Navigating the Confusing Landscape of the Messy Middle Together

Have you ever experienced that phase in life where you're no longer where you used to be, but haven't yet reached your desired destination? That's the messy middle. It's the journey between "I think I'm ready" and "Wow, I didn't see that detour coming." If you're in this phase—dealing with career shifts, unexpected family events, or simply trying to remember where you left your glasses—you're not alone.

The messy middle is where the magic unfolds. It's the place where we let go of old habits, experiment with new ones, and sometimes find ourselves crying in the car while listening to uplifting podcasts. It's where we pivot, pause, and occasionally panic—but we persist. Because deep down, we understand that this chapter is molding us into the woman we were always meant to become.

Here’s what I’ve discovered during my own turbulent journey:

• Clarity doesn’t always adhere to a timeline. Sometimes you need to remain in uncertainty until clarity emerges.

• Progress isn’t straightforward. One moment you’re advancing a business, the next you’re searching “how to fix a printer that despises you.”

• Community is vital. Connecting with other women who understand—those who have been there, are still there, or are supporting you—is invaluable.

• 
  

So let’s discuss it. Let’s embrace the less glamorous aspects of growth. Let’s find humor in the chaos, allow ourselves to cry when necessary, and continue to support ourselves and each other.

Because the challenging phase isn’t a setback—it’s a period. And together, we’ll thrive through it.
