The Space Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming: Because becoming her doesn’t happen overnight — it happens one aligned step at a time.

Do you ever feel stuck in the transition?
Like… you’ve already outgrown your old life, but the new one still feels just out of reach? You’ve made the decision to move forward, but every step toward what you want feels heavy. Overwhelming. Like a checklist of impossible tasks that just keep piling up.
Yeah, same.
Here’s the truth I’ve had to learn (and re-learn):
The journey doesn’t begin when everything’s figured out. It begins where you are.
This space you’re in? This isn’t a waiting room. It’s not a punishment. It’s the first chapter of your new story.
Sometimes it doesn’t look like anything is happening, but this is where everything is happening. This is where the old patterns rise to the surface, not to trap you...
but to give you a chance to finally shift them. To rewrite the story you’ve been living on autopilot.
You don’t have to start over. You just have to start from here.

A business coach once told me, “You’re never late, you’re always right on time.” It’s something I remind myself of often. Because we can’t go back and change what we didn’t do yesterday or last year. All we can do is begin from right now — and trust that it’s enough.
We don’t need to see the whole path. We only need to see the next step.
And sometimes? That next step is something small. Something that sparks the tiniest bit of peace or passion. Something that makes you feel just a little bit more like you.
That’s enough. One intentional step is all it takes to begin.
Let it be easy. That’s the secret no one talks about.
Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. Stop waiting for the perfect time or the perfect version of yourself. You don’t need a new job, a better body, a clearer plan, or a magic moment to make your move.
You just need to believe that you’re worthy of the life you want — and take one aligned step at a time.
But here’s the other truth: it won’t feel good all the time.
The in-between is hard. You’re half in your old life, half in the one you’re building — and the split can feel disorienting. You’ll want to give in. Numb out. Default to old habits just to feel something familiar.
But please don’t give up here. You’re not stuck. You’re settling in.
You’re building safety in your new story. And that takes time.
So be gentle with yourself while you realign. Trust the process, even if it feels slow. Keep choosing the step that makes tomorrow feel better, not just the one that makes today easier.
You’re on the edge of amazing things.
And if it feels heavy? That’s not a sign to stop. It’s a sign that this dream has lived in your heart for a long time, and now it’s time to see it through.
The in-between phase isn’t a holding pattern, it’s the most important part of the journey. It’s where you remember how to breathe, how to enjoy your own company, and how to set a new standard for what you will and will not accept.
This is your season to slow down, let go, and choose again. One tiny moment at a time.
If you need somewhere to start, may I gently recommend a good purge? (I did one today, and wow. Lighter already.)
Or maybe, just maybe, your first step is signing up for something that reminds you you’re not alone in this. That’s why we created the Glow Getters Club, to offer soul-fueled support and little luxuries while you navigate this in-between.
Because rebranding your whole life is exhausting, let us help you glow while you do it.
