Transition Coach Theresa Froehlich
Life is a journey of perpetual transitions and transformations. The life transitions that impact your life now may be a change in relationships (such as divorce or becoming empty nest parents), career, passions, or life direction. Navigating the transitional phase can be challenging because you don't see clearly like you used to. You stand at the crossroads and you're not sure where to turn. In the midst of these transitions, you'll feel confusion and many emotions.
- Becoming an empty nest mom is one of the challenging life transitions few people talk about. With your kids out of the house, you have lost your identity, purpose and meaning. How do you let go of the old and transition to the new? How do you craft a new vision for your own life and transition to a fulfilling life apart from your adult children? Then there are so many questions moms ask about their relationship with their adult children. Should I tell my child I feel forgotten? How often should I contact him? How do I stay connected without making my adult children feel overpowered?
- Parents dealing with problem adult children are struggling. These adult children may act out in risky and self-destructive behaviors such as addictions and failing in college. You may have an adult child who isn't "in trouble" but still lives at home and depends on you to pay all her bills. You may feel like you're treading water or even drowning in the difficult transition of launching young and older adult children. Dealing with problem adult children is a very tough transition and a journey not to be made alone. If you are one of these parents, I know your struggles because I've been there. In fact, I have just written a book to show parents how to regain sanity, power and freedom when they are stuck with problem adult children.
- Having questions about your life is normal. When you ask these questions, you are anticipating a transition. Do you wonder what is your life purpose, direction, and calling? Do you feel like you're a square peg in a round hole? Do you wake up Monday morning dreading to go to work? Do you feel a nagging sense of dissatisfaction with your life in general? Do you sense a need to reinvent yourself? Do you want to discover transition solutions for moving forward in life?
- Asian American professionals have lots of questions about navigating multicultural transitions in a diverse workplace. How should I carry myself so my leadership abilities will be noticed? How do I make the bicultural transitions in the workplace? What about simple yet significant questions like: how do I shake hands with Westerners so I will be perceived as a strong leader? Mastering these multicultural transitions is critical for your career development.
- You have an intercultural marriage.You face crosscultural transitions because you're married to someone from a different culture. How do you deal with in-laws who don't speak English? What if your 35-year-old Asian wife is still doing what her mother tells her? What is the appropriate parenting style for your children?
- Christ-followers want to discover God’s call on their lives. As you seek a deeper discipleship, you have questions about how to do this. How do I hear God's voice? What spiritual habits do I need to develop to transition to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ? What might be some past baggage that is keeping me from following Christ closely?
