Hi there, Hello & Welcome (back) to The In-Bri-tween!

If I have to describe this episode with a few words, it would be ‘An End of an Era‘, ‘An End of a Cycle’, or ‘The End of Our Travels’.

Well, metaphorically I mean… As this is the last episode connected to travelling and an episode where I share why Episode #4 got promoted as a Prologue to this one and how it provided me a (liminal – non-judgemental) space to be, to feel, to express while ending a decade-ish cycle in my own story.

Then I will dive deeper into…

-How deciding to move countries (out of deep necessity/desperation) can push you into an in-between state and how could the wait feel…

-How I ‘aided’ my homesickness throughout the years, which turned out to be a more complex ‘emotion’ (Emotions actually!!) I was avoiding, bypassing…

-I elaborate on a not-so-pleasant liminal space you could find yourself ‘trapped’ in especially in this fast-paced healing era, and how it felt for me to free myself from it.(P.S. No, I have never jumped off of a waterfall, and please do not try it at home either! And while you are jumping on rocks, please make sure you are looking out for your own safety! Thank you!)

-And last but not least, I talk about the importance of REST (in a way that you might have never heard before… fingers crossed!) and share how R&R and I became extremely close over the years and how our connection is still going strong.

Too bad I cannot do a sing-y song here. Just kidding… :)

As always: Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening!

Enjoy this in-between, and I shall see you soon in our Next One!

P.S. If any part of the storytelling on here resonated with you on a level that you feel called to unpack certain areas of your life and/or create significant and meaningful changes within them, then please do not hesitate to reach out to schedule a free no-pressure consultation/conversation call to see where you currently are (Mind, Body, Soul) and what you might need in order to meet your deeper needs and desires. I look forward to connecting with You. :)

With Love & Health,

Hi, Hello, Welcome to The In-Bri-tween!

Join me on this little trip into Episode #4 where we are going to talk about…

TRAVELLING in a liminal space!

Starting out with a recent Summer-Time experience of mine, where I also leave you with hopefully some useful and COOL summer hacks for your next heatwave.

Then smoothly moving into our THREE objectives and unleashing a deep ponder over themes like:

-Holidays as ‘fixers’ - to make all of our problems magically go away

-The deeper, invisible ‘connection’ We have with travelling (wink, wink)

-Finding forgotten and hidden pieces of OurSelves within unfamiliar and breathtaking corners of Planet Earth

-And last but not least, a little confession through a huge summary about the creative journey of this episode…

Aaaaaand (maybe) MORE - depending on your pattern recognitiong and creation.

I think that is it… let’s see where this episode take us!

Thanking you kindly for being here and for listening.

And special thanks to those of you who were kindly given me some amazing reviews!

P.S.: If any part of the storytelling on here resonated with you on a level that you feel called to unpack certain areas of your life and create significant and meaningful changes within them, then please do reach out to schedule in a free consultation call where we are going to set out your next guidelines towards your needs and desires.

P.P.S.: Oh! As a nerdy English major, I have done some extended research and found some amazingly unique synonyms for ‘TRAVELLING’! Enjoy!

–Peregrinate - A word for long or meandering journeys (especially on foot) Peregrination - It is the journey of traveling to various places over an extended period of time, physically demanding.

–Sojourn - a word for temporary stays, a brief visit that is not your home. This word is not to be confused with JOURNEY. As ‘journey’ actively focuses on the act of moving from place to place, while SOJOURN is the deliberate pause at a specific destination… (NOTE: A perfect synonym for The In Bri-tween. HA!)

–Voyage - A word for a long and often adventurous journey taken by water, air or space… Bon Voyage when being on a cruise. (Fun Fact: I cruised through (see what I did there?) a period of time when I turned the TV on during the evening all the different movies were on the different channels, instead of evening time telly, I always ALWAYS caught the ending of Titanic when the unfortunate scene with the two beloved characters and the door happened… It happened about 5-6 times in a row… and for some reason I felt that it was a sign.)

–Globetrotting - The act of travelling frequently and to many different countries because of leisure, sightseeing, and also mainly for business, career. It describes a lifestyle characterized by extensive international travelling and deep familiarity for different cultures. (Globetrotting journalist, or a globetrotting executive)

I would say backpackers… who are just going from one place to another. Relatively fast.

–Wanderlust - A strong, deep and irresistible urge to travel around and explore the world and wander from place to place. And it is not just a passing hobby, but it is a craving for new experiences and the unknown (those in-betweens - I love IT!).

–Gallivant - This word is more likely to describe wandering for pleasure, entertainment and pure enjoyment rather than sticking to a specific travelling plan. Informal word, as it is implying that the person doing the gallivanting is having fun while neglecting other responsibilities or duties.

(P.S. The origin’s of Gallivant is coming/borrowed from the French word ‘galant’ as in ‘fashionable young man’ or ‘ladies’ man’ which then transformed into “gallanting” as in courting /the act of winning over the hear of a woman/... so the romantic tone or sense of the word that was carried into to describe the type of traveling that this word describes today… Hmm… Interesting!)

Welcome back to The In-Bri-tween!If you have been following from the very beginning. It is great to have you again!

But, if you are just finding this space…First of all, Welcome! I feel your intuition has “chosen” the best moment, the best episode (so far)!Thank you for being here… Stay as long as you need and want to.In this special bonus episode, I invite all of you, dear In-Bri-tween listeners, to slow down & settle into a 40-minute guided relaxation designed specifically for those moments spent in airports.The physical liminal spaces where so much waiting and transitioning is happening. Everything and nothing at the same time.

Whether you’re feeling restless, anxious, excited or simply frozen and overwhelmed within these in-between places, this meditation might very much help you to (re)connect deeply with yourself & guide you back to You and (many of) your different, even still unknown, layers of your whole Self.

Expect to be gently guided into presence through the following:1) Grounding and gentle breathwork,Then a2) Soothing body scanAnd last but not least,3) Some mindful sensory groundingCreating space for presence and conscious/somatic experiencing amidst the hustle and bustle.

This “virtual” practice is here not to fix you and make all your problems, anxiety go away in one ‘session’, but to support you by embracing the pause, easing you into the in-between & finding parts of yourself that might be overlooked in the cacophony of stillness and rush.

I hope this meditation, relaxation, expansion, self-(re)discovery can offer you a certain level of comfort, grounding & a moment (or two) to truly (learn to) be with yourself during your (external and/or internal) journey.

As I always express it, I would love to hear your brain and heart musings, so feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.

Thank you for accompanying me on this journey!Safe Travels!

With Love & Health,Bri
