New Year, Life Shift: Thriving Through Transitions Without Losing Yourself

Life changed. You didn’t get a map.

Whether the shift came from divorce, career change, relocation, burnout, illness, loss, or a quiet internal reckoning, there’s a moment when you realize your life no longer looks the way it used to-and you don’t yet know what comes next.

New Year, Life Shift: Thriving Through Transitions Without Losing Yourself is for that moment.

This is not a book about reinventing yourself overnight, finding your passion in five steps, or turning pain into positivity. It’s a practical, compassionate guide for navigating the in-between-the space between who you were and who you’re becoming-without abandoning yourself along the way.

Written by psychologist and medical rehabilitation specialist Kinneret Poplawski, this book reframes transition as a natural human passage rather than a personal failure. It helps you understand why you feel disoriented, exhausted, or emotionally conflicted-and what to do when clarity hasn’t arrived yet.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand the difference between being lost and being in transition
• Process grief, even when the change was chosen or ＂supposed to be good＂
• Navigate identity shifts when familiar roles fall away
• Find stability through small, realistic daily practices
• Make decisions without forcing certainty
• Rebuild your life without erasing who you are

Blending psychological insight, real-life examples, and practical exercises, New Year, Life Shift offers tools you can use immediately-even on days when energy is low and everything feels unclear.

This book is for you if:

• You feel ungrounded, uncertain, or ＂not like yourself＂ anymore
• You’re tired of being told to move on, stay positive, or have a plan
• You want support that is honest, steady, and human-not motivational fluff
• You’re ready to move forward, even if you don’t yet know where you’re going

You don’t need to have it all figured out to take the next step.

You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re in transition.

And this book will help you move through it-without losing yourself.
