What's Change Got to Do with It? Rev Dr Pjae & Rev Dr Tynya ~ Thought Leader Thursday Oct 2025

What's Change Got to Do with It?
The wonderful Rev. Tynya Beverly joins Rev. Dr. Pjae Stanley to talk about Dr. William Bridges' transformative work on personal transitions, focusing on how his insights can be framed within the New Thought perspective. Dr. Bridges' model identifies three key stages of transition: Ending, The Neutral Zone, and The New Beginning. We will delve into how these stages can be understood and navigated through the principles of New Thought, which emphasize the power of positive thinking, the presence of divine intelligence within each individual, and the ability to shape one's reality.

By integrating Dr. Bridges' practical approach to managing life's changes with the empowering philosophy of New Thought, we aim to provide a holistic framework for personal growth and transformation. This presentation will offer practical strategies, inspirational insights, and a deeper understanding of how to embrace and thrive through life's inevitable transitions.
