Life Beyond The Numbers

The Space Between - Dr Susanne Evans, David Lee and Me


Listen Later

"It's not an emptiness or a void, it's actually full of possibility. And once I started to explore it, how they explained it, the Japanese concept is about when you listen to music, there's always space between the notes. And then if you apply that to a book or a page, there's always space between the words. So that space, that white space, another way of describing, it is necessary." Susan Ni Chriodain

 

David, Susanne and I come together for a wide-ranging conversation about liminal spaces - the spaces between words, seasons, endings and beginnings. We explore why these in-between moments matter, why we often rush to fill them, and what becomes possible when we allow pause, uncertainty and not-knowing. The conversation covers:

  • seasons and transitions in life and in work
  • endings that haven’t fully ended
  • listening, silence and the courage to say “I don’t know”
  • This episode is an invitation to notice what we usually overlook and to consider what might emerge when we willingly inhabit the space between.
