Understanding the In-Between Phase
00:00:57
Michele Martin
Hello, and welcome back to the Authenticity Revolution. Today, we're going to talk about one of the most tender, confusing, and transformative places and phases of the journey, the in-between.
00:01:14
Michele Martin
That space where you've left the old version of yourself, but the new one hasn't fully arrived. And your nervous system just wants certainty.
00:01:25
Michele Martin
but all that you have is truth. Whether it's the end of a career, a role, a relationship, an identity, the in-between is real.
00:01:38
Michele Martin
It's raw. And it's not a glitch. It's part of the path.
Experiencing and Coping with the In-Between Phase
00:01:44
Michele Martin
So we live in a culture that celebrates before and after stories.
00:01:49
Michele Martin
We love the glow up, the breakthrough, the look how far I've come moments. But the middle? the grief, that nothing is happening, but everything is changing energy, that part's not celebrated, which makes a lot of women think that they're doing it wrong.
00:02:11
Michele Martin
But you're not broken and you can't do it wrong. You're just in between. And that's not a failure. That's actually sacred ground.
00:02:22
Michele Martin
So the in-between might feel like deep fatigue or apathy, a sense of restlessness or irritation, questioning everything, feeling lost, invisible, or lacking motivation.
00:02:40
Michele Martin
And these aren't signs that something is wrong. They're often signs that your nervous system is reorganizing, that your energy is recalibrating, and that your body is shedding what it no longer wants to carry.
00:02:56
Michele Martin
Is it grief? Yes, but it's also preparation.
00:03:03
Michele Martin
And here's the truth. You can't mindset your way out of the in-between. You can only move through it in your body.
Embracing Uncertainty and Personal Growth
00:03:15
Michele Martin
And some of the practices that have supported me was letting myself rest even when I felt unproductive. Tracking my nervous system responses.
00:03:28
Michele Martin
Am I feeling numb? Am I feeling frozen? Am I anxious?
00:03:35
Michele Martin
Journaling without needing answers. Speaking to someone who could witness my process without rushing it. Using my human design authority to discern when to act versus when to wait.
00:03:53
Michele Martin
The in-between invites you to build a relationship with uncertainty. And that's where sovereignty begins. So if you're in a season of not knowing, of shedding, of no longer resonating with who you were, but not yet embodying who you're becoming, let that be okay.
00:04:18
Michele Martin
You don't have to rush it. You don't have to have the answers. You don't have to feel inspired or clear or ready. You just have to stay present and remember you're not alone.
00:04:36
Michele Martin
And if you're unraveling rules that no longer fit, you can start with my free guide, Rewrite and Reclaim the Good Girl Detox. It's a soft, powerful landing for where you are now.
00:04:51
Michele Martin
The revolution isn't always loud. Sometimes it's stillness. Sometimes it's rest. And sometimes it's just being brave enough to stay in the in-between.
