Lost in Transition? Madjeen Lorthe on Navigating Change Without Losing Yourself
Description
Change is inevitable, but transitions? Those are messy. And often, we’re so focused on the external steps—updating résumés, moving cities, starting over—that we forget about the internal journey happening beneath the surface.
Enter Madjeen Lorthe, a certified life and career transition coach with over two decades of experience in nonprofit leadership and mental health counseling. Madjeen helps women of color navigate life’s biggest shifts—career changes, leadership transitions, personal reinventions—with clarity, confidence, and intention.
In this episode, she shares her own deeply personal journey from nonprofit leadership to coaching, the unexpected burnout that forced her to pause, and the powerful realizations that helped her rebuild her path on her own terms.
Key Takeaways:

- Why women struggle to prioritize themselves—and how to break the cycle
If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by what’s next, this episode will give you the perspective—and the tools—to navigate your transition well.
