Ep 90. How I’ve made make huge identity-shifting decisions over the last decade+

There comes a point where staying the same starts to feel more painful than changing.

I think that’s where a lot of big decisions actually begin.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it has looked like for me to make huge, identity-shifting decisions over the last decade plus, and what I’m living through right now as I decide whether I’m leaving San Francisco, the Bay Area, or even the country.

I’m talking about what it looks like when you know something in your life no longer fits, but saying that out loud comes with grief, guilt, fear, and a whole lot of uncertainty.

I’m sharing the questions I ask myself when I know something needs to change, why overthinking is often under-feeling, and why clarity usually starts with getting honest about what you no longer want.

If you’re a cycle breaker, a daughter of immigrants, or a woman building a business and a life that asks more of you than the status quo ever did, I think this episode will really speak to you.

In this episode, I talk about:

• how to make a big life decision when you don’t have all the answers
• why identity shifts require discomfort, expansion, and self-trust
• the difference between indecision and avoiding your feelings
• reflection questions to help you know whether it’s time to leave, move, pivot, or begin again
• what I’m learning in real time as I make a major life decision of my own
