Are you feeling like you're standing in a hallway? That in-between space where a chapter of your life has closed, but the next one hasn’t quite begun? Maybe it's a shift in your family, career, or a dream that’s evolved. This episode explores that very experience, offering a fresh perspective on these seasons of transition. Join host Pat Layton as she reframes “the hallway” not as a problem to be solved, but as a precious opportunity for preparation and renewal, a true gift from God. Many women experience a sense of “now what?” during these transitional periods, feeling unsure of what's next. But what if this time isn’t a waiting room, but a preparation space? Pat guides you through five practical steps – Pause, Listen, Discover, Dare, and Flourish – to navigate these seasons with trust and grace. You'll learn to release old burdens, connect with God’s guidance, and uncover hidden potential, recognizing that every chapter of your life has been preparing you for something. This isn't about becoming a new person, but about embracing the gifts and experiences you already possess. Discover how confidence comes from taking that first step, and how flourishing isn't about reaching a destination but embracing the present season with joy and purpose. Let go of the past, listen for God's direction, and step forward with courage, knowing your story is far from over.
In this episode: Pat Layton reframes “the hallway” — those in-between seasons when one chapter has closed but the next hasn’t begun — and walks through five steps to move through it well.
