In this episode of Apple News In Conversation, host Shumita Basu talks to Hidden Brain’s Shankar Vedantam about why pivot points can feel so challenging and how to embrace them as opportunities, rather than obstacles.

  • Hey there.

  • This week we're bringing you a special episode from our archives.

  • It's from our annual Think Again series where we talked about big life transitions, what makes them so challenging, and how to get better at taking them on.

  • Enjoy.

  • This is in Conversation from Apple News.

  • I'm Shemitah Basu.

  • Today we kick off our Think Again series all about light big transitions.

  • Over the past few years, I've gone through a lot of transitions.

  • Some of the major ones I got married, I had really close loved ones die.

  • I started a new job, this one remotely and in a pandemic I moved a few times.

  • And I've got some big transitions coming up too.

  • I'm pregnant and excited and suddenly feeling this rush of momentum into the next chapter of my life.

  • The thing about moments of transition is they can feel challenging, destabilizing, even scary.

  • But they can also be really clarifying.

  • They're a chance to take stock of where you are, what matters to you, and who you want to be moving forward.

  • That's why this year for our Think Again series, which is all about how to rethink your deeply held notions and rewire your brain, we're focusing on the big pivot points in life, starting with figuring out your purpose as a young adult with psychotherapist Satya Doyle Byock.

  • The tricky thing about being in quarter life is we are doing this dance all the time to both find ourselves and to survive day by day.

  • All the changes that come with parenthood with journalist Jessica Gross.

  • I never want to look at these massive changes as all bad or all good.
