When the “Not Yet” Becomes the Teacher

Have you ever felt like you’re standing in the middle of your own life, caught between the person you once were and the person you know you’re becoming… but you can’t quite see her yet?

That’s where my friend Amanda Humberson finds herself right now. And if I’m being honest, it’s where I find myself too.

This week’s Unjuggle the Struggle conversation is about that very space. “The liminal," in-between season. The one where the doors behind you are closed, the one in front of you hasn’t swung open, and all you’re left with is a whole lot of waiting, wondering, and trying not to run ahead of yourself.

Amanda’s honesty about her journey reminded me of something powerful: the “not yet” is not wasted. In fact, it’s often the most sacred space of all.

3 Lessons from the In-Between

1. The waiting season is shaping you.

It can feel frustrating when clarity hasn’t arrived, but the pause is preparation.

2. Self-awareness is your compass.

Amanda shared how self-talk and community help her stay grounded. Paying attention to your inner dialogue, and reframing it with intention, can turn the restless middle into a place of growth.

3. Stillness is not stagnation.

Our culture glorifies hustle, but sometimes the bravest thing you can do is sit still. The waiting is not empty and it’s where your roots grow deep enough to carry the weight of what’s ahead.
