Summary

As 2022 comes to a close, everyone is talking about their goals and resolutions; but we’re not going to talk about that here. Instead, Maryellen wants to talk about how freaking hard change is. She discusses:  How we avoid change   How she thinks change is difficult because it’s uncomfortable, and we don’t like feeling uncomfortable   Some big personal news/personal change: she sold her therapy practice   Needing time to sit with that change and recover   How she’s dealing with change, including reminding herself that uncomfortable does not equal bad, and that taking a step back can be a good thing to propel you forward   Lastly, Maryellen explains that she needs to also take a step back from the podcast in order to properly rest and reconfigure. She truly believes this isn’t goodbye, but see you later.
