Feeling stuck in limbo? You’re not alone. In this episode of Guided by Third Wheel, we explore the uncomfortable but transformative “in-between” spaces.

Those moments after something ends, but before something new begins. Whether you’ve recently left a job, ended a relationship, or are just navigating change, we talk about why we’re so quick to fill the void, what happens when we avoid grief, and how to sit with discomfort long enough to find clarity.

We’re getting real about control, resentment, hustle culture, and how our backup plans may be keeping us from being fully present in our lives. Plus, we pull a card to close with some soulful insight.

Tune in now to reflect, reset, and maybe… burn that plan B.
