This summer marked a big milestone in my life, my youngest daughter graduated from high school. Her older sisters have already moved out and started their own chapters, and now, for the first time in over 20 years… I’m standing in a much quieter house.
It’s a mix of emotions: pride, excitement, nostalgia, and if I’m being honest, just a little bit of grief.
This season has reminded me of something powerful:
✨ Transitions aren’t just about change. They’re about becoming.
Whether you’re a mama watching her kids fly the nest, navigating a career pivot, going through a breakup, or even just shifting into a new season of life, you know how disorienting transitions can feel. But you also know how much growth lives on the other side.
Why Transitions Feel So Big
It’s not just about what’s changing outside, it’s about what’s shifting inside.
Transitions often disrupt our identity.
Who are we when we’re no longer needed in the same way?
When the roles we’ve carried for so long start to evolve?
When the rhythm of life doesn’t feel as familiar anymore?
We start asking deeper questions:
→ What do I want now?
→ Where do I go from here?
→ Who am I becoming in this new chapter?
These questions aren’t signs of falling apart. They’re signs of awakening.
The Wellness Boss Approach to Navigating Transitions
Over the years, I’ve worked with so many women moving through life’s turning points. And while every journey is unique, there are a few key practices that help anchor you in the process.
Here’s how I guide myself and my clients through change:
🌱 1. Honor the Ending
Let yourself feel what’s coming up. Grief, joy, anxiety, excitement there’s no “right” emotion during a transition. Emotional wellness means creating space to feel it all, without judgment.
Tip: Try journaling with the prompt:
“What am I letting go of, and what do I want to remember from this chapter?”
🧘♀️ 2. Reground Your Routines
When life feels unsteady, consistent habits become your lifeline. Come back to what nourishes you, movement, whole foods, sleep, hydration, and breathwork. These small anchors create big inner stability.
Tip: Start your mornings with a 5-minute grounding ritual: breathe, stretch, set one clear intention.
💫 3. Rewrite Your Identity
Transitions give us a blank page. Ask yourself:
What parts of me have I outgrown? What do I want to embody next?
You’re allowed to evolve, dream bigger, and create a new version of yourself one that aligns with your truth now.
💖 4. Don’t Do It Alone
We heal and grow in connection. Whether it’s through sisterhood, coaching, or spiritual practice find your circle. You don’t have to carry the weight of change alone.
Reminder: You’re not weak for needing support. You’re wise for seeking it.
Your Transition Is Sacred
Whatever shift you’re in right now, know this:
You’re not starting over.
You’re starting from experience.
And that makes all the difference.
You have the strength, wisdom, and softness to move through this with grace. Let the tears come. Let the laughter return. Let the next version of you unfold naturally.
Because when one chapter closes, it’s not the end. It’s the invitation to lead yourself, mind, body, and soul into the next one.
