Change Launches Your Next Chapter | Susan Bradley, CFP®, CeFT® | TEDxWilmingtonWomen

Change happens quickly, transitions take years, and the resulting transformation lasts a lifetime. While managing money is one thing, managing major life change is entirely different.

I know it is late, but thank you for this talk. I am going though a divorce from a marriage that is going on 24 years in 3 months and the struggle over the past few months has been my messy cocoon. I took notes, because sometimes my brain is scrambled. I am taking all this "up here" and putting it "down here" to get the essentials done. No matter what life event a person is going though, I hope they take the time to listen to this talk. It truly is super helpful.

Powerful. Just got down to seeing the whole talk at one go. So very glad to be the first Certified Financial Transitionist from India. The journey has been thrilling, filled with change, and am eagerly waiting for the next chapter.

Great presentation for college students. They are in a unique phase where they can learn this framework while pretty much fully focused on big advancement-based change...

Great talk about how transitions impact us all (see audience answers to what they have experienced) and understanding the how, what, when and why will ease the process for ourselves and those around us.
