  • This is in conversation from Apple News.

  • I'm Shemitah Basu.

  • Today we kick off our Think Again series, all about life's 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.
