How to make a huge life change when it feels too daunting to make the first move
In 2012, Cassidy Krug competed in her first and last Olympics. Raised by two diving coaches, Krug was in diapers when she started dreaming of competing. At 27 years old, she had a shot at the Olympic bronze medal but landed in seventh place instead. Krug decided to retire, something she'd already been considering for three years. But how do you move forward in life when diving is the only thing you've ever known? Krug tried to replace her passion for diving with a corporate career. But after seven years in advertising and brand strategy, she felt lost and without the purpose and motivation she'd once felt for her sport. Fascinated by the endless options of what to do next, Krug wrote 'Resurface: A Guide to Navigating Life's Biggest Transitions.' The Times spoke with Krug about why we're so resistant to uncertainty and what tools we can use to get comfortable with change. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity. Why do you think transitions are an important part of life? Transitions are an important part of life because they're an inevitable part of life. An author named Bruce Feiler estimates that we have three to five 'lifequakes' in our lives — major shifts that change our habits, our identities, our communities and our sense of purpose. These shifts are even more frequent now that it feels like the pace of change in the world is speeding up. The more we can embrace change, rather than try to hold on to our old ways, the more set up we will be to adapt and move forward. For this book, you interviewed people going through all kinds of life transitions, from changing careers to leaving prison. What did you find to be universal truths about these transitions? There were two: that transitions take away our sense of community, and that during a transition, we often need to change our definition of success. Stanley — the man I interviewed who left prison after 20 years — told me that when he did, he lost the sense of camaraderie he felt while there. He also realized that he'd previously defined success by having a family and a stable job. When he left prison, he needed to redefine success to include the impact he'd had on other people's lives while in prison. Though my experience was not the same, I also felt a huge loss of community and the need to redefine success while leaving diving. In the book, you write that as humans, we are resistant to change and feel a need for certainty. Why are we so resistant to such an inevitable part of our lives, and how can we overcome this? We often waver between the need for stability and a desire for change and growth. Right now, as a society, our expectations for certainty are ever-increasing. Twenty years ago, there were no dating apps that could assess my compatibility with a partner and no Yelp reviews that could predict if I'd like where I chose to eat dinner. Now with generative AI, there are many more avenues that market a false sense of security, and I think those avenues give us even more anxiety when it comes to the inevitable moments when we are uncertain. One way to fight that need for certainty is to put ourselves in difficult and uncertain situations. The ability to live in uncertainty is a muscle: The more we rely on external things to give us a sense of certainty, the less capable and the more anxious we feel when we don't have those crutches around. In the book, you write that a transition never ends. What do you mean by that? I used to think of transitions as beginning, middle, end. Instead, psychologists use the phrases moving into, moving through, and moving out of to describe transitions, acknowledging that they rarely yield a clear-cut endpoint. My friend Nora, whom I write about in the book, expected that once she was in remission from cancer, she would move forward and thrive. In reality, she's in remission, but she has brain fog, fatigue and lingering health issues that will change her life moving forward. The damaging and false expectation is that transitions end. Often, in reality, we don't return to our previous state, and our transition instead ripples into our future — but that rippling change means ongoing growth and forward movement. How can we move forward after leaving something important to us behind? Rituals are a great way to honor what we're leaving behind, commemorate how it shaped us and help incorporate the lessons from it into our evolving identities. Just like holding a funeral for a lost loved one, people find creative ways to honor different parts of their lives coming to a close. One woman I interviewed who struggled with infertility threw herself a menopause party complete with tampons wrapped in ribbons and women telling their first period and menopause stories. [Author] William Bridges said that change is something that happens to us, and transition is how we choose to react to that change. I think there's a third step to that — how we interpret that transition — and rituals can help us do so in a way that moves us forward. What would you recommend someone do when they're paralyzed by the thought of an upcoming change? Firstly, I'd recommend someone reframe their anxiety by spinning those fears into opportunities. 'I'm afraid to leave this job because I don't know what will happen' can become 'If I leave, there will be so many opportunities open for me, and I'm going to have my own back.' Secondly, it's important to start with something small and concrete. The idea of finding a new passion is paralyzing, but asking yourself what you're interested in and finding a small step you can take in the direction of exploring that interest feels much more manageable. What would you say to someone who's not sure if they're ready to make a big jump? An author named Annie Duke wrote a book called 'Quit' — in it, she writes that by the time a decision appears to be 50/50, it is probably better for your upcoming happiness if you move on. We have a societal bias towards grit, and every success story seems to be of someone who had an idea and then overcame obstacles and then succeeded. Stories forget to include all the things that person quit before they chose and invested in the right path. We don't quit nearly as often as we should, so if you're thinking about quitting something, do it. Now that you've finished writing your book, you're going through a period of transition again. How do you feel about it this time around? There's grief and loss associated with all transitions. Something I have to remind myself of with each transition I face is that there will be a period where I don't know what's next, and that's normal. Things aren't supposed to last forever, and I have to remind myself to breathe into the opportunity that temporariness brings, rather than the fear. I think many of us are overwhelmed by possibilities — there are many things we could do, but we don't know which path to take. I'm in the aftermath of a project I felt so certain about, and my instinct is to wait for that certainty to hit me again before taking a step in any direction. But if I do that, I'll be waiting forever. What I need to do is ask myself is, 'What am I curious about? What is driving me?' and then invest time into exploring it — that is how I'll figure out what my passion is going to be next.

Henley Regatta's parade of manners
Illustration by Charlotte Trounce I never thought I would curse myself for not owning a straw boater. What use does someone like me – a fierce devotee to the metropole, allergic to trace amounts of kitsch, irredeemably Irish – have for a hat like that? On Friday I found out: I was off to Henley Regatta and in search of something to wear. I wanted it to say 'the Home Counties are my sunlit uplands, I am a shire Tory'. If only for the hat! With its taste-adjacent mock-Tudor, primary-school bunting, wood-panelled motor boats, glittering stretch of river and ambient waterfowl, Henley-on-Thames might have claim to be Britain's nicest town – if you are into that sort of thing. It is at least technically close to truth: its parliamentary constituency is in the top ten least deprived in all of the United Kingdom. And unlike Holland Park, or Bath, or Oddington – where these people might otherwise live – it is quiet. Mary Berry lives here. I don't know where Cath Kidston lives but I can tell you that she would like it too. The Notable Businesses section of Henley's Wikipedia entry is rather short. In fact, I will report it to you in full: 'Organic baby food manufacturer Ella's Kitchen is headquartered in Henley-on-Thames.' (Ends.) A mid-pandemic trip to Eastbourne, a seaside resort on the south coast, made me wonder whether anyone had told the residents there that the war was over. On the banks of the river in Henley with boats full of Krug and ruddy-faced men drifting past, it is almost as if the 20th century had never even happened. Henley exists in an eternal sun-dappled afternoon in 1899. Suffering is relative, but I suspect not much of it goes on here. Take all of that and dial it up to 11 and you have Henley during the annual six-day Royal Regatta – the world's most prestigious rowing event, so I'm told. And a highlight of England's social calendar, so I worked out myself. 'If you go to Ascot, you go to Henley,' some polite 19-year-olds (recent graduates of Bedford School) explained to me as they shared a pitcher of Pimms at the Catherine Wheel – or, in other words, the world's poshest Spoons. The banks of the river are thronged with men in striped rowing blazers (each colourway a secret code for the school they would have been caned at 50 years ago) and women in floral dresses (one mistakenly wore a fascinator, singling herself out as a conspicuous arriviste – tut tut!). As I snaked my way through the crowd – primitively, still longing for the boater – I heard of two separate men called Orlando, I saw one straw-hatted broadsheet columnist, and I drowned in a sound bath of RP. It was diverse of age, if nothing else: the blazers a uniting force between young and aged, all Old Boys at the end of the day. This Oxfordshire town was once the seat of Michael Heseltine and Boris Johnson – but now, for the first time since 1910, the Tories no longer reign over their leafy riverine heartland. The Liberal Democrats stormed through David Cameron's England last year and even the residents of Henley – the only place in Britain that still thinks Lord Salisbury is prime minister – were convinced by the pitch. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe I wonder if the contemporary Tories put down the migrant crime statistics and swapped them for a pair of deck shoes, their friends in Henley may come back to their side. I suspect, in the very least, the two Orlandos would. I tried on a boater: charming! I think. I understand these people… I say, imbued with confidence afforded by a straw hat – these are the good-time radicals, the uncool elites, the posh people cosplaying as even posher people. Easy. And then a boat passes with some small children, a young blonde woman and a man in a stetson. Flapping from the stern, in the light and wealthy Henley breeze, was a Confederate flag. 'It's just bad manners,' someone from the bank harrumphs. Is it just bad manners? So I thought: time to go. Back to London. I don't get this at all. You do NOT need the hat, Finn.
