Are you facing the end of a relationship, an unexpected diagnosis, the loss of a job, or some other twist of fate?

Do you feel as if you’re free-falling into the unknown?

If so - this Sunday’s Candlelight Chat is for you.

We’re very honored to host special guest Dr. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist; host of the critically acclaimed podcast, A Slight Change of Plans; and author of the new book — The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans, an excerpt of which we published in The Quiet Life last month.

Here are just a few of the topics we’ll discuss with Dr. Shankar:

• The moment life splits into “before” and “after” — and how to rebuild meaning on the other side.

• What research shows about the people who grow stronger after disruption — and what they do differently.

• How to support someone you love who is going through radical change (without saying the wrong thing).

• How to recognize when you’re clinging to a past version of yourself — and how to let go with dignity.

• And more.

As usual, we’ll also invite you to ask your questions of Dr. Shankar. You’ll be able to talk to her either via the written chat, or by “raising your hand” and coming online to chat with her.

If you’re a paid or scholarship subscriber, you’ll receive log-in instructions this Saturday, for the Sunday afternoon Zoom (Eastern time).

Please do join us!
