Embracing Life Transitions as the New Normal

–We are Living in Transition Now, What Stories Help Us Navigate this New Normal?

Kris Macchiarola left the corporate world because her activities there just didn’t align with her core values and priorities. What she discovered after leaving that world is a community of women in varying types of transitions in their lives: Divorce, empty nesting, career changes, priority changes, and a general desire for something different in their lives.

There appears to be three responses to these major life adjustments:

  1. People see an open door and choose to turn back around to the known dynamics of their previous jobs, industries, and types of partners, regardless of happiness and fulfillment.
  2. People see an open door and freeze, not knowing which opportunity to take because there seem to be too many options.
  3. People see an open door and leap across the threshold, choosing risk over safety and comfort because there are simply no other options for them.

In this podcast episode, we share some of our own stories of transition, the stories of some of our friends, and some important strategies and thought processes to consider in this changing world of transition.

  1. Sarah! Welcome to BC360! So great to see you here!

    And I love #3 because it represents what I’ve done most of my life: leap, then look. But luckily for me and obviously for others, including Kris Macchiarola, it can often work out just fine.

    • Me too, Susan, and I’ve been called impulsive for that reason! But yes, those leaps have worked out for me one way or another. Whatever has happened after the leap I’ve learned and grown as a result, in positive and negative situations. I think we consider each of these to have worked out just fine for that reason – we choose to see it that way.
