Have you ever felt completely lost in the space between who you were and who you're becoming? Like you're straddling two identities and beating yourself up because the transition isn't happening fast enough?

On October 1, 2025, I sold my craft beer taphouse after eight years—and entered what's called a "bardo," the in-between state between endings and new beginnings. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the raw truth about my transition and what I've learned about honoring the messy middle instead of rushing through it.

If you recently left corporate and started a business, if you're frustrated with yourself for not having it all figured out yet—this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: the in-between is not a problem to fix. It's a process to honor.

I'm also sharing a story from my own past that mirrors exactly what you might be going through right now, plus hinting at something new that's emerging. Stay tuned—the full reveal is coming in the next episode!

This Week's Mantra: "I trust the pause. I honor the in-between. I am emerging exactly as I'm meant to."
