When Change Knocks, Open the Door

How to Move Forward with Intention

Change shows up in all kinds of ways—new schools, new jobs, a diagnosis, a move. Sometimes we welcome it. Other times, it barges in without knocking.

Either way, there’s no going back—just forward, one step at a time.

So what helps?

• Name what’s changing—and what’s still solid. It brings steadiness.

• Ask yourself, “What do I need to feel grounded right now?” That might be support, space, or simply a clear look at your finances.

• Let your money plan reflect the new season. Adjust goals. Pause extras. Make space for what matters most now.

There’s no shame in reworking your plan.
You’re not “starting over”—you’re responding to life with courage and care.

And that, friend, is what real planning looks like.
