What Nobody tells you about Change:
In this episode of Beyond the Norm, I dive into the truth about change, not as a single moment, but as a living, breathing process.
We’ll talk about the grief that comes with letting go of old identities, the awkward middle ground where everything feels uncertain, and the quiet resilience it takes to grow through transition.
I explore how change ripples through our families, teams, and communities and how our loyalty to old patterns can sometimes keep us stuck. This is a conversation about resourcing yourself, honouring your emotions, and learning to feel safe in the unfamiliar.
Because change isn’t a failure; it’s the system reorganising itself for your next evolution.
Takeaways
Change isn’t a one-off event : it’s a continuous cycle of becoming. ( Quelle Surprise Norma ;)
Your identity evolves with every shift.
Grieving your old self is part of healthy growth.
The messy middle is normal — and necessary.
Fear is not the enemy; it’s information.
Resourcing yourself is the ultimate act of self-care.
Your change impacts — and liberates — the system around you.
