Video: The Power of Upthinking When Facing Imminent Change

As we move through mid-fall, many of us feel the winds of change—whether it’s a shift in career, a role we’ve outgrown, or an uncertain future. In this video message, Karen explores how our natural tendency to expect the worst during times of transition can lead to unnecessary stress and anxiety. Instead of bracing for the worst, she introduces a powerful mindset shift: upthinking. This practice encourages us to give equal weight to the positive possibilities that change might bring—not just the negative ones. When we allow room for hope, we reduce fear and increase resilience. Watch now to learn how to meet change with clarity, calm, and courage.

Note: These videos were originally started during COVID and shared exclusively with the Cultivating Careers community—past and present clients—as a way to share timely insights and stay connected during times of uncertainty and change. Now, we’re sharing them more broadly, as many of the topics remain just as relevant today.
