Life Transitions
You're in-between.
The life you knew is changing, and what comes next isn't yet clear.
This in-between space feels uncertain, unsettling and unsafe.
Change is rarely smooth..
Life is a series of phases. Each has its own identity, relationships, and sense of purpose. Moving from one to another disrupts the equilibrium we’ve established, even when the change is welcome.
In a culture that values quick adaptation and pushes us to move forward, we’re often unsupported through the messiness of transitions. But real change takes time to integrate, and the process is rarely linear or predictable.
You're questioning what you thought you knew.
Absolutes you never examined are suddenly up for debate. The story you tell yourself about who you are and what matters to you feels incomplete or outdated.
This fundamental questioning can destabilize us. Simultaneously, it can be the first sign of significant growth potential.
You're grieving the loss of your old identity.
Even when change is positive or chosen, there’s a process of letting go of the old. The person you were, the role you played, the future you imagined—all require mourning before you can fully move forward.
Others might not understand why you're conflicted about a welcome change. Releasing what was doesn't diminish excitement about what's coming—it honors the work of transition.
The uncertainty feels overwhelming.
Not knowing who you're becoming or where you're headed can trigger anxiety about making choices. The pressure to have a clear plan when you're still figuring out what you want creates additional stress.
The unknown feels vast and full of possibilities, which can feel simultaneously exciting and terrifying. Without familiar landmarks, it's hard to know if you're moving in a good direction or just wandering aimlessly.
Embrace the liminal space.
The journey isn't a problem to solve—it's a necessary part of growth. This uncertain territory is where transformation happens, where we free ourselves of old patterns and open up new possibilities.
Instead of rushing through the discomfort, learn to tolerate the tension of ambiguity. This interval holds unique creative potential that becomes available when you stop trying to escape it and start amplifying what it offers.
Consciously author your next chapter.
Rather than letting change happen to you, actively design who you're becoming. This doesn't mean having all the answers—it means making intentional choices about your values, relationships, and direction.
You get to decide which parts of your old identity to carry forward and which to leave behind. Every transition offers the opportunity to align more closely with what truly matters to you and the wisdom you gain with time.
