There are 3 main reasons we go through a catalytic transition: Shock, Opportunity, and Growth.

Jana has experienced all three of these reasons at very profound levels.

At age 15…

Jana was paralyzed in an automobile accident. This was a “shock” transition that completely transformed her reality.

Her second transition was “Opportunity”, retiring from competitive wheelchair sports at the age of 29. She won the gold medal and was ready to move on to a different phase of her life which included the stability of a relationship and a career; but it was still a complete transformation and rebirth of identity.

The third transition has been the most challenging, because it was born from within. She truly felt a human metamorphosis, or a “Growth” of a new version of herself. Jana quit her job because she felt an inner voice telling her “there was something bigger and better.” This was not an easy move, but one she is grateful for.
