Episode 16 -Starting over with a Mindset Metamorphosis w/special guest DK Kang
What do you do when it seems everything in your life is unraveling? We've all had those "Now what?" moments in life. Author DK Kang experienced this with his wife's health crisis and the loss of his job at the same time. He has taken the tools he used to get through this difficult time and written a wonderful book to encourage anyone else who finds themselves needing a fresh start.

Enneagram Prompts
A core Enneagram principle is integration of head, heart, and body. This in many ways parallels what we have heard from DK today.
1. Thinking (Intellectual Exploration)
Let’s notice our thoughts as we face setbacks.
Ask: “What story are we telling ourselves about this challenge or transition? Are our perspectives limited, or can we open ourselves to new possibilities?”
2. Feeling (Emotional Connection)
Let’s pause together and check in with our emotions.
Ask: “What emotions are we experiencing right now? How might grief, hope, or motivation be showing up for us—maybe even at the same time?”
3. Doing (Action & Application)
Let’s consciously reframe our responses with more nuance.
Ask: “What action could embody both self-compassion and courage as we begin again? How can we use our strengths, values, faith, or wellness practices to move forward together?”
