When a Big Move Feels Impossible—Ask This First

from An Imperfectly Perfect Life with Shari Leid · host Shari Leid

Send us a text Starting over is never easy, but it's often where our most profound growth happens. Welcome to Season 3 of "An Imperfectly Perfect Life," where I'm taking you along on my journey of reinvention after divorce, transitioning from stay-at-home motherhood, and relocating to Dallas—a city where I currently have zero established connections.Feeling overwhelmed by change? You're not alone. My secret weapon against paralysis is asking, "What's the easiest next step?" These small, consistent actions don't just change outcomes—they transform how we see ourselves and our possibilities. From practical moving strategies like dedicated daily time blocks and digital organization tools to psychological techniques like mentally placing myself in Dallas before physically arriving, I'm sharing my real-time process of rebuilding from the ground up.Creating community in a new environment is perhaps the greatest challenge of relocation. As someone who professionally advises others on building meaningful connections, I'm now putting my expertise to the personal test. By proactively researching and contacting organizations aligned with my interests—from professional speaking groups to dance communities—I'm laying groundwork for future relationships before even arriving. This season has already brought unexpected opportunities: an invitation to the prestigious Renaissance Weekend think tank, joining a major speakers bureau, and evolving my small retreat concept into "Flip the Box Live: The Connection Conference" scheduled for 2026.
