The Liminal Space of Midlife: Where Transformation Begins

When we hit our 40s and 50s, it can feel like we’re standing in a fog.

We’re no longer the person we were in our 20s — driven by hustle and ambition.

But we’re not yet the person we’ll become in our 60s and beyond.

This in-between is what’s called the liminal space — a threshold.

It’s the pause between who we were… and who we’re meant to be next.

It can feel disorienting.

Like you’re floating, unmoored.

Like the old ways of doing things just… don’t work anymore.

But here’s the truth:

The liminal space isn’t a crisis — it’s a crucible.

It’s where the old story burns away, making space for something new to emerge.

It’s where burnout, self-doubt, and quiet desperation give way to clarity, purpose, and renewed strength.

At Life After 40, we’re here to walk with you through this fog.
