This part of my journey started when I was stuck in a job that wasn’t right for me. I could sense that the doors were closing for me there, but couldn’t see where the new doors might open yet, or even what they might look like, or where they might be. I was standing inContinue reading “My Heart Cried, “Freedom!” and the Rest was History…”

Plot Twist!
How do you react when life throws you a curveball? When you’ve planned, and organized, and thought out how every detail should go. “No surprises!”“I’m in control of my fate!”“I will achieve that goal!” Yes, but… Life often has a way of unfolding in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Sometimes, we view these changes asContinue reading “Plot Twist!”
Why Can’t I Make Myself Do That Thing?
Have you ever felt “paralytic overwhelm?” I have, and I know some of my clients have too.

Emerging from the Liminal Space (Or Have I?)
Not long ago, I wrote about how it can feel to be in that in-between place; the place where you know that where you are, or have just been, is no longer where you should be, and a new path or direction has not yet appeared. It’s a cloudy, mist-shrouded forest of frustration for some,Continue reading “Emerging from the Liminal Space (Or Have I?)”
Where Am I Now? Feeling into the Liminal Space
Have you ever experienced a time where you felt “between” things? Perhaps, between this phase of your life and the next? A time when there is no movement and no clarity on which way to go in your life, or no way to get where you think you should be. If so, you are inContinue reading “Where Am I Now? Feeling into the Liminal Space”
