Liminal Space: How to Navigate the “No Longer, But Not Yet” of Midlife

Join our community: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/community/There are seasons in life when you can feel that something is changing, but you can’t yet see what’s taking shape. You know you’re no longer where you were, but you don’t yet know where you’re going.This is a liminal space—the space between what was and what is coming.It’s the no longer, but not yet—the murky, uncomfortable season where an old way of being is ending and something new is beginning to take shape.And if you’re a growth-minded woman in midlife, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself here more than once.In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when life is changing, whether you chose the change or it was thrust upon you, and how to navigate those seasons without rushing, resisting, or abandoning yourself.Because the work of a liminal season isn’t first and foremost to figure everything out or take massive action.The primary work is to slow down. To listen. To rest. To let go. To put down deeper roots. To take really good care of yourself.And to trust that something essential is happening beneath the surface, even when life feels barren and you can’t fully see what’s coming next.In this episode, we’ll explore:What a liminal space is and why so many midlife women find themselves in oneWhy significant change can bring up anxiety, self-doubt, overwhelm, and old patterns, even when you’ve already done a lot of inner workWhy you don’t need to rush to make big decisions when you’re in the thick of transitionHow to loosen your grip on what was and make room for what’s becomingWhy the “barren” seasons of life can actually be seasons of putting down deep roots and preparation for transformationHow to care for yourself when your usual rhythms and routines no longer workWhy rest, connection, health, and small doses of joy matter so much in seasons of upheavalHow your past can remind you that you have moved through uncertainty before—and found more freedom and joy on the other sideMost of all, I want you to walk away knowing this:You are not broken. You are not doing anything wrong.You may simply be in the uncomfortable space between who you were and who you are becoming.And the only way through is through.ResourcesHow to Love Yourself Well While Navigating a Liminal Space: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/liminal-space/ Seasons of Transition Are Important and Require Ample Rest: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/seasons-of-transition/Quiet the Noise 4-Day Challenge: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/quiet-the-noise/Connect with Krista:Instagram: @a_life_in_progressFacebook: @alifeinprogressca and @rebrandingmiddleageYouTube: @ALifeinProgressWebsite: alifeinprogress.caSubscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, hit subscribe and leave a review.
