Sometimes the biggest transformation begins with a simple moment of awareness:
“Something needs to change.”
In this episode of From Pissed Off to Poised, I revisit my conversation with Dr. Sonja Grigg as she shares her journey from feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and stuck to creating more peace, intention, and fulfillment in her life. https://thoughtworkmd.com/4-im-not-angry-youre-angry-with-dr-sonja-grigg/
Like so many high-achieving women, Sonja was carrying a lot.
The responsibilities of being a physician.
The demands of motherhood.
The pressure to keep everything together.
But beneath the surface, there were emotions and patterns that needed to be acknowledged—not ignored.
Through coaching, Sonja learned how to develop greater self-awareness, process difficult emotions, and recognize the power she had to create meaningful change in her own life.
One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is the reminder that transformation doesn’t come from becoming a different person.
It comes from understanding yourself more deeply.
When we are willing to look at our thoughts, our emotions, and the stories we carry, we create the opportunity to respond differently and live more intentionally.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or like you’re ready for something to shift, this episode is a beautiful reminder that change begins with awareness.
And if you’re not quite ready for one-on-one coaching but want to begin exploring your relationship with your emotions—especially anger—I created my self-paced course, From Reaction to Response: Transforming Your Anger. https://thoughtworkmd.com/programs/transforming-your-anger-course/
It’s designed to help you understand your anger, recognize your triggers, and develop tools to respond with more calm and intention.
You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to start making a change. 🦋
