Change is one of the few certainties in life—and yet, it can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and even destabilizing. In this episode, we explore the Cycle of Renewal and how it helps us understand the transitions we face both personally and collectively.

Together, we’ll talk about:

  • What life transitions really are, with everyday examples.
  • The symptoms of burnout that often follow change overload.
  • The four types of life transitions we all experience.
  • How transitions push us to make necessary changes in life.
  • The Cycle of Renewal (by the Hudson Institute) and its four phases: The Doldrums, Cocooning, Getting Ready, and Going For It.
  • How to recognize which phase you are in and align your actions accordingly.
  • Coping strategies to navigate transitions while finding purpose and meaning.

Whether you’re navigating personal loss, career changes, or simply the ongoing collective shifts of our times, this episode will guide you through the natural rhythm of renewal.

Reflection exercise included to help you discover which phase you’re in right now.
