Change You Didn't Want

This episode is brought to you by the Change Makers Certification Program!  In this solo episode of Even Better, host Sinikka Waugh takes on a challenge we've all faced: dealing with change we didn't ask for, didn't expect, and maybe didn't even want. When circumstances shift outside of our control, it's natural to feel resistance, frustration, or even grief. With her trademark clarity and compassion, Sinikka explores how the power of the pause can shape our response, whether or not a change can be undone, what it means to envision a "point B," and how we can choose to make the journey in ways that honor ourselves and others. Whether you're leading a team, managing a project, or simply navigating life's unexpected turns, this episode offers encouragement and practical tools for moving through unwanted change with purpose and resilience. As Sinikka reminds us, "We may not choose the change, but we can choose how we move through it."
