Becoming: Self-Leadership for Women in Transition

Becoming: Self-Leadership for Women in Transition

A Centerline Blog Series

Transitions are woven into every woman’s life. Some are expected, others come out of nowhere—but all of them change us. A new career, a cross-country move, an emptying nest, or even a quiet shift in identity can leave us feeling unsteady, questioning, and searching for what’s next.

Becoming is my series on navigating these seasons with strength. It’s about learning to lead yourself first—finding clarity in the midst of uncertainty, practicing resilience when things feel shaky, and stepping into your next chapter with intention.

Why It Matters

For years, I’ve watched (and lived) the truth that transitions can either leave us stuck or help us grow. What makes the difference isn’t how big the change is—it’s how we show up to it.

Self-leadership means:

  • Clarifying your values and aligning your actions.

  • Creating rhythms and practices that give you energy and focus.

  • Choosing courage, even when the path isn’t clear.

  • Giving yourself grace while you grow into who you’re becoming.

This series shares reflections, stories, and tools that have helped me and other women navigate seasons of change with more confidence and purpose.

Becoming is not about rushing through a transition or pretending it’s easy. It’s about showing up with courage, clarity, and grace—allowing the process itself to shape you into who you’re meant to be.

Wherever you are in your own season of becoming, I hope this series reminds you that you are not alone—and that you are fully capable of leading yourself into what’s next.
