Caught in the Middle Introduction

Caught in the Middle with Alyssia Essig<hr>Welcome to Caught in the Middle, the podcast for women who are juggling all the things and wondering, “Is anyone else dealing with… this?”If you’re navigating big transitions — kids leaving (or coming back), parents aging, hormones raging, marriages shifting, careers reinventing, bodies changing, identities evolving — you’re in the right place, friend. This show is for the woman who feels like she’s living in the middle of something important… but also slightly chaotic, occasionally hilarious, and sometimes a full-on identity plot twist.I’m Alyssia Essig — mom of two grown daughters, wife, entrepreneur, real estate coach, and proud midlife woman who has lived enough life to know that the middle can be complicated… but also beautiful. I’ve been the career builder, the caregiver, the cheerleader, the fixer, the plate-spinner, the worrier, the boundary-setter (in progress), the dreamer, and the woman who walks into a room and forgets why she’s there. So trust me — you and I are already on the same page.This podcast is your place to exhale. A place to laugh, think, learn, and be reminded that you’re not behind — you’re becoming. You’re not losing yourself — you’re actually finding your next, wiser, bolder version. And you’re definitely not alone — millions of us are walking through the same middle chapters and trying to make sense of them with some grace… and sometimes a handful of dark chocolate.Every episode brings real conversations about real life:<ul><li>rediscovering who you are after years of being everything for everyone</li><li>navigating the physical, emotional, and hormonal roller coaster of midlife</li><li>building new habits, new identities, and new dreams</li><li>managing relationships — marriages, friendships, adult children, aging parents</li><li>creating a healthier body and a calmer mind</li><li>designing a career or business that actually fits the season you’re in</li><li>dealing with burnout, comparison, anxiety, and the pressure to “get it together”</li><li>learning how to rest, reconnect, and reimagine what you want next</li></ul>You’ll hear inspiring guest interviews, honest solo episodes, practical tools you can use immediately, and personal stories from my own life and coaching work. Some episodes will feel like therapy, some like coffee with your funniest friend, and some like a motivational kick in the leggings — the good kind, not the see-through ones.At its core, Caught in the Middle is about finding magic in the mess. It’s about honoring the woman you’ve been while boldly becoming who you’re meant to be next. It’s about dropping the judgment, tuning into your intuition, and giving yourself permission to want more — or want different — in this season of your life.If you’ve ever looked around and thought: “Is this normal?” “What is happening to my body?” “Why is everyone irritating me?” “Do I even want the same things anymore?” “Is it too late to start over?” …then you’ll feel at home here.Join me every other week for real talk, relatable stories, practical wisdom, and a reminder that the middle isn’t a crisis — it’s a crossroads. You’re not stuck. You’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re simply in the middle of becoming the woman you’re meant to be.Welcome to the middle — it’s where the magic begins.
