The 6 Stages of Change: Why Letting Go Feels Like Grief — and How You Become You Again

Why does real change feel so hard — even when you want it?
In this raw and soul-stirring episode of Change_liscious, we explore the 6 emotional stages of change through the lens of grief, healing, and self-evolution.

Inspired by the groundbreaking research of psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, this conversation reveals how every deep transformation mirrors the process of mourning:

1. Rejection

2. Anger

3. Negotiation

4. Sadness

5. Acceptance

6. Prototyping

You’ll learn:
✅ Why resistance isn’t weakness — it’s part of the healing
✅ How to recognize which stage you’re in (and move forward with compassion)
✅ What happens after acceptance — and why it’s the most powerful part of all
✅ How to prototype your new life based on soul, not survival

Whether you’re navigating a career shift, relationship change, spiritual awakening or identity evolution — this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

🎧 Hit play if you're ready to:
— Make peace with the mess
— Reclaim your energy
— And move into your next chapter without leaving your truth behind

✨ You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
