Feeling Lost After a Layoff, Loss, or Life Change? 5 Stages That Will Help You Find Your Way Back
May 29, 2026
If you’ve been feeling lost, disconnected, or like the life you’re living no longer fits who you are, I made this for you.Β
In this episode of my podcast Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I share my framework of the 5 Stages of Identity Transformation. I’ve seen this pattern in my own life and in the lives of the amazing people I work with, and I want to give you language for what you’re experiencing.
β± CHAPTER β Who this episode is for
Stage 1: Discontent (when something no longer fits)
Stage 2: Disruption (what life is actually revealing)
Stage 3: Detangling (separating your authentic self from who you were conditioned to be)
Stage 4: Disconnection (the wilderness in-between)
Stage 5: Direction (finding your way back home) A benediction for your journey
π THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF…
β You’ve experienced a layoff, career change, or burnout
β You’re navigating grief, divorce, or a health crisis
β You’re going through a faith or spiritual shift
β You feel like you’ve been silencing the real you for too long
β Something feels off β even when your life looks fine to everyone else
