028 Making Space for Yourself in a Life That’s Changing

In this episode, I open up about the emotional side of change—the kind we don’t always talk about. Whether you're navigating grief, relationship shifts, or outgrowing old roles and values, change can feel disorienting even when it’s chosen.

I share my personal experience of leaving hospital nursing after 17 years and the unexpected grief that came with losing part of my identity, even as I stepped into a new chapter I genuinely love.

We talk about:

• Why grief shows up even in positive transitions
  
  
• How relationships naturally evolve over time (and that’s okay)
  
  
• The power of reviewing your past year to see what you’ve really been prioritizing
  
  
• How to start living in closer alignment with your current values
  
  

If you’ve been feeling the tension between who you were and who you’re becoming, this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and you’re not doing it wrong—your emotional response to change is valid and worthy of compassion.

I also share a simple exercise to reflect on your priorities, plus how to navigate transitions with self-trust and grace. And if you’re in the middle of a big shift and feeling overwhelmed, know that I’m here. You can always reach out for support or a coaching consultation call.

Thanks for being here,
Coach Betty
