44: Making Space for Change: The Non-Negotiable of a Regenerative Career Transition

This week, I’m sharing what I consider to be the most essential — and perhaps most overlooked — part of any regenerative career transition: making space for change.

This isn’t just about blocking out time or finding one free hour to think. It’s about creating the kind of space where real change can take root — the kind that allows something new to emerge, rather than squeezing transformation into the margins of an already full life. Space in time, space in your physical environment, space in your internal world. Space to listen, to receive, to be changed.

It’s not easy. I’ve spent 15 years as an entrepreneur — a problem-solver, an instigator, a creator. My instinct is always to do. But over the past few years (and especially in the last few months), I’ve been learning what it really means to stop pushing and start preparing. To stop striving and start co-creating. To wait without knowing exactly what’s coming next.

In this episode, I reflect on:

• The layered meaning of “make space for change”

• Why so many people struggle with this (myself included)

• How I’ve seen it play out in client journeys — and the difference it makes

• The role of nature, rest, and even internal quiet as essential components of career transition

• How over-consumption (even of learning) can crowd out your ability to hear your own guidance
