Ep 104 - Living in the Space of In-Betweenness

“We only have control over who we are being and how we respond to the external stuff. We can only control how we are in relationship with ourselves deep within.” -Leslieann Hobayan

This week is all about living in the space of in betweenness. In this episode, I take a look at how we can move through these ever-changing times and find places to land. In my own life, I’m between residences. I found a landing place at my mom’s house where my daughters and I are staying while we wait for our own space to open up. Living in between is nothing new for me. Being part of the diaspora, I am born into that liminal space. Many, if not all, children of immigrants are familiar with this in-betweenness, where you do not belong in the US nor do you fit in in your parents’ homeland.

Looking for the other side of this in-betweenness, questions arise: when and where are we going to land? What does it look like? Can we also move in such a way that it feels supportive to our physical bodies?

I invite you to listen along to this episode to get curious about these liminal spaces we occupy, the spaces that hold no certainty or landing pads.
