To Transition or To Not Transition - TCD 003

What about transition is it that we love/hate? For one person a good transition could be bad for someone else. It could be the start of something beautiful or the end of something sad. I met Patti Flynn at Second Shift Coworking [https://www.secondshiftchicago.com/] to hear her story about transitioning through: endurance training, quitting her job of 26 years and coming out as transgender. She shares how coworking helped her find community, productive space and focus to start her own consulting business and find a full time job.
