There comes a moment in many people’s lives when they look around and realise: this doesn’t fit anymore. The relationship, the career, the identity — it made sense once, and now it doesn’t.

Why transitions feel so destabilising
We often expect transitions to feel like stepping from one stable platform to another. In reality, they feel much more like stepping off the first platform before the second is quite visible.
This is the liminal space. And it’s actually where the most important work happens.
What the body knows about change
Your nervous system doesn’t distinguish between danger and uncertainty — it responds to both with activation. Understanding this can help you approach a transition with more compassion for yourself.
When things feel destabilising, this isn’t weakness. It’s your biology doing exactly what it’s meant to do.
Finding ground in the in-between
Practices that support the nervous system. Small anchors of routine. Relationships where you can speak what’s true. These are the things that make the liminal bearable — even generative.
If you’re in a transition right now, know that the disorientation is part of the process. You don’t have to have the next step clear to take the next step.
