Your Predictable Cycle of Change: The 5 Stages & How to Breakthrough

Be Well Be Wild

Feeling stuck making work-life changes? This podcast episode explores the emotional rollercoaster we experience when trying to make changes and offers a 5-day challenge to help you break through!

Jennie Wolfe outlines the five stages of this cycle, according to the Emotional Cycle of Change model developed by Don Kelly and Darrell Connor.

There's a predictable 5-stage emotional cycle of change:

  1. Uninformed optimism (excitement): You see the benefits but not the challenges.
  2. Informed pessimism (doubt): You hit challenges and question your ability.
  3. Valley of despair (self-sabotage): You feel overwhelmed and give up.
  4. Hopeful realism (action): You accept challenges and develop strategies.
  5. Informed optimism (confidence): You feel successful and equipped for future changes.

Here's the good news: getting stuck in the "Valley of Despair" doesn't have to be your fate! The episode offers a solution – a 5-day challenge designed to help you navigate these stages and emerge stronger.
