Change doesn't have to be so hard: A Fiv...

DR. MONA AMIN
About this episode

We are constantly going through life transitions and as a new parent it can feel like it’s a CONSTANT. As your child develops, you are constantly going through major transitions as well. Becoming a new mom (or caregiver), maybe going back to work, your child starting school, health issues, etc. Change is constant in our lives but it can sometimes FEEL so hard. I welcome Dr. Krista Klein who has a PhD in interdisciplinary education, scholar, and mother dedicated to supporting other women who are navigating major transitions in their personal and professional lives.


She joins me to discuss: 

  • Why change is hard and how we can take control of change
  • The “SNAP to Impact” framework for change and why it’s helpful 
  • Why processing stress, burnout, and trauma is important in managing major life transitions
