A life transition is more than a change in circumstances. It is a period when the way you have been living, working, or seeing yourself no longer quite fits — while the new configuration has not yet taken shape. It is accompanied by a gradual reorganisation of how you understand your work, your priorities, your relationships, and yourself. This is why a transition can continue long after the circumstances have changed, and why even a well-chosen move can leave you feeling unexpectedly unmoored.
