Episode Summary: “Change/Transition”


Change is more situational and concrete, while transition is psychological and emotional, involving smaller changes related to the big change.


Recognizing the difference between change and transition can help understand why things are difficult.


Transition involves three stages: ending, neutral zone, and beginning, each with its own characteristics and challenges.


Communication, trust, and grace are crucial during times of change and transition.


Reflecting on past experiences, retelling stories, and being present in the moment can provide resilience and courage during transitions.


The Something Different Podcast covers a wide range of topics related to faith, family, leadership, and the good life. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but always authentic and for sure something different. Our hope is to share practical thoughts about the intersection of faith and life. Tune in on the first Tuesday of every month to hear faith building conversations that aim to inspire and energize your journey!
