A new year often magnifies that gap between where we are and where we want to be.
But that gap isn’t failure—it’s invitation.
In The Rebalancing Act, I talk about how growth rarely feels balanced while it’s happening. It feels uncertain, awkward, and unfinished. Yet it’s in that messy middle that we discover our capacity for change.
Consider this: every meaningful transformation—new career, healed relationship, renewed health—happened because someone stayed in the discomfort long enough to grow through it.
So rather than rushing to close the gap, what if you honored it?
Reflect on:
What part of you is stretching right now?
What support or structure could help you stay steady while you grow?
What would it look like to give yourself grace in the becoming?
That space between who you are and who you’re becoming doesn’t need fixing — it needs structure and compassion.
If you want help navigating this “in-between,” I’ve created reflective resources that guide you through:
Naming what’s shifting
Anchoring to what matters most
Choosing next steps without rushing the process
The Legacy Blueprint Workbook and follow up tools are available here as gentle guides to help you navigate through this time.
Growth is rarely graceful. But it’s always worth staying for.
With encouragement,
Carol
