Feature: The Psychology of Becoming
USA News recently published a feature examining my work on identity transformation and what it means to “become” in periods of disruption. The piece explores how personal change is rarely about reinvention or starting over, and more often about allowing identity to evolve through pressure, uncertainty, and lived experience.
This conversation matters now because we’re living through overlapping personal, technological, and societal shifts. As systems change faster than people can orient themselves, the ability to adapt without losing coherence is becoming a critical human skill. The feature looks at this moment through a psychological lens, framing becoming as a process of integration rather than rupture.
