  SPEAKER_00: Picture yourself standing in a doorway, one foot still in the room behind you, one foot not yet in the room ahead.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: Let your body settle right here in the doorway without rushing through to either side.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Just notice the breath as it is, no changing it not yet.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: Now gently let it deepen in and out once more a little slower in and out all the way.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: And something else hasn't opened yet.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: You are in the doorway, the in-between.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: Most of us hate this part.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: We want to be back in the old room where things made sense or already in the new one.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: Where things make sense again.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: The doorway itself feels unbearable to just stand in.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Not what it used to be, not what it's about to become.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Just the doorway, exactly as it is right now.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: There's a kind of honesty in it that neither room quite has.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing here is pretending to be finished.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: But the doorway is not empty.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a void between two meaningful places.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's its own kind of space, quiet, unfinished, full of a strange kind of possibility, precisely because nothing has been decided yet.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: Every ending you've ever survived had a doorway like this one somewhere inside it.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: You may not have noticed it at the time.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: You were probably too busy trying to get through it quickly.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: What if this time you let yourself actually stand here instead?
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: Feel your feet right where you are, not in the past room, not in the future one, just here on this threshold, which is allowed to simply be what it is.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to rush this.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing is asking you to.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: Still in every way that matters, okay, even without knowing yet what's on the other side of that second door.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: I can inhabit the space between chapters.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: No one is waiting on the other side with a stopwatch.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: When you're ready, let your eyes open, still in the doorway, still exactly where you're supposed to be, still whole.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: Before you go, if the show has been a steady companion for you lately, a quick review or sharing it with someone in your life genuinely helps more people find their way here, especially in the harder in-between seasons.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for being part of this.
