Changing the unchangeable | What to do when you feel backed against a wall

<p>In this episode, Jenni shares a raw, personal look at how she and her husband confronted a financial and lifestyle setup that no longer served their family, walking through the exact framework she used to move from feeling stuck to actively redesigning her life. She breaks down a six-step process — from acknowledging what isn't working to naming your current season, questioning "unchangeable" conditions, mapping possible paths, grieving the losses, and finally stepping through the door — using her family's real decision to pull their kids from preschool as the throughline. It's an honest, vulnerable episode about choosing creation over pressure, honoring shifting desires, and having the courage to build a life that actually feels good.<br /><br /><b>The 6 step framework:</b></p><ul><li>Notice what's not working</li><li>Evaluate the season you're in</li><li>Question whether "unchangeable" conditions are actually changeable</li><li>Paint a few possible paths and walk through them hypothetically</li><li>Grieve and feel</li><li>Step through the door with courage</li></ul><p></p><p><b>Resources:</b></p><ul><li>Name/ define your own season via <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://jennigritters.substack.com/p/i-thought-i-was-in-a-downshift-season" target="_blank">this Substack post</a> from Jenni</li><li>Book a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.jennigritters.com/seersession" target="_blank">1-1 session with Jenni</a> in August</li><li>Register for the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-council" target="_blank">Water Council</a> (doors close July 24th)</li></ul>
