What I've learned to do, instead of try to make the fear be anything other than what it is,

which what fear is doing is that's trying to keep me safe,

I've learned to acknowledge it, welcome that voice into the conversation,

instead of trying to quiet it down or thinking that I can't move forward because fear is there and it's present.

And actually, thank it.

Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know they are ready for more.

So I love when I'm in a season and talk about it on the podcast. And then people come out of the woodwork, letting me know that they are also in that same season. And that's kind of what happened when I

recorded that series just a few episodes ago about the gap.

And the gap is not a very creative name at all, but it's really the term that I'm using to describe that in between when you are on a journey of growth, you are up-leveling.

And we don't talk often enough how it's not this automatic, you snap your

fingers and all of a sudden you're in your new identity. There is actually this process and there is a

gap in between when you definitely are not the old version of yourself, but you haven't fully embodied

everything that is the new version of your identity.

And that in between is often where I get stuck.

It's where I see a lot of people get stuck.

And it's also where a lot of really intense emotion comes up.

So I put the question out to our text community asking what questions you all have about the gap.
