The Mezzanine is such a perfect way to name that space. Not the old life, not the new one yet — just the floor where you finally get quiet enough to hear yourself again. Forty years of showing up and being good at it, and still finding the courage to jump. That's not a small thing!!

Not sure I belong in the “just left a career” demographic, as I’ve been disabled for 26 years. But I do feel I’m in an in between space: breaking out of the mold society set of what “disabled” meant, and coming into my own creativity and authenticity. I’d like to stay and listen to what you have to say.

I am standing on the edge - Two full lengthy careers (retail and property management) that span 38 years. I am here, writing & I am elsewhere open to clients. Half cliff and half mezzanine - building a business and community and laying the foundation for a much favored new act. Here's to all of us!!!

Yes... we're all here together! 😊

Oh definitely....I'm still sort of in the middle. Moving slowly, learning FengShui and regrouping.

I’m finding that there are many of us here in the middle… learning along the way.

part of me still feels like I have to try harder and prove myself. especially when starting something new.
