Are you in transition?

In this episode of Breen Time, Sabrina explores how we can navigate life’s transitions more successfully. Whether it’s a change you’ve chosen or one that’s been thrust upon you, transitions can be challenging - but also an opportunity for growth.

Through a practical exercise, you’ll learn how to preserve your energy for the process, understand your fears, clarify your core beliefs, and remind yourself of the positives that change can bring. You’ll also discover why the “middle” of a transition is often the hardest part, and what you can put in place to carry you through it.

Breen Time is a weekly podcast from Brum Radio, hosted by life coach and management consultant Sabrina Brown. Drawing on over 20 years’ experience in personal development and change management, Sabrina offers soulful insights, smart strategies, and uplifting conversations designed to help you reflect, grow, and thrive. New episodes every Monday.

• Admit or settle the fact that transitions are hard
• Don’t fight the process — preserve your energy for the transition itself
• Pause and do a stock-take of your transition
• Identify the biggest tasks you’ll need to undertake
• Write down what you’re most afraid of during this transition
• Assess your core beliefs and how they contribute positively/negatively
• Write down all the positives about the transition and revisit them regularly
• Ask: What’s the scale of this transition? Which areas of your life will it impact?
• Get support — you’ll need it for the rollercoaster ride
• Have faith for the middle! The beginning and ending are often easier, the middle is where support matters most

Are you letting your most valuable asset slip away?

In this episode of Breen Time, Sabrina invites you to see time for what it really is — a precious, ever-depreciating asset. Through a simple but revealing exercise, you’ll learn how to balance what you love and what you don’t, uncover the hidden distractions stealing your hours, and right-size your commitments so your time works for you — not the other way around.

Episode exercise – quick guide:

2. Assess the balance — notice what’s taking up most of your time.
3. Imagine your ideal — decide what you’d like more time for.
4. Identify your distractions — be honest about the time-wasters.
5. Take action — reclaim that time for what matters most.

By the end, you’ll have a clear picture of where your life is in or out of balance, what you truly want to prioritise, and which distractions you can cut back on to make it happen.
