Mel Robbins: 分享了自己女儿大学毕业面临人生转变的焦虑，以及她自身在事业和生活中的转变经历，并表达了对转变过程中不适感的理解和接纳。 Dr. Luana Marques: 从心理学角度分析了转变的本质和挑战，指出人们在转变中往往会抓着已知的确定性不放，同时又想抓住新的梦想生活，这会导致身心俱疲。她提出，转变过程中必然伴随着不适感，逃避这种不适感只会加剧痛苦。她鼓励人们勇敢地‘放手’，开始新的旅程，并分享了自己在职业转变中的经验和感悟，以及如何通过重新审视价值观来应对转变。她还强调了接纳情绪的重要性，指出只有允许自己感受负面情绪，才能真正走过转变。 Dr. Luana Marques: 提出了一个三步法来应对转变：1. 改变视角，像对待最好的朋友一样对待自己；2. 迎难而上，直面不适感；3. 将行动与价值观结合，并以自身经历为例，说明如何通过设定明确的目标，将日常行动与价值观相结合，循序渐进地朝着目标前进。她还分享了如何发现自身价值观的方法：直面痛苦，反思痛苦背后的原因，找到被忽视的价值观。
