The Space Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming

Building the BRIDGE

This book is a reflective, grounding guide for nurses, healthcare professionals, and purpose-driven individuals navigating transition, uncertainty, and growth. Blending lived experience and professional insight, Dr. Jose Arnold Tariga explores the in-between spaces of change, where identity shifts, confidence grows quietly, and progress happens before it’s visible. Through the BRIDGE framework, you’ll learn how to evolve your professional identity without losing yourself, build values-based confidence, lead with ethical clarity, and choose sustainability, agency, and self-trust over burnout.
Written especially for nurses and healthcare leaders—but meaningful for anyone in transition—this book is an invitation to grow without erasing who you’ve been.
