Moving Through Transition: Helping Your Kids—and Yourself—Through Life’s Big Changes

In this heartfelt episode of Beyond the Beautiful Chaos, Alisha opens up about her personal journey through six moves in the past decade—three of them since becoming a mom. With warmth, honesty, and wisdom, she explores how transition affects the whole family and offers supportive tools for navigating big life changes with intention and grace.

As someone who has moved across the country multiple times, including during a challenging twin pregnancy, Alisha shares what she’s learned about building resilience—not just in herself, but in her children. From honoring routines and creating meaningful rituals to validating emotions and inviting kids into the process, she offers practical, soul-centered advice for any parent in the midst of change.

Alisha also speaks directly to the emotional load mothers carry during transitions and encourages listeners to lower expectations, lean into community, and embrace the unknown with open hands. Through storytelling and reflection, she reminds us that while change is never easy, it can be a powerful catalyst for growth, connection, and deepening love.

Whether you’re preparing for a move, grieving a recent one, or simply navigating the ever-changing terrain of motherhood, this episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember: you are not alone. You can do hard things. And sometimes, the chaos clears the way for something even more beautiful to unfold.
