YME Episode 11 - The Space Between Who You Were and Who You're Becoming (And Why It's Not Broken)

In this episode, Shawna and Cara talk about that confusing "space between selves" , when you don't recognize the person you used to be, but you're not yet who you want to become.

They share the discovery of the term for this space. This is "liminal space." Empowered by a name to call this shift they discuss why this uncomfortable, disorienting phase is not a failure, but actually where the most important and beautiful growth happens in motherhood.

TLFMTR (Too LONG for Mom to read):

• - "Liminal space" is the necessary, transitional phase between who you were and who you're becoming.
  - Feeling uncomfortable during a transition doesn't mean you're doing it wrong; it's a sign that growth is happening.
  - Remember that small progress is still progress. The only true failure is standing still.
  - Be as compassionate with yourself as you would be with a baby learning to walk.
  - If you stop trying to rush to the next version of yourself, you allow space for healing and growth to happen naturally.

How can you honor the person you were, while also giving yourself grace and patience as you become the person you are meant to be?
