Podcasts about messy middle

In today's episode, I sit down with Josh Trent, founder of the Wellness and Wisdom Podcast and creator of the Life Method, who brings a decade of wisdom on identity transformation and building from wholeness. We dive into why identity transformation matters more than marketing tactics, the three phases of entrepreneurial growth (and why most skip the most important one), and the garden metaphor that will change how you approach your inner work. Josh brings raw honesty and practical wisdom on why there are no shortcuts, how to embrace the messy middle, and why people buy your energy, not your information. You don't want to miss this one.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what growth actually feels like — not the highlight reel version, but the real, uncomfortable, messy middle we all have to move through. I call it the river of misery — the space between who you've been and who you're becoming. I walk you through the four phases of growth: Awareness & Fear – that moment you realize you want more and it scares the hell out of you. Test, Learn & Create – where you start trying things, failing, learning, and doing it again. Discover & Play – when you start trusting yourself and experimenting more freely. Understanding & Becoming – when your new identity starts to feel real. This episode is your reminder that discomfort doesn't mean you're off track — it means you're evolving.

Awareness often brings fear, but it's the start of transformation. The “river of misery” is where real change happens. Discomfort = progress. Self-awareness is your best tool in the hard parts. Learn to respond to your inner critic, not obey it. Self-trust is built in the middle, not at the finish line. The goal isn't to skip discomfort, it's to move through it. Growth feels like chaos before it feels like clarity. You're not lost — you're becoming.

Menopause can scramble your mood, planning, memory, and appetite cues, especially if you're living with ADHD.  My guest this week is Diana Reid, RD and we dive into how shifting estrogen affects dopamine in the brain and why that can make meal planning feel impossible, grocery stores overwhelming, and evenings vulnerable to emotional hunger and snacking. Together, we map the hidden steps that turn “what's for dinner?” into a 30-step project and show how to lower the cognitive load and decision fatigue. Think forecasts instead of rigid schedules, two to three-day meal windows, and a “nutrition capsule wardrobe” you can refresh monthly for novelty. We also get real about dopamine seeking, emotional hunger, and the link between ADHD and binge patterns. The antidote isn't restriction, it's regulation and pleasure. Learn how to prevent primal hunger with predictable protein and fiber, add texture and heat for sensory satisfaction, and plan pleasure on purpose! If this conversation helps you feel seen, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more midlife listeners can find food freedom and confidence. Learn more about Diana at www.theglobaldietitian.com and on Instagram at theglobalrd.Like what you learned?

Christina Tosi built an iconic dessert empire on sugar, grit, and a relentless drive to bring joy. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with the award-winning chef and founder behind Milk Bar to talk about the parts of her story you don't always see.  You may know Christina as the mastermind behind cereal milk or from her time on MasterChef, but what stuck with me was her honesty about the chaos of building something from scratch—and the even harder part of staying in it once the buzz dies down. We also talk about staying creative under pressure, what it feels like to be copied without credit, and why Christina still finds joy in baking after all these years.

Hello my loves.This episode is a real one. I've been in what I call “the messy middle” — that tender, uncomfortable space between endings and beginnings and I wanted to sit down and share honestly about what this season has been teaching me.As I close the Lauren of Love Podcast chapter and prepare to birth our next evolution, The World Needs Your Medicine, I've been feeling everything… grief, excitement, surrender, and so much growth.In this episode, I talk about what it means to hold compassion for yourself when you're in transition, how to navigate the energy of expansion and contraction, and why learning to put yourself first is actually a powerful act of leadership.I also share the story of a shamanic dream that helped me understand what this season is really about — letting go of the old identities, the “hard worker” story, and the need to prove my worth… so I can lead from peace, devotion, and trust.If you're walking through your own in-between right now, I hope this conversation helps you feel seen and supported. You're not broken. You're becoming.Inside this episode, we explore:What it means to live through “the messy middle”The energetic dance of expansion and contractionReleasing the identity of the hard workerShifting from force and hustle into trust and devotionThe power of conscious perspective and gratitudeWhy slowing down is sometimes the most successful thing you can doIf this conversation speaks to your heart, I'd love to have you join me for my free 5-day Limitless Wealth series, starting October 20th.It's a deep dive into the energetic and spiritual principles I share inside Wild Wealthy Feminine — and it's completely free.✨ Sign up at laurenoflove.com/limitlessAnd if you're ready to expand into a new relationship with your business, money, and leadership, Wild Wealthy Feminine is open for enrollment now.✨ Sign up at ⁠laurenoflove.com/wild

We often talk about hope as something beautiful — a light that helps us keep going when things are hard.Yet there's a moment when hope shifts from fuel to delay, and that same light becomes a flashlight we point away from what needs our attention.We keep hoping they'll change. That work will calm down. That time will fix it.We keep waiting, praying, manifesting…Days turn into months, and our nervous system learns avoidance disguised as optimism.That's when hope stops healing — and starts holding us in place.The truth is, a lot of times we use hope as a way to avoid responsibility — hoping someone else will change, that things will magically get better, or that time alone will heal.That's what I call toxic hope.And toxic hope is one of the biggest reasons for suffering in this world.In this week's episode of Heal Your Relationships, I'm unpacking what happens when hope turns from a force of healing into a form of denial — and how to step into what I call the messy middle:the real, uncomfortable, deeply human space where true healing begins.You'll hear:The subtle difference between healthy hope and toxic hopeHow avoidance and fear disguise themselves as faithWhat “the messy middle” actually looks like — and why it's where transformation really happensA personal story from my own family that changed how I see hope foreverIf you've been waiting for a sign to stop waiting — this is it.Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

Today's episode is all about what it really means to integrate healing — the part most people skip over because it's not flashy, linear, or fast. It's where the body begins to reorganize itself after long periods of stress or depletion, and where so many get stuck thinking something's gone wrong when, in truth, deep repair is underway.I share what I've noticed in my own journey after reviewing my latest hair test results — how the nervous system recalibrates once it no longer has to brace for survival, and how this shift changes everything about how the body digests, absorbs, and restores. We talk about why most protocols don't work long-term: because they try to force change on a system that's still in defense mode.This episode explores what happens when nourishment finally becomes safe to receive — when your body starts trusting that minerals, microbes, and energy can circulate freely again. It's a conversation about regulation, resilience, and the real pace of healing — one that can't be rushed or micromanaged, only tended.If you've been in the thick of recalibrating your health or feel like your body's not responding the way you hoped, this episode will help you see that there's a deeper rhythm at play. Healing is not about doing more — it's about restoring flow and safety from the inside out.Learn more through the link below about my Minerals & Microbes package, designed to help you gently rebuild your foundation without the overwhelm of a big clinical protocol — because your body doesn't need to be forced; it just needs to feel safe enough to function again.

You sit at your laptop. The email draft to a potential client is open. The cursor blinks. But you freeze. You tell yourself you'll come back to it later. But “later” keeps turning into someday, maybe, never. That's not procrastination. That's success avoidance. In this week's episode of Breadwinning Business Women, I'm breaking down how fear, doubt, and discomfort quietly sabotage your next level and how to stop letting emotions block your income. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to build your emotional edge—the skill that separates stuck entrepreneurs from those who scale. Here's what we're getting into:

I recently started playing Padel...And like with all my new hobbies, I enjoy getting good gear.So after some research, I treated myself to a racket from the higher end of the market.Now, when I'm on the court playing and lose, I could (might) complain that my racket sucks. That it was "false advertising" because all the specs indicate that this is almost an unbeatable racket.But let's be honest, we both know that's probably not the case. It's far more likely that I just don't yet know how to use this new "tool" to its fullest potential.You may be surprised to learn that this is strikingly similar to what happens in many organizations.They invest in building a service design capability, but after a while, they complain that it's not delivering the game-changing results they hoped for.So, does service design suck?Well, according to the research our guest Giles Colborne has done, the answer is a definitive no. In fact, he found that companies with high design maturity grow at 9x times(!) the pace of everyone else.The problem, as Giles argues, isn't the tool. It's the interface between the design team and the rest of the business.It's like spending a small fortune on that pro-level racket, only to hold it upside down in the wrong hand, and then wonder why you're not winning any games.When organizations bring in service design without creating the right conditions for success, they end up frustrated and disillusioned.So, what can we do about it? The go-to response I often see in our field is that we tend to shout louder, to do a "roadshow" and "educate" the business on our value. But Giles explains why this is actually often the least effective approach.That's why in this episode, we explore how we can stop explaining the tool and start changing the way our organizations use it, making it easier for them to unlock its full potential.What's great about this is that it helps shift the perception of service design from an afterthought, a "nice-to-have" for keeping customers happy, to an engine for growth. And once that clicks, it becomes a whole different game. Now, I'm just hoping the same will be true for my padel skills...Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact.Be well,~ Marc--- [ 1.

Jitske Kramer is a corporate anthropologist, an inspiring speaker, entrepreneur founder of HumanDimensions, and author of the book, “Tricky Times: Navigating The Messy Middle of Change” in which she deciphers the complexities of transition and transformation. Mike Petrusky asks Jitske about the concept of liminality, which refers to the transitional phase during change, where old ways no longer apply, but the new ways are not yet clear. This phase is characterized by uncertainty, anxiety, and the potential for creative solutions, so they discuss how cultures are created through the processes of interaction and decision-making and explore why understanding these processes can help leaders influence and guide cultural shifts within organizations. Jitske believes that the physical layout of workplaces and environments reflects the cultural narrative and values of an organization and facility management leaders can influence that narrative by rearranging the physical world. Mike and Jitske discuss the value of effective communication and offer the practical advice and inspiration you will need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

Dette er ikke den polerte "jeg har skjønt det hele"-episoden du kanskje forventer. Dette er meg på 20% – rå, ekte, og midt i det messy middle.Etter to uker i et mørkt sted etter å ha brukket armen, innså jeg at jeg hadde brukt alle wellness-verktøyene mine feil – for å tåle stress i stedet for å gå dypere og bli nysgjerrig. I denne dypt sårbare episoden pakker jeg ut hva det egentlig betyr å være gründer: måle-fellen, å besvime av å ikke spise, å vise meg som "20%" i en coaching-sesjon og be en kunde om hjelp, og hvorfor businessen min vokser i dybde i år i stedet for omsetning.Hvis du kom til gründerskap for frihet og penger, handler denne episoden om hvorfor du blir: personlig vekst, å bryte dine egne mønstre, og den radikale tillatelsen til å være fullt ut menneske på jobb. Jeg deler innsikter fra Gabor Matés traumearbeid og normaliserer at livet har sesonger – det er ikke alltid lett, og det er faktisk poenget.Dette er for deg som er i det messy middle. Hvis du er lei av å jage følgertall og omsetning mens du føler deg tom innvendig. Hvis du trenger tillatelse til å bryte sammen, bruke det som curriculum, og fortsatt vise deg. Fordi gründerskap er hardt – men det er en annen type hardt enn en 9-16 jobb. Og den forskjellen? Det er alt.- https://www.grysinding.no/blog/messy-middle-slutt-a-vente-pa-at-alt-skal-bli-lett- Mental styrketrening for gründere og for deg som vil mer: https://www.grysinding.no/mentaltrening - Start din egen business - 10 enkle steg!: https://www.grysinding.no/startegenbusiness - Chat med meg her: https://m.me/gry.sinding - Følg meg på Instastories her: https://www.instagram.com/stories/grysinding/ Hosted on Acast.

Healing from childhood trauma isn't a straight line. There's a very messy middle. In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we explore what that messy middle really looks like for daughters of narcissistic or emotionally limited mothers.We'll talk about:Regret in healing: Why it shows up, why it feels like such a gut punch, and how to reframe regret as a sign of growth instead of failure.Relationships under pressure: How marriage, friendships, and partnerships can feel like they're combusting when one person begins to heal.The nervous system's role:  Why trauma brain makes joy feel unsafe, why peace is often the real goal, and why partners may misinterpret trauma responses as rejection or complaint.The shock of change: How the people we chose in our fawning, conflict-avoiding, or numbed-out selves often feel destabilized when we start showing up differently.Getting practical: From naming trauma brain in real time, to practicing repair, to re-choosing relationships with new self-awareness.This conversation will help you understand why healing feels so raw, why regret can actually be a milestone, and how to navigate the bumps in relationships with clarity and compassion.Whether you're in the thick of regret, feeling misunderstood by your partner, or noticing how your healing is shaking up your closest connections, this episode will give you language, validation, and tools for the journey.Resources & Next StepsLearn more about the Mayhem Daughters community: MayhemDaughters.com.

Leadership doesn't pause for grief, betrayal, or personal storms. In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Chanie sits down with Beth Cannon to talk about what it means to lead when life unravels. From walking through the terminal illness of a loved one, to staff exits and leadership mistakes, Beth shares her “discomfort zone” season and the messy middle of showing up for her people while falling apart inside.This episode is not about perfection, it's about presence. It's about choosing honesty over image, showing up when you don't have it all together, and finding systems and rhythms that carry your school (and your soul) through seasons of chaos.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why “waiting until everything is perfect” is leadership avoidanceHow to keep showing up when grief and business crises collideThe difference between accountability and ownership in staff leadershipWhy leaders must choose honesty over image if they want trust and culture to holdHow to find outer-circle people who can lead you through your own foKey InsightsCulture isn't built on polish. It's built on consistency, clarity, and shared standards.Grief and leadership can coexist. You can hold heartbreak in one hand and still lead with purpose in the other.Leadership is a mirror. Staff accountability gaps often expose where owners haven't built the right rhythms.You don't wait for perfect conditions. Growth happens in the middle of the storm, not after it passes.Memorable Quotes“I wasn't replacing a role. I was reacting to a wound.” – Beth Cannon“You have to choose honesty over image, because the day when everything is perfect doesn't exist.” – Beth Cannon“Schools don't need leaders who wait for the fog to clear. They need leaders who keep walking.” – Chanie WilschanskiWhy This Matters for School LeadersStops the cycle of waiting for perfect conditions before leadingModels vulnerability without abdicating responsibilityBuilds staff trust through honesty and accountability, not polishAnchors leaders in rhythms that hold during grief, betrayal, or transitionResources & Next StepsReflect: Where are you waiting for things to “settle” before you lead?Revisit your staff accountability systems: Are they true ownership, or excuses and follow-up cycles?Connect with Beth Cannon: bethcannonspeaks.com | Instagram & Facebook: @bethcannonspeaks

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Becca Eve Young—former corporate strategist turned author and transformational coach—about navigating burnout, dismantling the “societal script,” and rebuilding a life anchored in intuition. Becca shares how losing the job, marriage, and familiar identity in quick succession became the opening to stillness, journaling, meditation, and a more truthful version of success. If you're numb from overachieving or stuck in roles that don't fit, this conversation offers a clear, grounded path: turn down the noise, listen in, take one aligned step, then another. SEO: burnout recovery, messy middle, reinvention, intuition, mindset, mental health, transformation, simplicity, purpose, Becca Eve Young, Healthy Mind Healthy Life. About the Guest  : Becca Eve Young is a storyteller and transformational coach. Her debut book, It's Gonna Get Messy, chronicles the honest, unpolished process of breaking from convention and choosing a soul-led life. Key Takeaways : Burnout isn't just “tired”; it's a collapse of self—numbing, going through motions, ignoring intuition. “Societal scripts” sell one path (title, house, image). Eight billion unique lives need eight billion scripts. Reinvention isn't a montage; it's quiet repetition: sit in silence, journal, meditate, notice what truly feels right, and say no without guilt. Small acts of alignment, done daily, loosen the hold of “shoulds” and rebuild inner authority. Turning off external programming (feeds, media, expectations) amplifies your inner signal. Loss (career, relationship, plans) can crack you open; healing isn't “back to before,” it's becoming more whole. Success can be far simpler than portrayed—less performance, more presence. Create a personal script: choose structure that supports your truth instead of adopting one that distorts it. Community response often respects authenticity over accolades; your choice to live honestly gives others permission to do the same. Practical starting points: schedule 10–15 minutes of silence daily, capture one honest page in a journal, identify one “obligation yes” to replace with a values-based no this week.

In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we're talking about something every daughter eventually faces on the healing journey: the messy middle.You've moved beyond survival mode: less hypervigilance, fewer shutdowns but freedom and peace still feel out of reach. Instead, you're navigating grief, anger, second-guessing, perfectionism, and the uncomfortable work of slowing down. It's confusing, frustrating, and messy. And yet…it's where the deepest growth happens.Together we'll explore:-Why grief and anger are essential parts of healing, not setbacks.-How second-guessing shows up in the messy middle (and what to do about it).-What it means to value rest, quiet, and connection without chaos.-Practical ways to hold both grief and light through “Yes, And.”-How to stop picking up every single thought trauma brain throws your way.All of the questions in this episode came directly from daughters inside the Mayhem Daughters community. If you want to have your own questions answered, hear from other daughters about their experiences, and find a safe, trauma-informed space to heal, visit MayhemDaughters.comYou are not alone in this messy middle. Let's walk it together.

What if the very thing you're trying to hide, the messy middle, the “I don't have it all figured out yet” part of you, was actually your greatest superpower?Today's guest, Whitney Page, is here to remind us that being a perpetual work in progress isn't something to fix, it's something to embrace. Whitney is a powerful speaker, facilitator, and the founder of A Human Experience, known for simplifying complex ideas into practical tools, creating safe spaces that feel truly real (not performative), and showing us that we can lead and grow while still being deeply human.In this episode, we explore: What it really means to call yourself a perpetual work in progress The myth of “arrival” and why you don't have to have it all figured out to lead or teach Simple tools that make growth practical (instead of overwhelming) How to create spaces where people feel safe enough to exhale and be fully themselves Reimagining possibility in real time, even when life feels messy or uncertainIf you've ever felt pressure to have all the answers before stepping into your purpose, this conversation will give you permission to show up exactly as you are, human, imperfect, and in progress. Connect with Whitney Page:WebsiteInstagramFacebook

What happens when a hotel developer moves from building Hampton Inns to creating lifestyle hotels with fire pits and Michelin-starred restaurants?Today's guest is a returning guest, Stephen Wendell, Co-Founder and CEO of Mountain Shore Properties. They explore the shift from select-service properties to luxury and lifestyle hotels, examining the business dynamics and guest experiences that differentiate these segments. Steven shares insights on building independent lifestyle hotels, dealing with construction challenges, financing, and the pivotal role of major brands and creative freedom. They also discuss the evolving demands of younger travelers and the potential for lifestyle hotels to serve as cultural hubs. The conversation touches on financing strategies, the impact of current economic conditions, and the balance between guest experience and profitability.Takeaways: The most successful hospitality projects prioritize unique, memorable experiences for guests, which can lead to long-term loyalty and word-of-mouth growth.Each project is a learning opportunity. Apply lessons from past mistakes to improve future outcomes and avoid repeating errors.Consider a mix of select service and lifestyle/boutique properties to balance stability with higher-reward opportunities.Affiliation with major brands can make financing easier and provide valuable marketing/distribution support, but weigh the costs and benefits carefully.The best hotels become hubs for both guests and locals. Create spaces and experiences that attract both groups.Younger travelers value experiences over points. Offer unique, local collaborations and experiences to attract and retain this demographic.Hospitality is a long-term business. Set expectations with investors and partners accordingly, and operate with a long-term mindset.Quote of the Show:“Some people quit in the messy middle.
