One of our biggest challenges in life is adapting to change. Brad Stulberg, author of the book Master of Change, believes we need to “Be in conversation with change instead of it happening to you. Set appropriate expectations and adjust them when necessary. Cultivate a rugged yet flexible sense of self.” In this episode, Diana and Brad explore how we can thrive amidst change by developing a more fluid sense of self and a stronger connection to our core values.
