Have you ever felt completely lost in the middle of getting somewhere — and somehow, somehow, it becomes a memory that just makes you smile?

In this episode, Cynthia shares the story of her wildly chaotic journey from Rome to Amalfi — missed trains, wrong platforms, a police standoff in the middle of a candlelit spiritual celebration, and 150 steps to the villa they had been dreaming about. And why that messy, uncomfortable in-between became one of the most meaningful experiences of the entire trip.

But this episode is about more than Italy. It is about what happens in the middle of every transition — the disorienting space between where you are now and where you are headed next. Using William Bridges' Transition Model, we walk through the three stages of any meaningful change: the Ending, the Neutral Zone, and the New Beginning. You will learn why the Neutral Zone is not a detour but the seedbed for transformation — and why the discomfort you feel in the middle is not evidence that something is wrong. It is evidence that something is shifting.

Cynthia also shares a personal story from a business trip to Colorado — including a 4:44 moment and a canceled flight — that became a powerful reminder that sometimes the interruption is the protection. Light-hearted, full of storytelling, and with something real underneath it. If you are in the middle of something right now, this episode is for you.

The chaos of transition is not a problem to solve — it is a process to trust.

William Bridges' three stages — Ending, Neutral Zone, New Beginning — and why most people panic in the middle.

The Neutral Zone is the seedbed for new beginnings. The discomfort is information, not a warning to stop.

Trusting the process means doing your part, staying in alignment, and remaining open to what is already forming.

What feels like an interruption or setback might actually be protection or redirection.

Your past does not get left behind. It becomes the root of what is growing now.

Look back at two or three seasons of your life and trace how each one became the root of the next. Where do you see the thread connecting who you were to who you are becoming? Share what comes up — come find me on Instagram @eneralign.
