POPULARITY
I have been feeling waves of exhaustion, waves of energy, and honestly, a little out of rhythm as I settle into my new home. I'm only about 10 days into this move, and even though I'm excited and grateful, I've also had moments where I feel disoriented, tired, and unsure of what needs my attention first. When I shared that with my aunt, she reminded me of the Rule of 3s: three days to decompress, three weeks to build routines, and three months to begin feeling truly at home. That framework gave me so much perspective because change, even when it's good, still asks us to let go of something familiar. In those first few days, we are not just setting up a new space or stepping into a new chapter. We are also adjusting to what we left behind. I saw that in myself, and I saw it as I brought my dogs into this new environment and began creating routines for all of us, including the goats and chickens that are now part of my daily life. The more I think about it, the more I realize how much grace we need during any big transition. We cannot expect ourselves, our loved ones, or even our pets to feel settled immediately. We need time to decompress, time to create small grounding habits, and time to integrate into whatever new experience we are stepping into. On today's Wise Walk, we are slowing down to check in with ourselves and ask where we are in the Rule of 3s, whether we need rest, routine, or simply more patience as we find our footing. When you experience a major change in your life, are you able to give yourself grace and use the Rule of 3s to help you adjust and pace yourself? When someone you love, whether two-legged or four-legged, experiences a major shift like a new home or new job, can you offer them that same grace? In the first 72 hours of a transition, when everything can feel overwhelming, are you kind and patient with yourself? Can you recognize that even when a new experience is exciting and full of possibility, it may also come with a sense of loss? Are you willing to let yourself decompress as you adjust to giving up what you once had? Can you honor what you are losing while giving your body, mind, and heart the time they need to adjust and receive the full gains of what is next? Whatever you are taking on right now, I'm sending so much good energy and positive vibes your way. Change is hard for all of us, so if you feel stuck, frustrated, or unsure, take a moment to ask where you are in the Rule of 3s. Hopefully, months from now, you will look back and realize you handled the transition with more grace than you thought possible. Until next Thursday's Wise Walk, please be sure to prioritize fun, read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [04:27] The first 3 days of my new home experience was disorienting. It has taken some time for me to decompress. [05:18] I didn't bring my dogs yet, because I knew they needed space to go through the transition. [06:22] We have to pace ourselves and acknowledge that we're going through a decompression period during the first 72 hours. [07:12] The best way to manage the first 72 hours is to give yourself permission to do the bare minimum and take the time to decompress. Manage your priorities to the best of your ability without overdoing it. [08:14] The second step is starting to establish routines for your new environment. Your first 21 days are about managing and starting small daily habits that help you feel grounded in your environment. [11:10] In my new home, I've also acquired goats and chickens. [12:44] I've not only been creating routines, I've also been hiking, walking, and exercising. [13:57] The three month mark is all about integration. Give yourself at least 3 months of that new activity to feel at ease. [15:34] When starting something new it takes a while to build up that muscle memory. It doesn't happen overnight. [16:24] Hold on to the habits that support you. [17:26] The message behind the rule of threes has really helped me manage the new move. [18:48] The rule of threes will also be helpful for my dear friends who just got new puppies. Memorable Quotes: "Sometimes feeling unsettled does not mean something is wrong. It simply means we are still integrating into what is new." - Mary Tess "In the first few days of a transition, we do not have to do everything. We only have to tend to what is essential." - Mary Tess "When we understand the phase we are in, we can stop fighting the process and start caring for ourselves through it." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram
What happens when fear stops being something to avoid and becomes something you learn from? I sit down with futurist designer and Purple Compass founder Donna Dupont for a thoughtful conversation about strategic foresight, resilience, change, and the patterns that shape our future. Donna shares how her experiences in healthcare, public policy, and emergency management during the SARS crisis pushed her toward futures thinking and helping organizations prepare for uncertainty before disruption strikes. Together, we explore why people resist change, how fear can either limit or guide us, and why curiosity may be one of the most important skills we can develop. You will hear insights on business continuity, leadership, personal growth, future thinking, and how intentional choices can help all of us create a more unstoppable future. Highlights: 05:02 - Discover how working through the SARS crisis revealed the hidden gaps between healthcare systems and emergency response. 12:26 - Learn why asking “what if” can build resilience without falling into fear-driven thinking. 17:11 - Explore how curiosity and wider perspectives help people navigate rapid change and uncertainty. 26:09 - Understand why people resist change even while living in a world that is constantly shifting. 38:26 - Hear what futurists actually do and why strategic foresight is about patterns, not predictions. 58:35 - Discover how intentional choices can interrupt old patterns and help shape a different future.

In this episode, I take you through the Kübler Ross change curve… …and show how it applies when you are shifting from a selfish culture to a selfless, generous one. Change like this is not just a new slogan or a new policy, it is an identity shift that takes people through shock, denial, frustration, depression, experiment, decision, and finally integration. I break down what each stage looks like inside a company that is trying to build generous culture, what you will actually see in your people, and what they need from you at that moment, from simple context and concrete examples all the way to small wins, support to experiment, clear guidance, and long term reinforcement. My goal is not to help you push people to the end of the curve but to help you recognize where they really are so you can guide their next step with clarity, care, and generosity. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

Welcome to a very special podcast! It's special for many reasons. First, as a longtime admirer of Mettle Health's visionary work supporting people through change and loss, Meg Pekarske was elated when co-founder Sonya Dolan and counselor Bridget Sumser said yes to being on the podcast. Second, a discussion of how we face endings seems fitting for Meg's last episode as host of the Hospice Insights podcast. Endings, whether a result of a diagnosis, aging, or other life changes, raise big questions related to identity, purpose, and meaning. Mettle Health offers emotional accompaniment for patients and caregivers working through not only the existential but practical questions brought about by illness, disability, and aging. The organization fills an essential gap left in our fragmented healthcare system. In this passionate and compassionate conversation, we explore how Mettle Health's unique model of care works, the advantages and challenges of running a largely “direct to consumer” healthcare business, how generational shifts may impact how we confront the challenges of serious illness in the future, the role and limits of technology in providing meaningful support and much more. We're confident the Hospice Insights podcast will live on in the capable hands of longtime colleague and frequent guest Bryan Nowicki. He will do an outstanding job, and Meg will still be around and looks forward to being a guest a time or two. She started this podcast more than six years ago as a way to connect and provide support to our colleagues and partners. Thanks as always for your loyal support! For more information on the innovative work of Mettle Health, check out their website.

What do leaders do differently to create participation, ownership, and trust?In this episode of Women Leaders on the Move, Selena Rezvani, President, NextGenWomen LLC sits down with host Natalie Benamou to talk about how leaders shape their teams through everyday actions. This conversation focuses on what leaders say, how they listen, and what they do to involve others in the work.Selena shares examples from her bestselling book, ‘Quick Leadership: Build Trust, Navigate Change, and Cultivate Unstoppable Teams' and from her work inside organizations. Together, Natalie and Selena discuss how meetings are run, how responsibility is shared, and how leaders influence engagement by inviting people into the process.This episode is for leaders who want their teams to participate, contribute, and lead as equals3 Takeaways from ‘Quick Leadership':Leaders invite participation early. When people are included from the start, they stay engaged and contribute more consistently.Leaders ask before they answer. Pausing to hear others builds ownership and strengthens accountability.Leaders share responsibility. Giving others a role in leading meetings and decisions creates confidence and momentum.Memorable quotes from Selena Rezvani“If your meetings are silent, your people are managing you.”“It's not your job to have all the answers.”“Leadership shows up in small, everyday moments.”Try This One Thing: The "First 5 Minutes" RuleThe Insight: If people are silent at the start of a meeting, they often stay silent until the end. Selena shares that research shows if someone speaks in the first 5 minutes, they are significantly more likely to contribute later.The Action: Open your next meeting by asking everyone to answer a simple, low-stakes prompt before you dive into the agenda.What to Say: "Everyone, we're here to talk about [Topic] today. Before we start, I want to hear from each of you: What is one word that comes to mind when you think of [Topic]?"Why It Works: It breaks the "lecture" dynamic immediately and signals that this is a space for participation, not just listening.Keep shining your light bright. The world needs you.About the GuestSelena Rezvani helps people show up, speak up, and shake up the way work gets done.

Sunday, November 23, 2025 – Guest Speaker Pastor Carey Waldie delivers a timely message at Center Point titled, “Navigating Change.” In this message, Pastor Carey challenges both personally and corporately that the true mark of a Christian is someone who acknowledges, accepts, and welcomes change as a normal part of growing in Christ. In fact, if someone claims to follow Jesus but doesn’t embrace change in their life, they’re not truly a follower. If Jesus is to lead, then we must be willing to change in order to follow. The Bible states that not only does God love us just the way we are, but He loves us so much that He won’t allow us to stay the same. This makes change a necessary part of our journey. As a church, the same principle applies, especially as we go through the process of changing pastors. We, as a body, will need to embrace the changes a new pastor will bring. This is a message you need to listen to repeatedly because of the important information to absorb and apply. Pastor Carey shares much more — you just need to hear his message. So, join us in worship and study as we learn to Navigate Change.

Change is part of life—but that doesn't mean it's easy. Transitions—whether personal, professional, planned, or unexpected—can shake our sense of identity, rhythm, and control. Even positive change can feel disruptive when it alters what we've known or how we've operated.

They discuss the emotional toll of transition, the importance of anchoring to your values, and the power of intentional structure when everything feels uncertain. Stability doesn't mean staying the same—it means moving forward with clarity. Episode Highlights: Matt lists common life transitions like marriage, divorce, and kids going to college, highlighting their emotional and financial effects. (02:55) Erik questions whether the success of transitions is more impacted by finances or relationships. (05:44) Matt notes how impulsive decisions during transitions can undermine thoughtful planning. (10:19) Erik emphasizes connecting transitions to long-term goals and personal values. (15:58) Erik recommends consulting entrepreneurs who've navigated similar changes for grounded insight. (19:12) Matt discusses the importance of mindset—acceptance, action steps, and reframing change as opportunity. (21:56) Matt introduces desire and timing as key mindsets when assessing transition readiness. (24:45) Matt encourages committing to decisions without fantasizing about alternatives.

In unstable times, there's one thing that can totally block you from having the positive change you want. The crazy thing is you probably don't even realize it's happening to you, because of the constant distraction stirred up by the “us vs them” rhetoric, all the noise of everything going on around us, all of the stories that we're constantly being bombarded with. So in this episode, we're discussing how to best navigate change in polarized times so that you're able to take advantage of the opportunities that show up rather than getting pulled into all the drama.
