Description

<p>What if the hardest part of growth… isn’t starting something new?It’s letting go of what you’ve already built.In this episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with Christine Chang, entrepreneur, former photographer, author, and now filmmaker, to talk about what it really takes to pivot your life, your identity, and your career.Because starting over isn’t just a strategy shift.It’s an emotional one.Christine opens up about walking away from a successful career where she was known, respected, and financially thriving… to step into a completely new world where no one knew her.And how that decision forced her to confront fear, identity, relationships, and herself.🧠 In this episode, we explore:– why saying “no” to your current identity is so difficult– the fear of leaving something you’re already successful at– what it feels like to start over in a space where no one knows you– how to follow something that feels right… even when it’s uncertain– the difference between making money vs feeling aligned– why putting yourself in the right rooms changes everything– how creative work can unlock emotional healing– what it really takes to commit to a new pathIf you’ve been feeling:stuck between what you’ve built… and what you’re being called toward,or afraid to start over because you might “lose” what you already have…This episode will meet you exactly where you are.🔗 If this resonated, continue listening:– Episode 157: Signs of a Dysregulated Nervous System &amp; How to Regulate https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/157-signs-of-a-dysregulated-nervous-system-how-to-regulate/id1608226580?i=1000626930630– Episode 149: Emotional Hygiene &amp; Processing Emotionshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/149-emotional-hygiene-how-to-repair-be-with-your/id1608226580?i=1000623923484– Episode 103: Nervous System Regulation &amp; Self-Carehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/103-the-importance-of-self-care-and/id1608226580?i=1000594648647Episode with Raj - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtravqaYAyc&amp;pp=ygUfcmFqIHRoZSBhc3Ryb2xvZ2VyIGJyYXZlIHRhYmxlIA%3D%3DEpisode with Vasavi Kumar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6dKc6Nev4w&amp;pp=ygUeVmFzYXZpIEt1bWFy4oCZcyAgYnJhdmUgdGFibGUg🎧 Listen on:Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube👤 Connect with Christine Chang:📸 Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/cchangandco/)🎬 Film: Making Space: A Goodbye Love Story💬 Reflect on this:What are you holding onto…that you know you’ve outgrown?Drop it in the comments, I’d love to hear.his Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics🌸 This Women’s History Month, celebrate your circle with the gift of ritual — buy 2 Chai Tonics and get 1 free.
