The Space Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming

I was thinking about how different my life looks now compared to just a few years ago. Never in a million years did I think I’d be able to travel like this. For three decades, my life revolved around a news desk, a studio schedule, and being in one place at one time every single day.
​
Back then, everything was structured. Now, it feels more intentional, and that shift didn’t happen overnight. A big part of that shift has been my podcast.​
​
I actually started my career in radio, so sitting behind a mic again feels like coming home in a way I didn’t expect. But what makes this different is the depth of the conversations. We’re talking about midlife, identity, health, relationships, reinvention… the things we were never taught to say out loud.
​
Before this chapter, I felt like I was living in a constant “now what?” season. Finished my book… now what? Finished my documentary… now what?​

I kept hitting these milestones, which I am so grateful for, but I was still feeling like I was standing in between versions of myself. Not who I used to be, but not fully sure who I was becoming either.

And maybe you know that feeling.

Maybe you’ve hit a milestone or closed a chapter or quietly realized something doesn’t fit anymore. And you’re standing there asking yourself… now what?

​That’s exactly why I recorded this week's episode. I share the tools that helped me move through that in-between. How I stopped clinging to old labels, how I handled the fear that creeps in when you start over, and how I began building my next chapter intentionally instead of accidentally.​

So I just wanted to let you know that I’m here, I’m building, and you are at the center of this next chapter with me. Thank you for being here. Truly
