    Intuitive Insights: The liminal space of transformation

    In today's episode, I share two intuitive writings with you—both in the form of poetry—and both on the topic of the in-between or liminal space of transformation. These poems speak to the discomfort that comes with shedding old, outworn ways and layers and coming to find ourselves anew and renewed.  The transitory phase or liminal space can be incredibly uncomfortable. We're not quite that "new" version of us and yet we're no longer the "old" version either. During this phase of transition and rebirth, it can feel as if we've been left out in the cold. We find ourselves reaching for old ways of comforting and soothing yet more and more we're coming to realize that the old balms no longer soothe. Yet, that surrendered leap forward into the great unknown continues to terrify us.  And so at this phase of change, we find ourselves lingering at the precipice... like an onion, the top layer of who we are is falling away, revealing a deeper, more whole version of our depth. And yet there's a rawness to this process—an exposed vulnerability that leaves us feeling naked in our own discomfort. Work with me—schedule a free 30-minute breakthrough consultation today.
