There are moments in every woman’s life when she feels it. The tightness of the life that no longer fits. The discomfort of the version of herself she’s outgrown. The pull toward something she can’t yet name.
I call this a threshold moment. It’s not a breakdown but a breaking open. And it never means starting over.
Glo Atanmo shares…
“Pivoting never means starting over. It’s stepping deeper into who you are.”
The messy middle, nthe space between the life you’ve built and the one that’s calling you, is disorienting. There’s no map. No instructions. Just a growing truth inside you that says:
Not this. Not anymore.
But also…
Not quite sure what’s next.
That’s where we meet ourselves. That’s where Wild Awake Women rise.
Pivoting doesn’t erase your progress; it builds on your reclamation.
Every detour, every “I can’t do this anymore,” every soul whisper you finally choose to trust – it’s all part of the path. You’re not going backwards. You’re spiraling inward: closer to your voice, your rhythm and ultimately, your aliveness.
So if you’re in the messy middle right now. If you’re questioning, unraveling, or hovering in the void, I want you to know…
You’re not broken.
You’re not behind.
And you’re definitely not starting over.
You’re simply standing at the threshold of your reclamation of self.
And I want you to know, you’re not alone in that space.
