009 - Get Clear on Why Change is Hard

Najwa Zebian & Stephan Maighan
About this episode

We all struggle with change in our lives, whether it's a change we choose, a change life chooses for us, or a change we need to make in order to live an authentic life. 

In this episode, Najwa shares the knowledge and experience she gained on change over the years, and what the toughest parts of it are. She also discusses how to think and feel your way through the struggle.

The answer is simple: change is hard because we want it to be easy. Change is hard because it causes a break in the reality we live in. Let's dive into this together. 

In The Clear, with Dr. Najwa Zebian and Stephan Maighan. Helping you gain clarity on all aspects of your life using a balanced approach that employs both logic and emotion.
