The Courage to Change: Embracing Uncertainty with Purpose, Roundtable Discussion
Change isn’t easy. It stretches us, asks us to let go of what we know, and invites us into the unknown. In this roundtable conversation, I sat down with Dr. Pamela Moss, LeeAnn Mallorie, Crina Ancuta, Angela Nesbitt, and Jo Meadwell to explore what it really takes to navigate change with courage and purpose.
We talked about the moments that challenge us most—when life asks us to step into something new before we feel ready. We shared stories of identity shifts, resilience, and the deep work of trusting ourselves when the ground beneath us feels shaky. Whether it’s personal transformation, professional reinvention, or the uncertainty that comes with big life transitions, this conversation is filled with wisdom, honesty, and insights that will help you embrace change more intentionally.
If you’ve ever found yourself resisting change or wondering how to navigate it with more grace, this episode is for you. Listen in as we explore what it means to align with purpose in uncertain times—and how to find the courage to become who we’re meant to be.
