FROM THE

“ When we ’ re brave enough to tend to our hearts : Our messy emotions can teach us how to be free — not free from pain , but free from the fear of pain and the barrier it creates to fully living .” KRIS CARR

Welcome to the December 2023 / January 2024 “ Navigating Transitions ” issue of Aspire Magazine

Hello beautiful soul ,

On the journey called life navigating life shifts , or transitions , is to be expected . It ’ s the one constant of life .

Whether the transition is related to a sudden change in our life experience , a loss of a loved one , a loss of identity or other life altering experience , the transition brings up lots of emotions such as anxiety , fear , and grief .

What we do with those emotions is the key to our emotional and spiritual health .

As Kris Carr , New York Times Bestselling Author , Wellness Leader , Cancer Thriver , and author of I ’ m Not a Mourning Person : Braving Loss , Grief , and the Big Messy Emotions That Happen When Life Falls Apart , shares in her cover feature , 4 Ways to Tap into Your Emotional Bravery in Times of Loss & Transition :

“ Anxiety . Fear . Grief . If you ’ re anything like me , you may simply want to weed whack the crap out of these strong emotions and just be done with them . In reality , tending to them lovingly , with gentle pruning and better habits , is a far more productive and sustainable path , helping you rewire your brain , set yourself free from your unconscious ( or semiconscious ) addiction to fear and worry , and enjoy a bigger , fuller life .”
