18: When Your Old Life Stops Working: The Awkward In-Between


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re naming something almost everyone experiences—but few people can explain: that “flat,” quiet season after growth. 

You’re not falling apart… but you’re not inspired either. If you’re a founder, leader, or parent who’s used to momentum, this phase can feel unsettling.

Here’s the truth: this isn’t failure—it’s recalibration. It’s your nervous system uninstalling old coping patterns and learning how to exist without urgency, performing, fixing, or chasing.

You’ll learn:

  • Why the nervous system chooses familiar over healthy
  • The neurological reason this phase feels uncomfortable (your brain hates “no map”)
  • The common ways people sabotage themselves in the quiet
  • How to move through the in-between using the (re)Parenting Method: awareness, attunement, safety, leadership, and re-coding

If you’re in the in-between right now, take this with you: this isn’t emptiness—this is space. And space is where the new you stabilizes.
