Thriving Through Transitions: How to Communicate When Life Is Changing What if the hardest part of a life transition isn’t the change itself—but figuring out how to communicate while you’re going through it? Maybe you’re starting a new job, becoming a mom, getting married, moving, watching your children leave home, caring for aging parents, experiencing loss, navigating a relationship change, or simply realizing that the life you’re living no longer quite fits. Transitions can be exciting, but they can also leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what you need. And here’s the challenge: life doesn’t stop just because you’re going through a major transition. You still have to show up at work. Answer the email. Have the difficult conversation. Communicate with your spouse, children, friends, coworkers, and boss. So how do you communicate clearly when you’re still trying to figure things out yourself? In this midweek episode of Communication Skills for Working Women, Elizabeth and Rosemay introduce their upcoming FREE Thriving Through Transitions Workshop and share two practical communication skills you can start using right now. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: 1. Get Clear on What Is Changing When everything feels like it is changing at once, it can be difficult to know exactly what is causing your stress or uncertainty. The first step is to name what is actually changing. You don't need to have your entire future figured out before you communicate what you're experiencing. Try saying: “I’m in a season of change right now, and I’m still figuring out what I need.” That simple statement can create clarity—for you and for the people around you. You don't need a five-year plan to communicate where you are today. 2. Say What You Need Once you have some clarity about what is changing, the next step is learning to communicate your needs. This can be especially difficult for women who are accustomed to being the person who handles everything, takes care of everyone else, and keeps things moving. But people can't always know what you need. Instead of hoping someone notices, try: “What would help me right now is…” Or: “I don’t need you to fix this. I just need you to listen.” Or: “I’m not sure exactly what I need yet, but I know I need some support.” Asking for support isn't weakness. It's brave communication. If You're Going Through a Life Transition, Remember: Get clear on what is changing. Say what you need. You don't have to have all the answers before you communicate. Whether you're navigating a career transition, empty nest, motherhood, marriage, divorce, relationship changes, grief, loss, aging parents, a new job, relocation, changing family dynamics, or a shift in your identity, learning how to communicate during uncertainty can help you feel more grounded and connected. And you don't have to figure it out alone. 🎁 FREE WORKSHOP: Thriving Through Transitions Are you entering a new chapter of life and wondering how to navigate the changes while still showing up for everyone around you?

    We'd LOVE to hear from you.

    What do you do when life changes in an instant and you have no idea what comes next?

    In this powerful episode of Communication Skills for Working Women, Elizabeth and Rosemay welcome Karen Lynn Kaplan, a speaker, advisor, and learning and development professional with more than 30 years of experience equipping leaders to navigate complexity, change, and uncertainty.

    Karen shares her deeply personal experience of being in New York City on September 11, 2001, and the lessons she carried forward from that experience. Her story opens the door to a conversation about something many working women face every day: How do you move forward when you don't have all the answers?

    Karen also introduces her IMPACT framework, a practical roadmap designed to help leaders turn complexity, chaos, and change into clear action and meaningful results.

    In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
    • How to navigate uncertainty when circumstances are outside your control
    • How to recognize when your intuition is speaking versus when your thoughts are taking over
    • Why you don’t need to have everything figured out before taking the next step
    • How movement can create clarity when you feel stuck
    • A practical framework for turning complexity and change into action
    • How women can lead with greater clarity and confidence
    A Conversation About Communication, Connection & Thriving

    At Communication Skills for Working Women, we believe thriving isn't about having everything under control. It's about learning how to communicate clearly, connect authentically, and keep moving forward—even when life doesn't go according to plan.

    Karen's story offers a powerful reminder that sometimes the path becomes clearer after we take the next step.

    Meet Karen Lynn Kaplan

    Karen Lynn Kaplan is a speaker, advisor, and learning and development professional with more than 30 years of experience working with leaders across four continents and the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.

    Your Takeaway

    You don't always get clarity before you move forward.

    Sometimes, you have to take the next step—and discover the clarity along the way.

    What is one area of your life where you're waiting for certainty before you move?
