Shownotes
A job ends. A relationship changes. Suddenly you are asking, who am I now? If you are in the uncomfortable in-between, this conversation is for you.
On Healing Horizons, host Ria talks with coach Steve Barton about navigating life transitions without losing yourself. You will hear why not knowing is normal, how identity is something you have and not who you are, and simple practices to steady yourself through change.
About the Guest:
Steve Barton coaches executives and high achievers. He spent 30 years running his family's flower business, and co-wrote The Father, the Son and the Moment with his son.
Key Takeaways:
- Nobody ever knew what was next. Getting comfortable with not knowing makes room for curiosity.
- Roles are tools, not you. Job titles and relationship labels are things you have.
- Sort what you control. Your inner world is yours; let go of the rest.
- Reframe fear as excitement. A loss can open space for what you care about.
- Start with gratitude. Even one breath is a place to begin.
