Liminal space refers to the place a person is in during a transitional period. It’s a gap and can be physical (like a doorway), emotional (like a divorce), or metaphorical (like a decision).

This is where one thing ends and another is about to begin, but you are not quite there yet, you are in the space between.

So why does this space matter and why do you need to know about it? 

In this episode, you will discover the 2 types of liminal space and how they can manifest in your life. 
-Physical Liminal Space
-Physiological Liminal Space

You'll also learn the 2 types of Physiological Liminal Space
-Emotional & Metaphorical Liminal Space

Learn to become aware of liminal space in your life and gain leverage to change your life for the better. 

Use the liminal space as an opportunity for growth and opportunity. 

Challenge:
Observe the liminal space you're experiencing in your life every day, both physical and physiological.

If you're constantly looking for external validation, seeking approval from others, or pushing yourself to the limits, then you might need to understand the difference between worth and worthy. 

Your inherent worth is 100% all the time. It's complete. It's whole. 

However, being worthy could vary based on circumstance, opinion, time, or group. 

When you believe and understand that your worth is invaluable and unchangeable, your ability to love yourself and others will increase dramatically.

Mental gymnastics is real. And it's exhausting. 

We all experience cognitive dissonance, but not many of us know how to cope with it. 

Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort a person feels when their behavior does not align with their values or beliefs. OR it's when we have two opposing beliefs that are both true.

In this podcast we will cover:
-What is cognitive dissonance?
-How do I cope with it?
-How can I use it for an opportunity for growth? 

Coping with cognitive dissonance:

• Acknowledge the conflicting feelings and validate your own emotions.
• Seek support from other moms and professionals.
• Focus on small, achievable goals and celebrate progress.
• Remember, it's okay to be flexible and adjust your approach as needed.
• Humor and self-compassion are key.

Positive reframing: Turn dissonance into opportunities for growth and learning.

Embrace the contradictions: Motherhood is full of them, and that's what makes it beautiful and unique.

Weekly Challenge:
Start noticing when you're experiencing cognitive dissonance.
