089. Feeling Stuck in the Change Process? Change Isn’t the Issue — Transition Is
More ways to listen:
Most of us start our blended family journey with high expectations and excitement about our family's future.
We might know that many things are going to have to change — and change is hard, right?
Surprisingly, no. Change isn't hard…
…it's the process of transition where most of us get stuck. Somewhere along the way, most of us are left wondering why it's so difficult to reach the new reality we really want — a reality we're sure will be good for everyone once we get there.
The truth is, it's normal for adults and kids to experience pain and frustration as they release "the old way" of life and adjust to their new blended family reality.
That's transition.
The good news is that nobody has to stay stuck in the confusing haze of transition. You can intentionally take steps to ease the tension and help everyone embrace your new beginning — even if you've been blending for years!
In this episode, we'll show you how.
You'll Discover:
Why new beginnings seem to trigger loss in a blended family
What is the "neutral zone" and how do you get through it
How to help everyone move toward the positive aspects of change while navigating through the pain of transition
