014 Living in the GAP — Jaslyn Hall

Jaslyn Hall woke up one morning and thought, “That’s it.” Not a breakdown . . . a breakthrough. In this episode, you’ll hear Jaslyn’s deceptively simple idea from her TEDx talk, “Living in the Gap”, the space between where you are now and what you want next. If you’ve been feeling restless, stuck, or oddly impatient for the next chapter to hurry up, this conversation will help you slow the mental noise and find a calmer, more powerful way forward. SOUNDBITES [1:41] The “bing” moment when you wake up and realise you’re done . . . and how to navigate the in-between space before the next chapter is clear. [2:28] Defining the gap as the space between “not this” and “not yet” . . . and why it is an active place to grow, notice, and calm the mind. [3:29] How rushing toward the future can steal the present . . . and how to hold dreams without turning them into frustration or urgency. [4:46] How a TEDx talk actually happens . . . from idea to coach to choosing the right platform. [5:27] What makes TEDx different from most speaking gigs . . . strict structure, rehearsed delivery, and submitting the talk in advance. [6:08] Why “living in the gap” matters at work . . . especially for people under stress, running on autopilot, or feeling unseen while their dreams stall. [6:40] Using wellness days to reset perspective . . . and how reflective prompts and practical ideas help people access and stay in the GAP. [7:29] What it looks like in real life when someone seems unshakeably positive . . . and the mindset behind “I’m living in the GAP.” [8:46] Why the gap is not standing still . . . it’s growth in motion, not passive waiting, and not a meditation-only approach. [9:35] The power of general affirmations . . . how abundance thinking supports momentum without obsessing over a single outcome. [11:55] “It’s about the journey” . . . why that line feels too thin, and how the gap is a deliberate pause inside the rat race. [12:46] The GAP as both metaphysical and practical . . . a space for self-reflection and real action that reshapes what happens next. [14:45] Where to learn more and what’s next . . . the website link, the upcoming book, and the invitation to keep moving forward with intention.
