I've recovered from my run, and I’m ready for our monthly catch-up! So, grab your favorite drink and let's jump in—there's so much to explore, from resilience to redefining ourselves, and the value of human creativity. Let's go!
Embracing discomfort
As I pounded the pavement in Chicago during my second full marathon - the entire 42.2km - I realized that marathons are more than just physical challenges. They’re powerful metaphors for life. Each race brings that inevitable moment of exhaustion, but I've learned to embrace it. It's in those tough moments that resilience is built. Are you ready to reframe discomfort as growth?
"New identities" over "Possible career paths"
Speaking of discomfort, career reinvention is often deeply unsettling. It's easy to focus on the next job title or position. But what if the bigger question is about who you want to become, rather than what you want to do? Take a moment to check out this piece which provides practical tips on how to cope with the loss of identity while changing careers.
Are you stuck in limbo?
You might be in a liminal space - that in-between phase where everything feels uncertain. These moments are where growth happens, which brings us back to embracing discomfort! This Forbes article sheds light on the concept of liminal space, the impact it can have on our mental health, along with techniques on how to handle this state of being.
