Shameless Leadership

694: The Space Between


Listen Later

I had a 4am realization last week. 4am realizations are the best… 


My realization had to do with “the space between”. I realized that so much of my discomfort of the last few years has come from having to live in “the space between”.  


The space where one thing has ended, but the next thing hasn’t started yet. 


The space between realizing something has changed permanently and you cannot go back to what was and what lies ahead is scary.  


The space between who you used to be and who you are becoming. 


The space between what you once thought to be true and uncomfortable new truths.


The space between playing small and playing big. 


The space between standing in your truth and waiting to see who will stand beside you. 


The space between holding your breath and finally speaking up. 


Perhaps some of these spaces between are familiar to you too?


In this episode, I share the agitation and impatience that tends to show up for me when I’m in the space between. Then, I walk you through 5 ways to navigate the space between.  


The space between is uncomfortable, for sure. But it’s a necessary piece (errr, gift?) of growth. If you’re in the space between right now in one (or multiple) areas of your life, you are not alone. I’m in it with you, friend.
