Ep. 3 Reflecting on: Transitions

Ep. 3 Reflecting on: Transitions

Life is full of transitions. Some we choose, others take us by surprise. In this episode of The Mood Booster Podcast, we talk about what makes transitions so challenging from a psychological perspective. Whether it’s moving house, launching a creative project, or stepping into a new phase of life, our brains resist change, even when it’s for the better.

We discuss the mental load of transitions, the emotional complexity of leaving something behind, and how we work to optimise this process. Plus, we reference a fascinating study on how our brains process change and memory adaptation.

If you’re in the middle of a transition, big or small, this episode is for you. We hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please leave us a rating and review. It helps more people discover the podcast!
