So today on the 4:13, author Rachel Anne Ridge will explain “The Donkey Principle” and it will help you overcome obstacles, create lasting change, and achieve meaningful success. You've got to hear this conversation to believe it, so let's get started! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/263

“Liminal space can best be described as going through a change or going from place to place—from one thing to the next,” says transitions expert Melissa Cohen, a licensed clinical social worker in New York and founder of the mental wellness website A Redefined You. “It’s the space between what is and what will happen next,” she says. In other words, liminal space refers to the actual space or time in which you shift from one phase to another." Have you ever found yourself in a liminal space? You may not have known to call it by that name, but it tends to be uncomfortable or aggravating, or even painful, depending on how long time in liminal space lasts. In this episode, Author and Creative Coach, Rachel Anne Ridge, helps us understand how to better navigate the journey through liminal space. In her new devotional, "Your Mountain is Calling: Finding God in Untamed Places,' she invites us to embrace Rest with both arms.

What we chat about: Her grown children and her perspective looking back An unexpected way she shows love to her husband A practical way in which they have been a neighbor to someone who needed it A glimpse into life with small kids and a small business How the quote "opportunity favors the prepared" has proven true in her life     Strategy to Struggle Well Remember: you're more likely to succeed at your plan if you make it small and actionable AND if you choose when this week you'll do it.
