Hi, it's Dora, and you're listening to Radio Headspace.
I'll be honest with y'all, sometimes I feel like I've lived nine lives.
I've gone through so many transitions, new cities, new roles.
Relationships ending, identities evolving.
And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that change doesn't always come with clarity.
Often it comes with confusion, tenderness, and maybe most of all, loneliness.
You start noticing shifts in yourself, the way you think,
the things that you're drawn to, the habits that you're letting go of.
But the world around you, it may not be shifting at the same pace.
And that gap between the old you and the new you can feel like standing on an island,
waving across the water.
And there's a word for this space, liminality.
It's the pause between no longer and not yet.
You're not who you were, but you're not quite who you're becoming.
And it can feel like floating, untethered, alone.
But here's the truth.
This space isn't empty, it's sacred.
It's where deep healing happens even if no one else can see it.
It's where you grow your roots before you bloom again.
And mindfulness can help us stay with what is without rushing into what's next.
