When Life Changes, Who Are You? Finding Identity, Meaning, and Momentum Again with George Jerjian
What if the biggest challenge in life isn’t deciding what to do next… but who you are as you move into the next chapter?
In this episode of Life in Motion, George Jerjian shares how a life-altering health scare forced him to confront identity, purpose, and time in a whole new way. That journey led him to develop the D.A.R.E. Method — a framework originally designed to help people redefine retirement, but powerful for anyone navigating transition, burnout, or the feeling of “what now?”
From letting go of old expectations to finding courage in uncertainty, George explores how mindset shifts, curiosity, and intentional living can help you build a life that feels fulfilling, whether you’re 25, 45, or 75. This is a conversation about purpose, identity, and giving yourself permission to keep evolving.
