Over the course of adulthood, transitional life phases are not clear and organized processes. Raising families, deaths, marriages, separations, making career decisions or entering retirement, are just a few of these transitions. These phases can create confusion, contemplation, despair, or disrupt your connection to the self or others. Learning how to embrace these life phases with curiosity, compassion, and exploration can cultivate a more meaningful life.
