About this episode

Mabel Ninan interviews Carolyn Grant about her immigrant journey and the challenges and blessings of navigating transitions with faith.

Our guest, writer and transition coach, Carolyn Grant, is no stranger to change. Born and raised in South Africa, she moved to the U.K. and then to the U.S. In this episode, she and I discuss both the challenges and blessings we experience as immigrants. Carolyn reflects on how her immigrant journey strengthened her faith in God and what inspired her to become a transition coach. She shares tips on navigating seasons of change with purpose and hope. Takeaways Transition is ongoing for many immigrants, who’re constantly learning new things and living in between cultures. God is the same, yesterday, today, and forevermore. He can be our anchor during times of transition. Our identity and sense of belonging are rooted in Christ. Remembering that we are children of God who belong to Him can help us cope with difficult changes. Join our online community to share your thoughts on this episode.
