Join Tristen Stawicki for a profoundly honest conversation with Sandy Davis—Fractional COO, Founder of Elevate Operations Advisory, and the voice behind the Elevate Within platform. This episode dives deep into The 'Messy Middle': Identity Shifts, Healing, and Reinvention.

Sandy shares her powerful journey of rebuilding her life and business from the inside out after navigating a season of profound loss, burnout, corporate exhaustion, and a major life transition in her 50s. She created Elevate Within as the safe space she once needed, where women can tell the truth about what it really takes to start over, rediscover themselves, navigate grief and uncertainty, and step into the next version of their lives with honesty and courage. Learn why Sandy believes true growth should never require self-abandonment.

In this episode, we explore:

• What led Sandy to create the resonant community of Elevate Within.
• Whether we cycle through the "messy middle" as part of energetic upgrades or if it is a specific time in life.
• Tactics for building a company from a deeply nurtured, grounded place.
