Navigating Life Transitions and Big Moves (Personal Story)

Emily Williams Smiling

The latest episode of the “I Heart My Life Show” is out now, and it’s all about navigating significant life transitions. Our host Emily Williams shares her personal journey moving from Austin, Texas, back to her hometown of Columbus, Ohio, and the lessons learned along the way.

Key Takeaways:

  • Facing Uncertainty: How I made a huge decision without being 100% sure it was the right one.
  • Making Big Moves: What convinced us to pack up and head closer to family.
  • Daily Life Realizations: The little things (like weather and convenience) that can make a big difference in happiness.
  • The Power of Family: How being near family has changed our lives for the better.
  • Self-Discovery: Staying true to what you need, even when your needs change.

Quotes:

  • “Your daily life is what’s making up the big picture life, the things that you’re doing on a regular basis.”
  • “I felt like I would be reverting. I felt like I’d be going backwards. And so it was this huge sort of identity upheaval for me and confusion around what it would mean if I end up in my hometown.”
  • “The truth is, you might not know 100% how something is going to feel, what it’s going to look like, what you’re going to experience.”
  • “I think that there’s going to be a lot of healing for you and coming back, coming full circle 15 years later after you left, and that’s exactly what has happened.”
  •  “I think it’s really important for kids to experience other cultures, to see more than just their immediate sort of network of friends and family, and to just expand their horizons a bit.”
  •  “You get to decide how you experience life and what happens in the next chapter and what’s aligned for you today, because it might be different than what was aligned for you ten years ago, or even five years ago, or even yesterday.”
  • “The truth is, life can be challenging, but it is possible for all women to love themselves and their lives.”
