When something you’ve pictured for years hasn’t happened yet - marriage, a career, a version of life you thought was “supposed” to be yours - it can feel like the door slammed shut.
But here’s the truth: Life doesn’t end when a door closes. It changes.
Cognitive scientist and expert on change, Dr. Maya Shankar, calls these lives you imagine for yourself “Possible Selves.”
Dr. Shankar wants you to start thinking about more promising, positive, Possible Selves than you’ve ever imagined.
In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Maya Shankar for a powerful conversation about why change feels so hard, and more importantly, how to move on to become an even stronger, wiser version of yourself.
By the end, you will get the mental reset and the tools you need to restart your life, move forward, and step into who you’re meant to be.
