40. Finding Magic in Big Transitions: Breakups, Moves, and Grief with Nadia Last

Following calling off her wedding and breaking up with her partner of 7 years, Sam shares how she navigated the next six months.  After any big life changes - whether it be a breakup, a move, or a new job - there is an opportunity for growth and exciting opportunities.  In this episode, Sam shares about finding magic in times of instability and changes, and how to navigate the emotional lows and make space for the highs. Nadia Last - talented therapist and podcaster, and Sam’s best friend - interviews her about this experience. Together, Sam and Nadia discuss: Setting the intention for a time of big changes  Navigating intense emotional lows and making space for them Avoiding prematurely jumping into the next thing (relationship, job, etc) as a means to find false safety  Experiencing and prioritizing the feeling of presence  Finding true bliss in freedom and self-exploration Releasing the shame of breaking up with someone  Setting realistic expectations with your capacity and supporting yourself  Sam and Nadia unpack what it means to find magic after big changes, and honoring all parts of yourself.  To help you explore and evaluate your relationship, Sam created this FREE WORKBOOK called The Relationship Framework.
