The Space Between

In 2013, I lost my son.

Not the loss itself, but what I decided it meant about me, is what nearly cost me everything else.

The Space Between is the story of the year I became convinced I was a killer, unworthy of motherhood, of happiness, of grace and the slow, unglamorous work of discovering that none of it was true. It was never the event. It was the story I built on top of it, in the space of a few unwitnessed seconds, without ever once being taught to look at what I was doing.

This book is about that space, the narrow, invisible gap between what happens to you and what you decide it means. It's where every verdict you've ever handed yourself got written: I'm not good enough. I always mess things up. I don't deserve this. And it's the one place you were never shown you could stand inside, question, and rewrite.

Drawing from my own path through miscarriage, failed IVF, and a second pregnancy that finally gave me my daughter, I'll walk you through:

• Why your mind manufactures meaning faster than it can be trusted to
• The five invisible forces (bias, emotion, identity, resistance, control) that turn a bad afternoon into a life sentence
• How to finally separate the event from the story, without lying to yourself about either one
• A daily and weekly practice for living free of an old story, one ordinary morning at a time

You are not your story. And the story you've been telling is not the only one available to you.

This book will show you exactly how to find the space between, and start living there, on purpose.
