Why I created the Master of Change: I'm no stranger to transitions. One day I'm doing all the things: 9-5, side-hustle'n, shack'n up, hosting our families and the next day (literally) I'm unexpectedly single. Within less than 24 hours my entire world flipped upside down.
In the absence of many things this year: my ovary (and decision not to have children), grandmother, sense of smell (very needed because I rely on this to navigate chemical sensitivities), Fulfillament (we have decided to create our own things), my job as CXO & radio show personality and my partner for the last two years, it's hard not to be consumed by the multilayered void I feel in my life. It's huge. Gaping.
I found peace in remembering how strong I am. I am not starting over. I'm starting from experience. Transition is my second language. I moved 37 times before I found a house. I've had several careers, a very lonely spiritual pilgrimage and navigated health challenges around every turn. I know how to reach out to people and ask for help. When I called Rob he said, "When it storms, cows run away from the weather prolonging their suffering. The buffalo run into it. You have a choice." I decided to become the buffalo.
I leaned into my pain by doing what scared me the most - facing the elements wholeheartedly, going into the darkness of the unknown.
Recently a client said to me, "Shea. No offense, but your life seems to be a mess (we both started to laugh) and yet here you are helping me so much. It made me realize that I don't have to be perfect to get started. I just have to be me." She's right.
