The Gift of Change: When Disruption Becomes Your Direction

Change. Just the word can make our stomachs twist.
Because let’s be honest—it rarely feels like a gift. More often? It feels like chaos, confusion, or loss. But what if that disruption... is actually divine?

This week on The Free Advantage, I’m sharing one of the most powerful truths I’ve learned:
Change didn’t derail my life—it prepared me for it.
The moves, the losses, the detours I never saw coming… they became the training ground for the freedom I now help others step into.

When Life Keeps Moving

I didn’t grow up in one house, one neighborhood, or even one town. We moved so often it felt like we were part of some undercover mission. And at the time? It felt like anything but a blessing.

But looking back now, I see how change shaped me. It stretched me.
It forced me to grow, to adapt, and to lead—even when I didn’t feel ready.
Change became my normal. My anchor. And eventually, my gift.

Chaos or Calling?

Change usually doesn’t ask for permission. It doesn’t come with a “ready or not” warning. And when it shows up, we often try to resist it, control it, or long for what used to be.

But what if… change isn’t trying to break us?
What if it’s trying to build us?

✨ What if the disruption is actually your direction?
✨ What if the chaos is the very thing clarifying your next step?
✨ What if this shift is preparing you for more than you ever imagined?

I truly believe change is not a punishment—it’s preparation.
It’s not a detour—it’s divine redirection.

Change As a Mirror

Change has a way of showing us who we are—and who we’re becoming.
It reveals where we’re still rooted in fear, and where we’re ready to rise.
And every time we choose to move forward—even when it’s hard—we become more of who we were created to be.

So maybe the question isn’t “Why is this happening?”
Maybe it’s: “What is this making possible?”

Reflection 

Take a moment to reflect on a shift you’re currently experiencing.
Ask yourself:

✨ How is this stretching me?
✨ What part of me is resisting—and why?
✨ What is this season revealing about who I’m becoming?
✨ And what might it be preparing me for?

It doesn’t have to make perfect sense yet.
But meaning is forming—even if it’s still invisible.

 Key Takeaways

✨ Change doesn’t always show up wrapped like a gift—but that’s exactly what it is.
✨ Disruption isn’t always destruction. Sometimes, it’s the start of something sacred.
✨ You don’t need the whole picture. Just a willingness to move forward one step at a time.
✨ Every shift you’ve faced has shaped you—and prepared you to walk in freedom.

Final Thoughts

Change may not feel like a gift when it first arrives.
But I promise—if you’re willing to open it, there’s something beautiful waiting inside.

So here’s to the mess.
Here’s to the movement.
Here’s to the gift of change.

Let it be the thing that calls you forward—not the chaos that holds you back.
