Episode 9: The Neutral Zone Explained: Why Feeling Lost Is Actually Progress

Описание: 🧭 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Why the Neutral Zone feels so uncomfortable and disorienting
How confusion can actually be a positive sign of transformation
What it means to be “between the old and the new”
Why this phase often comes before clarity, meaning, and renewal
How to relate differently to uncertainty instead of fighting it

🔥 Key Insight

If you’re suffering from confusion, you’re not failing,
you’re one step closer to a new beginning.

The Neutral Zone is not where things have gone wrong.
It’s where identity loosens, old structures fall away,
and something more authentic starts to form.

Anyone going through change, loss, or transition
People feeling “in between” life chapters
Those questioning identity, direction, or purpose
Anyone who feels lost — and wonders if that’s a bad thing
