Music theory question! Please help

Hello fellow musicians!

Im in trouble with a song im writing. Its a simple song with 4 chords. C - F - Am - G. Now theres a key change that goes to Cm in the Chorus. I Can go straigt to Cm which gives a cool feel, but I’m looking for a cadence that takes it there a bit more naturally. So i was wondering about the theory behind making a shift from minor to major and vice versa in the same key. Hope someone Can help me!

I have tried to bridge it with a progression like: G - C - Dm - Em - F - G - Cm

I dont know much about Music theory, so maybe not use too many Big words ;-)
