So many people talk about making bold moves.
So few talk about how long you have to stand in uncertainty to make a meaningful one.
​
I’ve had my share of liminal spaces — the uncertain in-betweens after what was and before what’s next.
​
But nothing has stretched me like this one: Building this business has been my longest stretch of liminality yet.
➡️ Living inside uncertainty (I definitely have a long-term lease!)
➡️ Experimenting forward (and sideways... and backwards, sometimes)
➡️ Learning when to hold firm to my vision — and when to adjust it

To not only survive, but thrive, I'm employing every.single.one of my liminal techniques. But if I lost them all and only was allowed to keep one... I'd want it to be this one:

My community: My fellow liminal travelers.

I've got all the liminal skills, believe me. And thank goodness I do. But they’d be nothing without the people in the arena with me. Not my sideline support team — though they're great — but the people who know exactly what I’m going through.

And this brings me to something I’ve been building:

In the past year, I’ve written 48 newsletters and 39 blog posts on liminal spaces, sharing insights, wisdom, and stories — all tested through real-life experiences. (You might think I’d run out of things to say, but alas — I’m just getting started 🤣.) I’ve supported hundreds of people through transitions, whether 1:1, in small groups, or in larger circles.

And all of that is woven into my upcoming short course and pop-up community.

So in today's newsletter, allow me to share more...

You've (likely) heard about this:

​Liminal by Design: Navigating the In-Between with Intention and Imagination was built from my expertise (I'm a former IDEO leader) — and deepened by my lived experience (if traveling through the liminal space required a passport, mine would be out of pages).

But have you heard about this:

Part of nervous-system regulation? Being in community.

​Liminal by Design is a live short course and pop-up community where we apply design principles directly to the liminal space — that stretch between what was and what's next.

You’ll leave with:
✅ A fresh lens on the in-between (and why it’s richer than you may realize)
✅ Tools to navigate change with curiosity and intention
✅ A small, doable experiment to help you move forward right away
✅ A community of fellow liminal-goers, with a dedicated pop-up community space! (our very own group of liminal travelers)​
​
✨ Live May 9, 11:00am–1:30pm ET (recording included if you can’t join live)

Whether you're a seasoned traveler through the liminal or an occasional visitor...

...it’s always better with company — to share the (in)sights, swap stories of 'you won’t believe what happened today,' and celebrate the awe-filled moments along the way.

No matter what your liminal space is—work, home, relationships, or something else—if it speaks to you now, I would love to see you there!

Your favorite liminal guide,
Amy
