Send Jay comments via textFeeling lost now that your nest has emptied? You’re not alone—but that silence in your home doesn’t have to be the end of your story. Instead, it can be the opening note to your most authentic chapter yet. In this transformative episode, we explore how major life changes—like empty nesting, career shifts, or personal reinvention—are rooted in who we want to become, not just how we’ll do it. Through relatable stories like Lisa, who questioned if binge-watching Netflix was her new purpose, and John, who believed he was “too old to start over,” we see how the stories we tell ourselves shape our experiences during these shifts.What makes this approach different? It’s all about doing the inner work first. Before rushing into activities or projects, we examine the beliefs, fears, and identities that might be keeping us stuck. Guided by Carol Dweck’s research on mindset, we learn to shift from a fixed mindset (“I’m only a parent”) to a growth mindset (“Who can I become now?”).You’ll get practical prompts to uncover limiting beliefs, embrace vulnerability as your strength, and celebrate small wins that propel you forward. Rediscover passions you shelved, and open the door to unexpected joy and purpose.Remember George Eliot’s words: "It’s never too late to be what you might have been." Whether you’re navigating an empty nest or other life transitions, this episode will help you move from simply watching life unfold to actively directing your next chapter.Download the free companion guide at bit.ly/whobeforehow and start your journey of rediscovery today.
