Liminal-scape: The landscape of the in between.
The word liminal comes from the Latin limen, meaning “threshold.” It’s the place between where you’ve been and where you’re going.
It’s the leap from one side of the canyon to the other.... not fully in the past, not fully in the future, but suspended in that space of becoming.
That’s where transformation actually happens.
Most of us want the security of the before or the after. We want the comfort of what’s familiar or the clarity of already arriving. But the truth is, the growth, the breakthroughs, the identity shifts all happen in the in between.
Think about it…
- When you’re learning new habits, there’s a messy middle before they feel natural, right?
- When you’re building strength, there’s the burning, shaky reps before the PR, right?
- When you’re changing your body & mind, there’s the stretch of surrender before the results, right?
- When you’re setting boundaries, there’s the awkward guilt before the freedom, right?
- When you’re meal prepping, there’s the Sunday afternoon grind before the weekday relief, right?
- When you’re learning to say no, there’s the discomfort before the confidence, right?
- When you’re practicing positive self talk, there’s the resistance before the rewiring, right?
That in between is downright uncomfortable. THERE IS NO DENYING THIS
But it’s also sacred. Because it means you’re not who you once were and you’re becoming who you’re meant to be.
So today I want you to sit with this:
👉 Where in your life are you standing at the threshold?
👉 What leap are you in the middle of?
👉 How can you trust the process, even when it feels uncertain?
If you feel like sharing your response on any of these with the community that would be super amazing. But please dont feel inclined to do so as this is a personal set of questions. Only if you feel comfortable
The in between isn’t a void. It’s the birthplace of transformation. Keep leaping.
I am proud of you,
