Why Change Feels So Hard: Thresholds & The In-Between
The Morning Share
112 views
What threshold are you standing at right now—and what might you need to set down before you can cross it?
In the final episode of their Becoming series, Angela and Deanna explore the threshold: the meaningful, sometimes uncomfortable space between where we have been and where we are going. They unpack why this in-between season is not a malfunction or delay, but often a necessary place of sorting, listening, healing, and growth.
Together, they name the common thresholds every person experiences, the deeply personal transitions that shape us, and the resistance patterns that can keep us lingering at the doorway. Whether you are waiting for certainty, holding tightly to an identity others expect from you, over-planning instead of acting, or wondering whether your past work “took,” this conversation offers language, compassion, and a next step.
You are not behind. You are not alone. And this threshold may hold more possibility than you can currently see.
