Noelle Van
When life is going well, choosing to make a change can feel confusing or even unnecessary. But what if the quiet pull toward something new signals the next chapter in your personal transformation? This week on The Change Effect, I discuss the nuanced experience of choosing change when everything on the surface seems just fine.

In this episode, I discuss:
- How the loss of familiar reference points during change can lead to feelings of disorientation and how this affects your confidence, decision-making, and sense of self.
- Practical strategies for navigating identity shifts as you move through the “messy middle.”
- Gentle reminders to use routines, reflection, and simple structure to feel steady while clarity emerges—and why you don’t need a new label or explanation for your changes.
Not sure where to start? Check out my exercise, Navigating the In-Between, designed to help you reflect and move forward with ease and confidence.
