Humans are undeniably creatures of habit. So when sudden, unexpected plot twists pull the metaphorical rug from beneath our feet, it can sometimes feel impossible to regain our footing. Therapist and podcaster Jana Firestone knows this better than most, after losing her mum suddenly at the age of 21 and spending many years providing professional counselling to her clients during their darkest days. But in bearing witness to outpourings of grief, loss and pain on a daily basis, Firestone also experienced and observed remarkable resilience, transformation and hope.

Therapist Jana Firestone breaks down the factors that often make us so reluctant to pursue new goals – from core beliefs and anxiety to ego and imposter syndrome – and offers concrete strategies to help you adapt and thrive. With a blend of professional advice, personal experience and real-life stories, Embracing Change is a key to unlocking your potential.
