Change doesn’t just alter our circumstances.

It confronts our identity, challenges our illusion of control, and invites us to evolve from who we believe we are toward why we are.

In this episode, we explore how we can shift our relationship with change — especially the unwanted and unforeseen kind — from resistance to revelation.

Drawing inspiration from Stoic philosophy, modern neuroscience, Adam Grant’s work on belief flexibility, and Maya Shankar’s The Other Side of Change, this conversation examines:

  • Why change often feels like a threat rather than an opportunity
  • How attachment to identity fuels resistance
  • The difference between volunteered change and imposed change
  • Why our WHY becomes our compass when life knocks us off course
  • The power of curiosity in becoming better agents of change
  • The role of moral elevation in expanding who we believe we can become
  • Why “we contain multitudes” — and why that matters

This episode re-frames change not as something to endure, but as something to wield.

Because:

Change doesn’t interrupt the path. It reveals it.
What happens to us does not define us.
How we evolve through it does.

As always, the invitation is simple —

return to this moment, and choose consciously who you are becoming.

Right here. Right now.
