Hello, beautiful souls, This is Pascale Gibon, your host and guide on this incredible journey we call life. Hurray, a celebration is in the air today! Can you feel it? We have reached an amazing milestone, and it is all thanks to you - our wonderful listeners. We celebrate today the 300th episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you so much for making it possible by joining us every single week.

 

The Everyday Life Balance Show is more than just a podcast; it is a transformational journey of self-discovery and personal growth. And my greatest wish is that you find life-changing insights and inspiration here and that you apply them to create a purposeful, fulfilling, harmonious and love-filled life.

 

Today, I will cover a special topic: life transitions.

As you know, we experience various life transitions throughout our lives. I have had my fair share too travelling as a toddler to different places and later making significant moves from one city to another country. Each transition enriched my life culturally and personally. However, the most impactful life transition for me was the following: the darkest night of the soul. 

During this challenging time, I questioned the very meaning of my life and desperately sought to understand my purpose. I sought divine guidance. And you know out of the darkness, a new awakening emerged, a powerful shift from self-centredness to altruism, and the discovery that my life purpose is to enhance the lives of others. This discovery was such a transformative moment!

 

Life transitions are inevitable, and they can truly change the trajectory of our lives. It is intentional when it emerges from our desire for personal growth and to reach a higher ideal.

 

Take Annette, for example, who was an empty nester and eager to reinvent her career. Even though she faced obstacles and lacked emotional and financial support, she chose resourcefulness to make her dreams come true.

As Oprah Winfrey wisely says, we all yearn to live out the truest, highest expression of ourselves as human beings, just like Annette did.

 

We go through many life cycles in life. Therefore entering a new life cycle is natural and always offers a personal growth opportunity. Would you agree that our lives ought to be rich in experiences?

Just imagine Annette's new life cycle and opportunity for growth. She had been out of the job market for at least 18 years and was now ready to reinvent her career, make a meaningful contribution and have a sense of purpose. Her transition is great nourishment for her soul!
