We Are All in the In-Between

The Liminal Space Between Research and Life (and Translating Such)

We are all in the In-Between. The patriarchy is falling. It doesn't look like it. It looks like destruction. People are hurting. But I’m telling you—it’s a current. I feel it.

And I’m not the only one.

There’s this space—this liminal, shape-shifting space—where we know things. Before they’re published. Before they’re peer-reviewed. Before they’re even fully formed.

But how do we get other people to know these things?
How do we make knowledge transferable—not just felt in the bones, but accessible on the page?

Let’s face it—the world is on fire.
Maybe not the whole world. Not all at once.
But for many of us, it might as well be.
Our systems are breaking.
Our nervous systems are fried.
The old ways aren’t working—and the new ways don’t have language yet.

That’s where research can help us.

Not to prove what we feel (because frankly, we already know),
but to meet it halfway.
To offer scaffolding, resonance, and reflection.
To allow access to what people are actually studying—and spoiler alert: it’s resonant, cool stuff—to the people who are already living it, but don’t know what it’s called.

Frankly, I live between the article and the field.
I’m well-versed—like a second cup of coffee poured just right—in how to read a study, run out the door, and try it in an equine session or incorporate it into supervision lickety split.

I’m going to call this liminal space:
Between the Data and the Dirt.

Between the part of our brain that asks “How?”
The feeling system in our brain that whispers, “Who will care?”
And the structure that eventually gets cited in APA format.

And I’ve finally landed on it.

I’m here to translate.

In this space, I’ll be unpacking peer-reviewed research with some poetic language (cause I love words with soul), deep thought, and a practitioner’s gut.
You don’t need a PhD to understand it.
You just need to have felt something the world hasn’t explained yet.

Let’s Name This Together

I’ve got a few possible names for this series. Want to help me choose?

1. We Are All the In-Between
   How We Know What We Know (and What the Research is Just Starting to Say)

2. Naming the In-Between
   Translating the Liminal into Something We Can Live By

3. Between the Data and the Dirt
   A Series About Research, Resonance, and Real-World Rhythm

Drop your vote in the comments or reply to this post—I’d love to hear what resonates with your in-between.

Next post: we dive into Equine Resonance and what emerging research says about emotional transfer, co-regulation, and that magic moment when a horse turns toward—or away from—you.

But for now, just breathe this in.
The in-between isn’t empty.

It’s where the future is whispering.

Cue the interlude.
