At some point, most of us will face a moment where everything feels unclear—when the path forward seems foggy, and the familiar no longer fits. These moments often signal something deeper: a life transition. Understanding the signs can help you move through this phase with clarity. More importantly, the right kind of Life Transition Support can transform this period into a powerful opportunity for self-growth.
Let’s explore the common signs of being in a life transition—and how at Tammy Ketura, our Inquiry Based Stress Reduction can guide you through with compassion and insight.
1. You Feel Emotionally Stuck
One of the earliest signs of a life transition is the sense that your emotions are “stuck.” Whether it’s sadness, frustration, or numbness, your emotional world might feel like it’s looping without resolution. These internal shifts reflect an unmet need for change.
Our live online offerings guide participants through Inquiry Based Stress Reduction, a process that involves deep questioning of stressful thoughts. Through this method, you begin to release emotional stagnation and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
2. Relationships Are Shifting
Life transitions often ripple into your relationships. You may notice tension where there was once ease, or distance where there was once closeness. As you evolve, your relationships naturally evolve too.
Our relationship-specific courses—like “Embracing Love in Relationship” or “Separation and Divorce 101: Supporting myself to transition kindly”—offer safe, supportive spaces to navigate these emotional landscapes. These workshops use the tools of Inquiry Based Stress Reduction to untangle painful thoughts and help participants find clarity in how they relate to others.
3. You’re Questioning Everything
If you find yourself constantly asking, “What’s next?” or “Is this all there is?”, you’re likely in a life transition. The old structures no longer provide meaning, and something new is trying to emerge.
Our “Introductory seminar in “Loving What Is” with "The Work of Byron Katie”” helps you dive into these questions with compassion and curiosity. The course builds on the principles of Inquiry Based Stress Reduction, guiding you to recognize the limiting beliefs holding you back from your next phase.
4. You Crave Solitude or Silence
A sudden desire to pull back from the noise of daily life is a common sign you’re in transition. Silence becomes a space for transformation. Rather than seeing this as isolation, it’s often a sign of inner wisdom guiding you toward reflection.
The weekly event “Let’s do The Work at Lunch time” offers a gentle, communal space where you can engage in mindful inquiry. You can bring your own question or simply listen and learn. This space is perfect for those craving solitude and connection in balance.
5. You’re Making Big Decisions
Perhaps you’re deciding whether to end a relationship, change jobs, or move cities. Major decisions often accompany life transitions. But when you’re emotionally overwhelmed, decision-making can feel paralyzing.
This is where Life Transition Support becomes essential. We offer group courses and personal coaching to help you identify and dissolve the fear-based beliefs that cloud decision-making. With clear guidance, you’ll learn to trust your own voice and values again.
6. You’re Experiencing Unexplained Stress
Sometimes, even small daily tasks feel heavy. Your nervous system may be on alert more often. These stress symptoms are not signs of failure—they’re signals that something deeper is shifting.
In our workshop “Finally, the stress is doing some good!”, stress is reframed as a messenger rather than an enemy. This offering guides participants through Inquiry Based Stress Reduction practices that turn stress into insight.
7. You’re Ready, But Don’t Know How
You’ve felt the inner pull toward change, but you don’t know where to start. You’re ready for something new—but not sure how to bridge the gap between here and there.
That’s exactly what our broad array of Life Transition Support services is designed for. Whether you’re drawn to the annual “Clean up for the new year”, the thematic monthly workshops, or a personalized session, you’ll find tools that fit your stage of transition.
