I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re stuck in the thick of things, swamped, strung out, and nowhere near the finish line, this one's for you.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing what it’s like to live through the messy middle. That foggy, frustrating stretch where you’ve started something, maybe a business, a healing journey, or just a new season of life, and suddenly it feels like quicksand. I open up about my own in-between: the overwork, the overwhelm, and the ridiculous list of deliverables that made me question my entire life. Not even kidding.

But I also share what’s helping me find solid ground. From dance parties and dopamine deficits to teeny tiny micro-milestones, I talk through the truths I’m clinging to while I try to untangle what comes next. Because sometimes the transformation happens quietly, while you're just trying to stay afloat.

Topics Covered:

• Why the middle of a journey feels so disorienting
• A brutally honest breakdown of my workload from March to July
• The moment I realized I wasn’t just tired, I was drowning
• Why long-term client contracts can be both a gift and a grind
• My deep, desperate longing for an actual break
• Using music, movement, and margaritas to shift stagnant energy
• Practical ways to survive, and even embrace, the messy middle
• The quiet, invisible magic of becoming who you’re meant to be
