Divine Timing, Control, and the Myth of Imposter Syndrome

On 'Step Into Next' Leanne and Helaine love to cover what they call the "liminal" space - that in-between can mean a LOT of different things, and this episode certainly proves that.

In this one, they unpack what it really means to trust "divine timing" (without bypassing grief, frustration, or real-world messiness). They also (somewhat surprisingly!) explore spirituality as a practical tool for letting go of control, why "everything happens for a reason" can be harmful in certain moments, and how surrender looks different depending on where you are in your journey.

The conversation moves through:

• Navigating the uncomfortable gray space between one identity and the next
• The space in between after breakups/divorce, selling a company, or retiring from a pro sport career
• Having confidence in any gray area
• Helping close friends navigate the space in between without being pushy or insensitive (and why Mel Robbins' "Let Them" paradigm can be a powerful tool!)
• Why comparison (especially via social media) can derail your sense of self
• Defining what divine timing means to us and reframing it in a way that doesn't dismiss real loss or pain
• Why imposter syndrome may be less of a personal flaw (and is it really a "syndrome"?!) and more of a systemic issue
• How women are conditioned to doubt themselves in business, leadership, and life
• If the the phrase "everything happen for a reason" is true
