How to Transform Relocation Into a
Creative Life Transition

Making the Big Move Book Cover

"Many books will tell you how to pack a box. This book will show you how to pack your life."

Moving is one of the 10 most stressful life events - right up there with divorce and loss of a loved one. We have all sorts of resources to deal with other stressful events - everything from therapists to wedding planners. A move costs as much as a wedding and changes your life as much as a divorce. But most people don't have any idea where to turn for help.

Making the Big Move answers these questions:

  • Why is moving so stressful?
  • What do you do when your dream job is 2000 miles away...and you don't want to move?
  • What happens when you realize you've made a horrible mistake (and how can you prevent this from happening)?
  • What is the one most important question you must ask before you make a move?
  • How do you decide if you'll like living in a new place?
  • What if your company transfers you to a new city...and you absolutely hate it?
  • When should you move to a new city without a job?
  • What is the best time of year to move with your children?
  • What should a single person do in a brand-new city?
  • How can you bring your dog and cat along -- even when you're renting?
  • How can you keep from feeling trapped when you're truly miserable and realize you've made a horrible mistake?

No need to dive under the bed at the sight of a moving van!

What others have said:


"I just love your Big Move book. I'm nearly a professional mover; twelve years, ten moves. Tee of those were cross country ones. Your book is very practical, spiritual and uplifting.

"I have recommended it to numerous students of mine during Coach U classes as well as directly to many of my clients. I would highly recommend this book to anyone contemplating a move or actually doing one."

"I'm currently reading your Big Move book and am so relieved to have found my sanity!

"Your book touches on each and every thought I've had including ones I didn't know how to express.  I kept searching the Internet for sites or forums about relocating but they all referred to the tasks at hand.  I needed something to discuss the emotional process.

"Thank you for writing this lifesaver!"
 -- C. Ramirez, Seattle, WA

"Cathy, I just ordered your book and it was amazing!

"I wasn't sure what I needed to do to get our children, ages two and four, ready for the move. Your idea of creating good-by rituals was invaluable. I plan to follow two of your other suggestions -- revisiting the old neighborhood and taking 'comfort possessions' in the van with us. Thanks SO much for a great resource."

-- Zoe Robinson, Toronto, ON, Canada

"When I read this book, a big "AHA" went off in my head. I've moved significant distances six times in my life. The first five times were fun, exciting, and a new adventure. The sixth time, all of that was missing. After I read Cathy's book, the light bulb went off and I understood what made that move different.

"If you are planning a move, even if it's two streets up, this book is a 'MUST READ!'"

-- JJ Dippel, Federal Employee, Washington State
