Limbo: The Prison Sentence That Eventually Sets You Free

Start Your Comeback

I would love to hear from you! Send a text!

Have you ever felt completely stuck between your past and your future? Welcome to limbo—the gritty wilderness of every life transition that doesn't come with a map, a timer, or an easy way out.
After the initial shock of a major life change wears off—whether it's divorce, loss, career upheaval, or empty nesting—we enter this strange suspended animation. It's what I call "motionless misery." For seven years following my divorce, I lived in survival mode, barely keeping my head above water financially and emotionally. I picked myself apart for every decision I'd ever made, carrying a crushing weight of shame and convincing myself I was uniquely disqualified from anything good.
But here's the truth I discovered: limbo, painful as it is, serves a powerful purpose. We don't grow on the mountaintop; we grow in the trenches, in the dirt, in the uncertainty. This middle space forces us to face ourselves honestly, sometimes for the first time. It's where we build the foundation for whatever comes next. The key is not to travel this wilderness alone—you need guides, truth-tellers who will challenge your thinking rather than simply comforting you.
Though it may take years (statistically, financial recovery from divorce takes five years, though mine took seven), limbo is temporary. Eventually, you find your rhythm again. You develop emotional stamina. Glimpses of peace appear. And when you've properly processed pain, grieved losses, and broken the cycle of shame, you become ready for re-entry into a new chapter—not the one you expected, but one you've developed the strength to handle.
Ready to discover what happens when you're no longer gasping for air? Join me next week as we explore re-entry and how to start living again. There's light on the other side of limbo. I promise. Until then, remember there's still time left on the clock. Let's get you off the bench to start your comeback.
