What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? This episode of Encouragementology, hosted by the ever-inspiring Kendell Boysen, tackles that very question by exploring the often uncomfortable yet familiar middle stretch of life. You know, that space where you're too late to start over but too soon to give up. Kendell takes listeners on a reflective journey, urging them to pause and sit in this middle space rather than rush through it.
With a heartfelt nod to her husband's new single, 'The Horizon,' she highlights the beauty of being in the middle of the journey, where decisions, detours, and dashed hopes fill the rearview mirror, while the road ahead remains a little blurry. Kendell shares how this middle phase is not a crisis but a legitimate part of life's journey where transformation happens. It's where you reconcile your past with your present and still hold onto hope for the future.
She brings in wisdom from Brene Brown and Parker J. Palmer, who suggest that this 'unravelling' phase is about loosening the grip on who you thought you were supposed to be. Through personal anecdotes and broader insights, Kendell offers practical advice on how to move forward even when the path feels foggy. From naming the season you're in to revisiting dropped dreams, she provides listeners with tangible steps to navigate this tricky stretch of road.
This episode is an invitation to embrace the journey and find strength in being 'in the middle.'
So, if you're feeling stuck or questioning your direction, Kendell's words might just be the gentle nudge you need. Are you ready to pause, reflect, and take stock of your journey so far?
