What To Do When Everything Is Changing - Episode 229

Life is full of change, sometimes gradual, sometimes sudden, and it can leave us feeling unsettled, anxious or even stuck. In this episode Brian Berneman explores how to navigate personal and societal change with awareness, resilience and trust in life’s natural flow.

Change is not a failure. It is a universal law. From a nervous system perspective, uncertainty triggers fight, flight or freeze responses. Feeling unsettled during transitions is normal, it’s how your body signals that old patterns, roles or beliefs are shifting.

But within disruption lies opportunity. When the familiar dissolves, you are invited to examine unconscious patterns, release what no longer serves you and consciously evolve. Brian shares strategies to use external change as momentum for internal growth and healing.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How to stay grounded and calm during uncertain times
• Simple daily anchor points to create stability (like routines, hydration and somatic practices)
• Tools for emotional regulation and nervous system self-care
• How to reframe “what-if” thinking to focus on positive possibilities
• Ways to honor endings, grieve loss and step into transformation
• How community and connection support resilience

Whether you’re facing personal transitions, relationship shifts or societal change, this episode provides guidance to help you trust the process, embrace impermanence and turn uncertainty into a catalyst for growth.

Reflective questions to explore while listening:

• What in my life is asking to be released?
• What part of me is being strengthened through this change?
• If I trusted these transitions, how would I show up differently?
