173. How I Did It: A Roadmap for Transitioning Well

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

What should you do when you encounter self doubt?

What does it mean to have your own back?

This is the first in a series of Question and Answer Podcasts. This episode shares the lessons I learned from my personal transition story.

Questions I answer in this episode

• Why did I get a coach in the first place?

• What was my background?

• Why did I pivot?

• What was it I wanted to do that I couldn't in my institution?

• Have I always trusted my intuition?

• What does having your own back mean?

• How did I grow the courage?

• What would I tell my younger self?

Pearls of Pause and Presence shared in this episode include:

• “Allow the road ahead of you to speak louder than the road behind you”

• Your way is the best – for you.

• What you practice grows

• Vulnerability is valuable

• Move towards something rather than away from something

• Support yourself well

• Consult your future self

• Trust yourself

• Make decisions from LOVE– Ask yourself what would love do?

• Stories can help as much as they can hurt. Telling good stories and crafting helpful narratives is powerful during transitions.

Transition Well will change your life by teaching you how to implement the above pearls. Consuming is one thing. Engaging in the work is a whole other experience.

If 1:1 coaching is more your speed or what you know you need. Learn more about that here: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching

Coaching is a gift of time and support. Change takes time. Give it time. Honor your journey and set yourself up for success with support.

Feedback from the Fall Cohort of Transition Well:

• Integrating mindfulness into everyday practice has been very helpful. Hand to heart and "peace begins with me" are so accessible and helpful with unease when it starts to creep in.

• “The investment is worth it”

• “It's very valuable and a relaxing experience, I looked forward to the coaching sessions and I liked that Jessie gave everyone time to share. It didn't feel like one or two people were dominating the conversation. Some days I felt like listening and other days I felt like sharing. “

• “DO IT! Super valuable at any stage of your career.”

• “This program has been so helpful in providing community and helping to find ways to deal with all the things that life brings.”

• “It was invaluable during my transition. I have reinforced the work with lots of podcasts and books too.”

• “It will give you tools and energy to get through the long haul”

• “Set yourself for success in your transition with loving kindness, compassionate guidance and skilled coaching with Jesse, amidst the camaraderie and community of others moving through similar, challenging journeys. The scary, roaring rapids ahead become an inviting, calmer river with gorgeous scenery all around.”
