Understanding the Preparation Stage of Change

This episode explores the preparation stage, the stage where change begins becoming intentional.

This is the stage where someone may still look the same from the outside, but internally something has shifted. Awareness has deepened, willingness is growing, and a person is beginning to imagine that another way of living might actually be possible.

Key topics

  • Preparation as a crucial stage in change
  • Supporting the nervous system during change
  • Building support networks and resources
  • The importance of planning and small wins
  • The importance of community
  • creating a road map for how you are going to deal with situations
