Episode notes

Change can bring unseen and unwanted transformations, accompanied by a grieving process for the loss of the original order. It highlights the concept of 'having' versus 'being' orientation, where defining oneself by core values and essence provides stability amidst changing circumstances. Non-attachment may not be feasible for those living in the world, so the practical approach is to balance attachment with a sense of being, allowing one to lean on being qualities for stability during big changes. This non-dual process involves grieving the loss while holding onto deepest-held truths, which can help to soften the impact of disorder and disruption, providing a sense of ground to stand on amidst disorientation.

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.
