The five stages

1. 01

   Exit

   The moment the old life ends—chosen or not.

2. 02

   Gap

   The disorienting in-between, where identity loosens.

3. 03

   Confrontation

   Facing what the transition reveals about you.

4. 04

   Reinvention

   Building new habits, roles, and a sense of self.

5. 05

   Return with Gifts

   Re-entering the world stronger, and helping others do the same.
