Have you gone through a big life change that has left you feeling disconnected from yourself? Maybe it's becoming a parent? Or a new illness/diagnosis? Maybe it's a new job or moving to a new city? It's so easy for us to lose ourselves when we confront these kinds of personal shifts, let alone all the great wide forces in the world. It's easy to get lost with new restrictions on time, easy to be flattened by survival mode, easy to go limp when we feel powerless. In this episode we ask – How can we get underneath what was serving us before to reimagine a new shape for now? What was fulfilling us before, and what accommodations do we need meet those needs in a new landscape?
