Life Transitions with Sue West

Insightful, wise, inspiring, filled with hope, patient, focused and productive is how her clients describe Sue. In less than two years, Sue changed almost every aspect of her life – lots of life change, many lessons learned. Most of her clients are dealing with life changes themselves, people in their late 40’s to early 60’s. As a Certified Professional Organizer® & Certified Organizer Coach® Sue assists people through and afterwards, as they reorganize their time and their surroundings to move onto a new chapter. Sue’s specialties are big life changes, people who struggle with chronic disorganization, and adults with AD/HD.

Best Life Transition:

I’d have to say the best was into self-employment. Not that I EVER thought I’d be a business owner! I hadn’t set my sets that high. This transition was the one which has taught me so much about myself; almost every day, I learn something I didn’t know about myself!

Most Challenging Life Transition:

My divorce and what led up to it. Now, with perspective and advice from experts, years later, I know I did the best I knew how at the time. But it wouldn’t be my best today. Challenging in all the practical and emotional you’d expect at the time – but also challenging for the next years, as I explored what had happened, how it happened, what part I had in it, and how I had changed because of it.

Best Advice You Received During a Life Transition:

Take your time and figure it slowly, organically. You don’t need to know your life’s vision all at once, right away. Slow down and enjoy the process.

Most Important Lesson Learned from a Life Transition:

The life event or change happens at a point in time. The transition and the process of moving on, away from the change, and into something new – that takes work. And it will not happen quickly nor at a pace I choose. Work at it, one piece at a time.

Best Way to Think about Life Transitions:

Break up time into chapters and you can move ahead more easily and happily. There’s the “getting through it” part, there’s the “just afterwards,” and there’s the “now, what” stage – turning that last corner, coming out of a fog. But really – ultimately, it will be an adventure to a new chapter.

What Makes Life Transitions Easier for You:

Slowing down and realizing they take longer than I expect. Learning to live through it instead of rushing through out; believing that this happens for a reason, even if I may not know it for years to come. And – asking for what I need in support – very specifically.
