Your 4-Step Guide to Smoother Transitions. Why new feels wrong even when it's better.

TUNE IN TO LEARN:

Feeling uncomfortable with a new job, home, or relationship even though it's objectively better than what you had before?  

You're not alone, and there's a neurological reason for it. 

The Change Wired podcast tackles one of life's most universal experiences: transitions. Drawing from personal experience after moving to a new apartment, host Angela Shurina unpacks why our brains resist change at a biological level and how to make resistance smaller.   

Armed with 15+ years of coaching experience, Angela shares a powerful 4-step framework anyone can use to navigate transitions more effectively, and lead others - family, team, organizations - through change smoother.  

 
This episode offers particular value for leaders guiding teams through organizational changes. Understanding that resistance isn't personal but neurological can transform your approach to change management. The same principles that help us adapt to a new home apply to career shifts, relationship evolutions, and organizational transformations. 

In a world where the pace of change continues to accelerate, mastering transitions isn't just helpful—it's essential. Whether you're facing a personal or professional transition, or leading others through change, this episode provides the blueprint for smoother, more productive adaptations.  

Listen, apply, and share with someone who might benefit from understanding why new feels wrong, even when it's right.
