What if the ‘in-between’ isn’t just a phase… but the space where the real shift begins?

I recently posted something personal—about liminality, that strange, often uncomfortable space between what was and what’s not yet.

I wasn’t expecting much.
But the response really stopped me in my tracks.

People I admire shared their own stories—moments after divorce, redundancy, reinvention—where they’d lived in that in-between.

Some said they were still there.
Others said, “That was me for years.”
And someone said: this feels like your calling.

And it hit me—this isn’t a side-note to transformation.
This is the transformation.

We talk about transitions like they’re tidy: from A to B.
But what about the middle part?

The “I don’t know who I am anymore” part.
The identity-free-fall.
The space where something has ended, but nothing’s begun.

That’s liminality.
And it’s everywhere—in life, in leadership, in business.
 •   The pause between roles
 •   The uncertainty in a restructure
 •   The silent rebuild after burnout
 •   The floating feeling post-promotion or post-exit

We treat it like a waiting room.
But what if it’s the work itself?

I don’t have all the answers. I’m still in it too.
But I think there’s something here—something worth naming.
Something worth staying with for a while.

Because maybe we don’t need to rush the in-between.
Maybe we just need to learn how to be there—with a little more grace, humanity, and honesty.

This is the space I’m exploring more deeply now—personally and through something I’ve quietly started building.

It’s early days. But it feels true.

If any of this sounds familiar, let’s have a chat and see how we move you forward, together.
