The Only Constant is You: Navigating Life's Changes with Najwa Zebian

In our lives, we are often confronted with moments of profound change - whether it's the result of circumstances beyond our control, or a deliberate choice to step into something new. During these pivotal transitions, it can be tempting to focus on pleasing others or trying to meet the expectations of our family, friends, and community. However, truly transformative growth requires the courage to choose ourselves and to trust our inner wisdom.

Author and activist, Najwa Zebian, offers a powerful example of what it looks like to reclaim one's autonomy in the face of a lifetime of feeling out of place and unworthy. Her journey of self-discovery provides a roadmap for navigating change with conviction, self-compassion, and a commitment to living one's truth.

Jen and Najwa explore:
The profound impact of emotional neglect and feeling out of place can deeply shape one's self-worth and choices later in life.

Connecting with the power of language and self-expression can be a vital lifeline and pathway to healing.

Making bold choices for oneself can be a necessary and courageous act of self-preservation.

Allowing one's "world to revolve around you" and trusting your own inner wisdom is essential for navigating life's changes and uncertainties with conviction and self-compassion.
