Episode 3518:

Life’s biggest transformations happen in the in-between moments, those transitions where the past lingers and the future is uncertain. Ryan Frederick explores how embracing change with curiosity, rather than resistance, can open doors to new opportunities, deeper self-discovery, and a more intentional way of living. Whether navigating a career shift, a move, or a new life stage, the key is to rethink your place, physically and mentally, and shape your next chapter with purpose.

Quotes to ponder:

"Transitions, whether anticipated or unexpected, hold a particular kind of tension. They mark the space between what was and what will be, a threshold where the past lingers and the future hesitates."

"It is natural to think of life as a series of destinations. But more often than not, we exist in motion, in the liminal spaces where things are neither fully formed nor fully undone."

"Landing in the perfect place may be unrealistic (perfect places don’t exist, anyway, and if they do, it is not for very long). It may be better to focus on finding the ‘right-ish’ place."
