When It's Too Much Change All at Once
Feeling overwhelmed by too many life changes at once? Why does life tend to dole out major changes in groups? We discuss "change fatigue," the three parts of any big transition, and how to find a little more resilience in times of big uncertainty.
Have you ever felt like your life consisted of too many moving parts at the same time? In this episode, we explore why life tends to deliver too much change at once—and the difference between an actual change and the larger, more uncertain area of transition that both precedes and follows any big change.
We discuss:
- Why even positive and worked-toward life transitions can feel overwhelming once they arrive
- What "change saturation" and "change fatigue" look like
- How your business partners, family members, or loved ones might be going through the same change, but on a very different transition timeline
