Navigate Change with Confidence and Peace

Practical Skills to Guide
and Ground You

ABOUT THE BOOK

If it seems like the world is in constant flux, that’s because it is. Research shows that we’re likely either going into, in the middle of, or coming out of some sort of big transition. Our work, families, friendships, and society are constantly changing, leaving us disoriented and discouraged. And while lots of people offer “tips and tricks” or “life hacks” to help us cope, the real secret to feeling like we’re standing on solid ground is deeper—and we can’t do it alone.

In Life in Flux, leadership, career, and vocation experts Michaela O’Donnell and Lisa Pratt Slayton teach the practical skills needed to navigate constant change. They show you how to

  • name what you’re longing for in the midst of change 

  • do the inner work of waking up and letting go

  • embrace the unknown with confidence

  • listen to God’s guiding voice 

  • get to know yourself, really

  • find and keep friends for the journey

  • stay attuned to your rhythms and values moving forward

  • learn to live within boundaries and limits. 

When you feel truly at home in your world and with yourself, you can do hard things with great courage. Life in Flux can get you there.
