#170; Why Transformation Can Feel Like Failure

Changing The Story with Lana Dingwall

I’ve been having so many conversations with my clients and within The Lighthouse Collective when it comes to transformation. Many of us are finding ourselves in this energetic space of change and kind of knowing where we’re going without actually knowing where we’re going.

If you’re in this space, and even if you’re not, I recorded this week’s podcast episode with you in mind.

It reminded me of all the caterpillars we’re currently seeing here in Ottawa. What I recently learned about caterpillars is that they actually turn to mush in their transition. To unbecome a caterpillar and become a butterfly, they must disintegrate into mush for a period of time.

Are you in the mush phase? That middle phase where you’re no longer who you used to be and not yet your future version. Or your business is no longer what it used to be but not yet its potential.

Remember that when it starts to feel like there’s no progress happening in this phase, it’s because you’re in the mush phase of your evolution. Transformational change is happening, it’s just harder to see the progress in this phase.

Keep going though, you’re doing better than you realize, you’re making more progress than you’re aware of and the change you desire is just around the corner.

If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

On the episode, we discuss:

• Having patience and grace in business
• Unbecoming who you are
• Invisible progress and self-doubt
• Doing things that scare us

I believe in you - you are doing way better than you realize!
