Think on Purpose

The Messy Middle

Jen Frey Season 1 Episode 84

Jen explores the often-overlooked "messy middle"—the transitional phase where one door has closed, but the next hasn't yet opened. Instead of rushing through this uncomfortable space, we discuss the importance of embracing it as a critical part of our personal growth and transformation.

Key Takeaways:

1. Acceptance: Embrace the liminal space you're in. By accepting your current situation instead of resisting it, you conserve energy for the real work of growth and transformation.

2. Don't Rush: Meaningful transformation takes time. Like a caterpillar in its chrysalis, you need time to fully evolve. Rushing the process might lead to missed growth opportunities.

3. Curiosity and Anticipation: Shift your perspective from dread to curiosity. The middle of your story is where all the action happens—use this time to learn, grow, and prepare for what’s next.
