Life Transitions

Sometimes the question “What do I want?” is too big to be helpful. This is especially true when you are in a transition, when you are tired, or when the life you have built still functions on the outside but something inside you has started to feel less alive and joyful than it used to.

There is a particular kind of disorientation that comes from continuing on, from pushing yourself to stay in the version of yourself that doesn't resonate with you anymore.

You can have a good life and still feel deeply unhappy. You can have a partner, a child, a stable job, a comfortable home, an international life, and still have this strange feeling that something is missing. Not missing in the dramatic sense. Not necessarily: I need to leave everything and start again. More like: Why does this not feel the way I thought it would?

I work a lot on myself. One of the topics I’ve been focusing on recently is having fun. Not in the obvious sense of going out or seeking entertainment, but in something much simpler and, for me, much harder: allowing myself to enjoy what I’m doing. That means doing things not because they are productive, useful, or necessary, but simply because I want to. For a long time, this way of approaching life felt almost foreign. I grew up in an environment where hard work was not jus

Returning to work after maternity leave is not a simple continuation. It is a transition. And like most real transitions, it is slower, more complex, and more layered than what we tend to prepare for.

There comes a moment in many professional lives when the role that once felt like an achievement begins to feel constricting. From an external perspective everything might look enviable. You have accumulated experience, credibility, seniority. You know how to navigate your environment. Others rely on you. And yet, internally, there is a growing sense that something essential no longer fits.

Life transitions and self-confidence are deeply connected. Whenever we enter a new chapter, our sense of stability is shaken. A career shift, becoming a parent, moving countries, ending a relationship, or returning to work after a break — all of these moments tend to bring uncertainty, doubt, and anxiety. Often, what suffers most is our confidence. You may start questioning decisions you would normally make without hesitation. You may overanalyze conversations. You may feel s

Becoming a mother is a major life transition — biologically, emotionally, socially, and psychologically. It’s common to think we know what to expect when we talk about parenthood: there will be diapers, sleepless nights, feedings around the clock, and new rhythms we’ve never known. What’s less talked about — and less prepared for — are the changes to identity, especially for women after their first child. The sense of self we carried into motherhood can feel shaken, rearrange

There comes a moment, quiet or explosive, when something inside us reaches a boiling point. A job that once fit now feels constricting. A role we worked hard to earn no longer reflects who we are. At that moment, many of us feel a powerful urge to start over. Not just to make some adjustments, but to fully drop everything and begin again from scratch.

Feeling lost is uncomfortable, and surprisingly common. Many people experience it during life transitions—moments when something in their life changes or no longer fits, but the next step isn’t clear yet. This can happen after a career shift, a breakup, becoming a parent, recovering from burnout, or simply realizing that the life you’ve been living no longer feels aligned. If you’re feeling uncertain, disconnected, or unsure which way to go, you’re not broken; you’re likely i

Becoming a parent is one of life’s most profound transitions. It’s beautiful, messy, overwhelming, and—let’s be honest—sometimes downright weird. One day you’re debating which Netflix series to binge, and the next you’re Googling “is green poop normal?” at 3 a.m. Everyone has advice. Your neighbor, your mother-in-law, the cashier at the organic store. And while some of it might be helpful, a lot of it can feel like noise. That’s where coaching comes in—not to add more opinion
