Episode notes

Making the decision to go all in on one area of life can lead to neglecting other important aspects such as relationships and health. This neglect can result in a dual wake-up call, where not only is the primary focus lost, but other areas are also discovered to be dysfunctional or nonexistent. One way to avoid this is to define different 'rooms' in your life, such as family, personal endeavors, and health, and establish a minimum level of engagement with each, even during times of intense focus on one area. Setting boundaries and time constraints can help ensure that neglected areas do not deteriorate during periods of intense focus.

Change is hard. But what if embracing change led to your greatest growth? My guest is Brad Stulberg, bestselling author of Master of Change: How to Excel When Everything Is Changing – Including You.

Brad shares how we can cultivate “rugged flexibility” to gracefully navigate cycles of order, disorder and reorder. Imagine harnessing the storms of change to help you grow into your best self. Brad upends conventional wisdom, showing how accepting impermanence allows us to become our best selves. Having weathered major life changes himself, Brad did extensive research on how we can thrive amidst instability. This eye-opening discussion will challenge your assumptions and show you how to make peace with change.
