694: The Space Between

I had a 4am realization last week. 4am realizations are the best…  My realization had to do with “the space between”. I realized that so much of my discomfort of the last few years has come from having to live in “the space between”.   The space where one thing has ended, but the next thing hasn’t started yet.  The space between realizing something has changed permanently and you cannot go back to what was and what lies ahead is scary.   The space between who you used to be and who you are becoming.  The space between what you once thought to be true and uncomfortable new truths. The space between playing small and playing big.  The space between standing in your truth and waiting to see who will stand beside you.  The space between holding your breath and finally speaking up.  Perhaps some of these spaces between are familiar to you too? In this episode, I share the agitation and impatience that tends to show up for me when I’m in the space between. Then, I walk you through 5 ways to navigate the space between.   The space between is uncomfortable, for sure. But it’s a necessary piece (errr, gift?) of growth. If you’re in the space between right now in one (or multiple) areas of your life, you are not alone. I’m in it with you, friend.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to Shameless Leadership! This show is for women, transgender people, non-binary folks, and allies who are committed to advancing their leadership and the leadership of those around them. In this space, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. Our mission is to help you foster these feelings within your own circles of influence to build trust, psychological safety, and a culture of belonging. In each episode, we dive into essential topics impacting women in leadership - everything from shutting down your inner critic and imposter syndrome to overcoming perfectionism to using your voice in new ways to advocate for yourself, your ideas, and other folks carrying marginalized identities. You'll hear practical tips, effective strategies, and inspiring stories that will not only enhance your leadership skills but also broaden your perspective to become a more confident, thoughtful, and empathetic leader. Our stories come from people carrying identities who are often underrepresented, underestimated, and excluded. By sharing their experiences, we aim to provide you with invaluable lessons that will transform your leadership journey. We are thrilled to have you join this community of Shameless Leaders who are actively creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can intentionally lead through a more curious, compassionate, and inclusive lens.
