Ep. 369 Change Without Quitting: Aligning for a New Year

After seven years of weekly podcasting, we felt it was time to pause, reflect, and make a thoughtful shift.

In this episode, we talk honestly about change—what it is, what it isn’t, and how to recognize when it’s time to realign rather than quit. This isn’t about ending something. It’s about pruning, tending, and creating space for healthier growth.

We share why the podcast is shifting to an every-other-week rhythm, how our two sister podcasts will now work together, and what this kind of discernment has looked like for us as coaches and leaders. We also talk about capacity—how honoring it isn’t failure, but wisdom.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering:

• Is it time for something to change… or are we just tired?
• How do we honor our capacity without giving up on meaningful work?
• What does healthy growth actually look like in this season?

This conversation is for you.

Our hope is that as you listen, you’ll feel permission to slow down, notice what needs tending in your own life and work, and trust that change—when discerned well—can be a gift.
