Ever wondered what it takes to embrace change without feeling like a failure? In this episode of Bold Beautiful Borderline, Sara Amundson takes listeners on her personal journey of navigating significant life changes and the emotional turmoil that often accompanies them. Sara shares her recent transition from working as a therapist in private practice to taking on a role as a re-entry social worker at a men's prison.
This shift, driven by both external pressures and internal burnout, has led her to question her professional identity and confront the fear of failure. Sara candidly discusses the challenges of adapting to new environments and the anxiety that comes with stepping out of her comfort zone. She explores the psychological definition of change and how reframing it can lead to personal growth rather than defeat.
With humour and honesty, Sara provides insights into why change can be so daunting, including fear of the unknown and the moral force of routine. Listeners will find practical advice on how to embrace change, from acknowledging feelings and setting intentions to reframing thinking patterns and building a strong support system. This episode is a reminder that change, while uncomfortable, is not synonymous with failure but rather an opportunity for growth and stability. So, what does change mean to you?
