Manuel, this was beautifully done. Thank you for writing it from the transition, not just about it.
I really resonated with the part about “bridge identities.” After losing both my role and the life it was built around, I had to rebuild from the ashes—slowly, awkwardly, and without a title to hide behind.
You’re right: the discomfort doesn’t go away, but accepting it creates space. Space for rhythm. Space for rediscovery. Space for truth.
This post didn’t just resonate—it reminded me I’m not the only one learning how to live untitled.
Clarifying your values is a great tool
Really enjoyed reading this Manuel
Thank you, Stuart 💪

Thank you for that.
Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your story, Alexandra.
Transitions are indeed a journey of learning and self-discovery.
Looking back, I would not change a thing tbh :)
Sending you good vibes 🌻
