Navigating Grief and Transformation Through Liminal Space

Podcast Description: Episode 147 – Navigating Grief and Transformation Through Liminal Space

In Episode 147, we delve into the transformative journey of grief, exploring the concept of liminal space—that in-between phase where we experience profound changes and personal growth. As I share my own grieving story, starting with the moments before I learned of my loved one’s terminal diagnosis, we’ll uncover how grief begins and evolves, often unexpectedly. This episode reflects on the challenging, unsteady journey through liminal spaces, where we lose our old identities and face new, sometimes uncomfortable realities.

Drawing inspiration from Octavio Paz’s poem Between Going and Staying and Mary Oliver’s Morning Poem, we discuss the importance of embracing this space for what it teaches us about resilience, creativity, and transformation. If you’re navigating grief, loss, or major life changes, join us as we explore how each step through liminal space brings us closer to healing, hope, and a new beginning. Never quit, never give up—good things are on the horizon.
