E4: The Unraveling and Reverence for the Liminal Space

In this episode, Raquel explores the liminal space. The in-between season where an old identity, way of life, or foundation begins to dissolve before the next chapter has fully emerged.

Through stories of family health challenges, marriage, grief, career shifts, pregnancy, and profound internal reorientation, she reflects on what it means to move through seasons that feel uncertain, destabilizing, and transformative all at once.

This episode is an invitation to reconsider what “falling apart” may actually be revealing beneath the surface.
