The Waiting Room: Navigating the Space Between Your 1.0 and 2.0 Self
Manage episode 440545308 series 3564588
In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of "the waiting room" — a space we enter when we're doing the hard work of evolving into the better version of ourselves, our 2.0 selves. I explain what this waiting room is and the feelings that can accompany it, from the discomfort and uncertainty to moments of clarity and growth. It's completely normal to experience a range of emotions, both positive and negative, during this time.
I share personal stories, reflecting on feelings of loneliness and heightened anxiety, especially when I made the difficult choice to stop investing energy into friendships that no longer served me. It was like going through a mourning period, saying goodbye to my 1.0 self and the people, habits, and patterns tied to that version. But this mourning is necessary to make space for the 2.0 version of ourselves — a more aligned, purposeful self.
Throughout this process, I revisit my 100% energy theory, which runs as a thread through all my episodes, and also draw on the life garden analogy. Just like in a garden, we must weed out what no longer belongs to nourish the things we want to grow. By doing this, we can step into our 2.0 selves, feeling more grounded and intentional.
This episode serves as a reminder that it's okay to feel a sense of loss and unease in this waiting room, but it's also where the seeds of transformation are planted.
