The In Between Season

I’m in a transition period and if I’m being honest, it’s a little scary.

This season feels like walking through a dimly lit tunnel, where clarity is a whisper and every step requires deep trust. I’ve silenced the societal noise, the kind that can be loud, chaotic, and convincing if you let it. That noise no longer holds weight in my life. I’m learning to listen inward, to really tune in to what makes me whole, and to gently release everything that doesn’t.

Right now, the pour I’m allowed is minimal. This isn’t a season of giving endlessly. This is a season of filling my own cup, of sitting with myself and the uncomfortable truths that come with growth. I’m choosing stillness. I’m choosing healing. And I’m choosing to surrender.

Healing and evolving require patience, a kind of poise that doesn’t always feel graceful.

Whew, hunnie child… this level of discomfort? It’s something else.

It’s stretching me in ways I didn’t ask for but apparently need.

There’s a refining happening here, and though I can’t always see the full picture, I know this path is purposeful.

I recently watched a podcast where Denzel Washington said, “You can’t lead and follow, and you can’t follow and lead.” That hit me deep. This season isn’t about leading. It’s about following, trusting something greater than myself. Faith is my anchor. And while the way forward feels unclear, the conviction in my spirit is strong: greatness is ahead.

The darkness is not punishment, it’s preparation. It’s the quiet space where I get to shed the pieces of myself that were never meant to follow me into my calling.

When the light comes and I know it’s coming, peace and joy will be waiting.

Until then, I’m staying present. Trusting the process. Following the path.

Because sometimes, the greatest growth happens in the stillness, in the silence, and in the dark.
