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
