groundbreaking Relationship Dojo framework, he helps couples cultivate conscious communication, emotional safety, and co-evolution in love and partnership.Whether you're a spouse, a parent, or a leader, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, tune in, and start creating relationships with awareness instead of habit.Listen now and learn how to move from “me vs. you” to “we're in this together.”Quotes:"It's not enough just to have conscious agreements. You actually have to have the capability of embodying those agreements." "If I can impart anything with all my people, I work with a much more playful attitude to life. Even when life conditions are really hard and challenging, we have one of two options: we can fall back to our level of training, or we can evolve ourselves to be much more playful." "Self-awareness is key—what you need, want, and desire, you need to express in a healthy, useful way, and then have a conversation around it." Actionable Takeaways:Audit Your Unspoken Rules: Reflect on what “unwritten agreements” exist in your relationship or family. Which habits or assumptions are you still following from your upbringing that no longer serve you?Create One Conscious Agreement: Sit down with your partner or team and intentionally redefine how you'll handle a recurring challenge—whether it's communication, money, or conflict. Make it clear, mutual, and revisited regularly.Practice Co-Regulation Daily: The next time tension rises, pause. Make eye contact, breathe together, or simply place a hand on your partner's heart. Regulate before you respond.Optimize Your Human System: Track your sleep, nutrition, and stress this week. Notice how your physical energy affects your patience, empathy, and ability to connect with others.Shift from “Me” to “We”: Before your next disagreement, ask yourself, “How can we solve this together?”—not “How can I win?” This simple reframe can transform your relationship dynamic over time.Conclusion:True connection isn't built through perfect communication—it's built through awareness, intention, and growth. As Michael Ostrolenk reminds us, thriving relationships require continuous excavation, conscious agreements, and the willingness to evolve together. When we learn to regulate ourselves, support our partners, and approach life with curiosity and playfulness, we move from reacting out of habit to responding with purpose.Start small. Have one intentional conversation, take one deep breath before you respond, and watch how even the smallest shifts can transform your relationship—and yourself.

A tender question sits at the center of this conversation: what happens when we trust the heart more than the plan? We follow that thread through three original readings from Revelations of the Sky and into the lived terrain of starting over, moving from Alaska to Kauai, and rebuilding identity with fewer titles and more truth. Along the way, we challenge the myth of a single calling, exploring purpose as plural—something we practice in small daily choices, not just in big career moves—and invite permission to experiment with language, work, and self-expression.We talk openly about grief as a beginning rather than an end point: the catalyst that widened the path to spirituality, intuition, and creative risk. If you identify as sensitive or empathic, you'll hear a reframe you might need today: feeling deeply is not a flaw to fix but a strength to master. That intensity can hurt, but it also heals—it's the same openness that lets joy register in bright color and makes meaning easier to find in ordinary moments. From that place, wisdom becomes less theoretical and more embodied, tempered by trial, mistake, and the quiet kind of courage that accrues over time.The final movement is a call to be seen. Not as a performance, but as an act of alignment—peeling back old skins, integrating professional expertise with spiritual gifts, and allowing your voice to carry the life you've actually lived. Trust here isn't a leap into nothing; it's a series of grounded steps toward what feels alive. If you've been waiting for permission to shine, consider this your gentle green light. Listen, reflect, and then tell us: where is your heart asking you to go next?

What if the real work of women in leadership isn't about playing the part, but rewriting the entire script?In this solo episode, Janet explores the deep inner tension that women leaders experience as they navigate cultural expectations of femininity and leadership strength. Through her own story of being cast as Aphrodite instead of Athena in a childhood play, Janet uncovers how these archetypes still shape women's experiences at work today.Drawing from her decades of research and personal reflection, she invites us to question the archetypes we've inherited, and to imagine new models of authentic, integrated leadership.In this episode:✅ Why traditional leadership roles weren't designed with women in mind✅ How cultural archetypes still shape how women lead and are perceived✅ The inner tension between being “feminine” and being “strong”✅ The story of Aphrodite and Athena—and what it reveals about modern leadership✅ Why awareness of “role tension” is the first step toward authentic integration✅ How cultural scripts—not personal inadequacy—fuel self-doubt✅ The call for new leadership archetypes that blend wisdom and compassion✅ What it means to create your own authentic model of leadershipAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

When the Seasons Change, So Do We Do you ever notice how the air shifts right before a new season begins? The light feels different, the silence between moments gets louder… and suddenly, you realize, you've changed too. It's not just the weather. It's a mirror. Every autumn, every spring, nature's reminding us: nothing blooms forever, and nothing stays barren forever either. We talk so much about growth, but real growth? It's cyclical. It has endings. Inner growth isn't about constant positivity or progress, it's about honoring the death of an old version of you so a truer one can take root. Just like trees shedding leaves to survive winter, we have to let go of what can't come with us into the next chapter. This isn't loss, it's renewal. Because what we resist releasing… rots. But here's the problem, most of us fight the fall (pun intended!)  We cling to relationships past their season, careers we've outgrown, habits that once protected us but now suffocate us. Why? Because stillness scares us. We confuse silence for failure, when it's actually the soil recharging. Winter isn't punishment,  it's preparation. If you're in a season of confusion right now, maybe things feel like they're falling apart,  don't rush it. Nature never rushes, yet everything gets done. Your life has seasons because your soul does too. This fall, don't just watch the leaves change, let something in you die that's ready to go. And when spring comes, it won't just be flowers blooming,  it'll be you : ) So today, take a walk. Feel the shift. Ask yourself: What season am I really in? And what's ready to fall away… so something better can grow? Thank you for tuning in.   Peace and love always, Amber xoxo

I first met Jenn over a decade ago, when she supported me and my family with some really scary food allergies that my kiddos were having.  Our paths crossed again as I began writing Project Body Love, exploring my relationship with my body and, specifically, intuitive eating and the concept of health at every size.  In more recent years, Jenn has supported me as I've been transitioning through perimenopause.  I couldn't be happier to be sharing Jenn's wisdom with you today! Here's some of what we talk about: > We both share our somewhat hilarious stories of how we each realized we were in perimenopause – and then of course what happened for each of us afterward. > Why we know so little about the complex process of peri/menopause, why so many of us are surprised by our symptoms, and how Gen X and Millenial women are doing things differently, redefining the experience and demanding more information and better care. > The symptoms of perimenopause that no one expects, and that seemingly have nothing to do with perimenopause at all!  Jenn explains the "hormone soup" that exists in our body during this time, and how it has far-reaching impacts well beyond hot flashes and crime scene periods. > How our relationships with our bodies change during this transformational time in our lives – how many of us are confronted with the body and health changes associated with aging and the reality that we can't always control what happens to our health. > The potential that peri/menopause has to catalyze us to break up with Diet Culture for good and find joy and pleasure in food and movement.  We talk about the power and possibility that can reveal itself to us when we see this time as a rite of passage in our lives.  Jenn leaves us with the question:  how can midlife be a feast? I hope you love this interview as much as I did! Show Notes Jenn's book, Eat to Thrive During Menopause, comes out October 21st Pre-order the book and get some sweet bonus recipes!

Transitions are inevitable. Whether it's becoming a parent, shifting careers, retiring, or simply navigating unexpected change. But why do transitions feel so unsettling, and how can we meet them with more self-compassion and patience?In this episode of Grow the Good, I sit down with my friend and fellow MAPP grad, Ilene Schaffer, to explore the psychology of transitions. With more than 25 years of experience in counseling psychology, Ilene shares her wisdom on navigating endings, sitting with uncertainty in the “neutral zone,” and creating intentional new beginnings.We talk about what it means to let go of old identities, how to clarify your non-negotiables, and why patience and self-compassion are the keys to moving through life's changes with resilience.Top 5 Takeaways:Self-compassion is essential in transitions, whether the change is chosen or not.The “neutral zone” between endings and beginnings is where reflection and growth take place.Defining non-negotiables helps guide decisions during uncertain times.Patience is vital; most transitions take 6–9 months to fully adjust.Fulfillment isn't about balance, it's about intentional choices aligned with your values.Tune in to learn more from Ilene, and hopefully, approach your next transition with a little bit more ease. --------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
