Episode 08: Life's Transitions

There are times in life when everything feels like it’s falling apart—relationships end, business partnerships dissolve, opportunities fade. It’s easy to ask, “Why is this happening to me?” But the truth is, what’s being eliminated is never punishment—it’s divine protection.

In this episode of Collective Guidance, I share a perspective that has carried me through countless transitions: the universe is always conspiring for your highest good. When something or someone leaves, it’s often clearing space for something better aligned with who you are becoming.

I share how I learned this lesson through personal experiences and a powerful moment with my dad at the breakfast table when I was just 20. His advice still rings true today: “You are not equipped to think about what others do. You are only equipped to think about how you act and what you will do next.”

If your mind is racing and your heart feels heavy, try this: stand in front of a mirror, look into your own eyes, and say your name out loud. Remind yourself that everything is happening for you, not to you. Breathe. Come back to love.

Every ending holds a beginning, and you have everything you need within you to move forward in grace.

You can message me on Instagram or TikTok at @collectiveguidance, or visit collectiveguidance.com to share your reflections and sign up for updates.

We have so much to be grateful for in this human experience — and today, I’m deeply grateful for you.

With love, compassion, and immense gratitude, Charla
