In Between Worlds: Understanding the Space Before the Shift

136 | In Between Worlds: Understanding the Space Before the Shift | Salarah Kacey Starre

Have you ever reached a point in life where something feels off, but you can’t quite explain why?

You’re no longer aligned with who you used to be, how you used to live, or what once motivated you. But at the same time, the next version of you hasn’t fully arrived yet either.

This episode explores what I call the waiting room phase, that in-between space where the old is falling away, the new hasn’t landed, and everything feels a little uncertain, disorientating, or undefined.

Rather than trying to fix or rush this phase, we explore why it’s actually a normal and necessary part of growth, healing, and integration. You’ll learn why this space often shows up after deep inner work or life transitions, how it can affect your energy, identity, nervous system, and relationships, and why resisting it can unintentionally keep you stuck there longer.

This episode is here to name the experience, reassure you that nothing is wrong, and gently guide you through how to be with this phase without fighting it.

If you’ve been questioning yourself, feeling lost between chapters, or wondering why clarity hasn’t returned yet,  this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• What it really means to feel “in between worlds”
• Why the waiting room phase can feel unsettling, frustrating, or empty
• How identity shifts and nervous system recalibration play a role
• Why this phase can’t be rushed or bypassed
• How to use this space for consolidation, clearing, and integration
• Why feeling lost is sometimes a sign of deep transformation, not failure
