Stepping Beyond the Familiar: How Embracing Change Led to True Love

Love finds you when you open yourself up to new possibilities

Life often feels perfectly aligned—our careers are flourishing, our health is steady, and our relationships are fulfilling. But what happens when, despite all of this, something still feels off? When we realize that the life we've settled into isn’t the one that will lead us to our dreams?

This is exactly what Dr. Priyanka Wali experienced. On the outside, everything seemed perfect—career, health, family, and friends. Yet, her love life wasn’t aligning. Despite years of trying, she felt something was missing.

Her story shows that sometimes, all it takes is a shift in perspective to open the door to the life—and love—we’ve been searching for.

Read her story in her own words:

"Janet Rae Orth is a breath of fresh air for anyone going through a difficult life situation and needing help with a new perspective! My story—I was single in my 30s, doing the dating game in the Bay Area—online dating, speed dating, blind dates. I tried everything, yet after years of 'putting myself out there,' I still came up empty-handed. Everything else in my life—career, health, friendships—was great, but my romantic life felt stuck. When I finally came to Janet, I shared that my romantic life was at a standstill despite everything else going well."

"Janet quickly assessed my energy and saw something I had never considered before: it wasn’t me—it was the environment. Janet suggested I expand my search for love beyond the Bay Area, maybe even to other cities. At first, I was hesitant. But after a shift in mindset, I opened up to new possibilities. Soon enough, I met my life partner—someone based in Las Vegas, a place I had never thought to look. It was a complete game changer, and now my husband and I are married and incredibly grateful to have found each other. Janet's insight truly opened my eyes and changed my life."

This is the story of one of my clients who took a leap, embraced change, and as a result, transformed her life. If you’ve ever felt stuck or wondered if something more is waiting for you, this story will inspire you to see how a simple shift in perspective can open the door to the life you desire.

Client's Story: From Stagnation to Transformation

Meet Dr. Priyanka Wali, a Holistic Internal Medicine Physician, who came to me feeling frustrated and uncertain about her love life. She shared:

“I had tried everything—online dating, speed dating, and blind dates—but after years of putting myself out there, I still came up empty-handed. Despite everything going well in my career, health, and friendships, my romantic life was stuck. When I finally came to Janet, I told her that everything else in my life was great, but my love life seemed to be at a standstill.”

Despite achieving tremendous success in her career, health, and social life, Priyanka realized her romantic life wasn’t where she wanted it to be. She came to me feeling frustrated and unsure of what she was doing wrong, despite her best efforts.

After assessing her energy, I recognized something Priyanka hadn’t considered: it wasn’t her—it was the environment. “You’re in the wrong place,” I told her. “Your energy and the energy of your surroundings aren’t aligned with what you’re seeking. You won’t find the person you need in the bay area. You need to widen your search, perhaps even to other cities.”

The Change That Happened: A New Beginning

At first, Priyanka was hesitant. She was living in a dynamic area with lots of educated, single people her age. It felt like a big leap. But after shifting her mindset, Priyanka opened herself up to new possibilities. Soon, she met her life partner—a person based in Las Vegas, a place she hadn’t thought to look. The universe had aligned in the most unexpected way.

Priyanka’s change wasn’t just physical—it was about a shift in mindset. By expanding her search beyond familiar surroundings, she unlocked a new chapter of her life. Today, she’s blissfully married, and living the life she always dreamed of.

Lesson Learned: Aligning with Your Desires Through Change

Pryanka’s journey shows that the changes we resist the most are often the very ones that bring us closer to what we truly desire. Growth doesn't happen in our comfort zone. Sometimes, we must take a leap of faith—whether it's moving to a new city, embracing a new approach to dating, or shifting how we approach life’s challenges. These changes propel us toward the life we've been waiting for.

The lesson here is simple yet profound: to manifest the life we desire—whether it’s love, career success, or personal growth—we must embrace necessary changes, even when they feel uncertain. By stepping beyond the familiar, we open ourselves up to the endless possibilities that await.

Are you feeling stuck in an area of your life where you’ve been working hard, but it’s just not moving forward? It might be time to step beyond your comfort zone and explore the possibilities that lie just beyond the familiar.

Conclusion: The Power of Change and Reflection

As you reflect on your own life, ask yourself this: Is there an area where you’re feeling stuck, but also resistant to change? It might be time to step beyond your comfort zone and explore the possibilities that lie just beyond the familiar. Change isn’t always easy, but it’s often the catalyst we need to unlock the life we’ve been yearning for. Sometimes, all it takes is a shift in perspective—a new place, a new mindset, or a different approach—to create the life and love we’ve always dreamed of.
