You’ve finally gotten what you wanted—the freedom, the team, the space to breathe. So why does it feel so... strange? Somehow, the discomfort of this in-between feels more unsettling than the chaos you left behind.
Or, maybe you’ve made the hard choice to step away from something that wasn’t serving you—or the world has shifted beneath your feet without your consent—only to find yourself floating in an unfamiliar space between what was and what’s next.
Here’s what I know to be true: you’re not lost—you’re simply in the liminal hush. That powerful space between what was and what will be.
But… this in-between isn’t a detour.
It’s an invitation.
This week, in the third and final part of our Navigating Change series, Karlee explores what it means to reside in the in-between—to no longer be who you were but not yet fully inhabit who you’re becoming. This tender, disorienting space is actually where transformation happens.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to make room for the after and create space for what you’re becoming. You’ll hear prompts to help you identify the versions of yourself that can finally rest, and how to stay grounded through community and authentic discernment. You’ll also explore what it means to pause long enough for the wisdom to bubble up, rather than rushing to rebuild what wasn’t really working in the first place.
If you’re ready to tend to your becoming rather than push through it, then this episode is for you.
