What is the liminal space?

It’s the in-between—after what was, before what’s next.
When things are shifting, but you’re still expected to decide, lead, act with conviction.

It shows up in reorgs, job shifts, relocations, leadership changes, breakups—any time when what once worked no longer does.

In architecture, liminal spaces are hallways, courtyards, arcades (the European kind, not the 12-year-old birthday party kind)—the places between “real” rooms. Unstructured, but powerful. They invite movement, creativity, unexpected encounters.
(Anyone who’s had a career-making conversation in a hallway knows: these aren’t throwaway spaces. They’re where things happen.)

Life’s liminal spaces are the same. Foggy, yes—but full of freedom and possibility.
