In today’s episode of Message in the Middle, I’m joined by the one and only Steve Gamlin, speaker, author, storyteller, vision-board expert, and “The Motivational Firewood® Guy.” If you’ve ever felt stuck in the middle of your life, unsure of your next step, or wondering if you’re too late to dream something new, this conversation will remind you just how much is still possible.

Steve shares how his own twists and turns, rock bottom moments included, led him to a life built on service, intention, and the simple-but-powerful daily practice of showing up. We talk about why vision boards actually work, how to move from wishing to action, and how to rebuild confidence when life has knocked you down more than once.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why midlife can be the moment for redefining your goals and identity
• How visualization really works
• What to do when you feel paralyzed by overwhelm or “starting over syndrome”
• How small, imperfect actions build long-term transformation
• Why self-worth is tied to how we talk to ourselves
• The power of service, gratitude, and paying attention to what’s going right
• Practical steps you can take today to move forward

If you’re craving hope, direction, or a gentle nudge, this episode will speak right to the middle of your life and your heart.
