Everything ends. Jobs. Relationships. Chapters of your life.
Even versions of YOU end. And new ones come online.
Sometimes change can feel amazing. (Let's burn away the old and make space for the new!)
And sometimes change is upsetting and destabilizing.
You might wonder if it means you're doing life wrong.
Society like to mess with our heads by holding up permanence as the ideal.
It's why 10-year job anniversaries and golden marriage anniversaries get celebrated. (Even if those jobs/marriages have been a total horror show for the people involved.)
It's easy to forget a fundamental truth: Nothing in life is supposed to be permanent.
Just knowing this can be a huge game changer.
It can free you to release relationships, jobs, places, chapters, and versions of yourself that are now complete so you can make room for what's next.
On this week's podcast episode, we dig into the "Myth of Permanence," how it messes with our heads, and how to counteract it and find freedom.
