Conquering the Fear of Change: Steps to Embrace Transformation

In this episode of the Flourishing After Adversity podcast, host Laura Mangum Broome discusses overcoming the fear of change and its commonality.

Laura shares her personal experiences with significant life changes and provides resilience strategies to help listeners reclaim power and pursue their dreams. The episode also highlights a free resource, 'Reframe the Spiral,' to help manage negative thoughts during times of uncertainty.
