Sharing The Middle

In this episode, I'm going off-script and sharing some personal updates. I apologize for not having the usual episodes out, but life has been a whirlwind lately. We've just moved into a new house, and let me tell you, it's been both exciting and anxiety-inducing. But hey, I've managed to hang a TV by myself, and it hasn't fallen yet!

Speaking of change, I've been experiencing some racing thoughts that I can't seem to shake. Randomly, Travis Kelce, the football player, keeps popping into my head. It's the strangest thing! But I'm learning to embrace the messiness of life, and sometimes that means sharing the weird thoughts that occupy my mind.

On a brighter note, our new house is amazing! It has a bathroom connected to my room (luxury, right?), a closet where I can actually see my clothes, and it's so quiet here. I don't even hear a peep from the neighbors. Plus, Joe now has a shorter commute, which is a win for all of us.

As for the future of "Sharing in the Mddl," I'm going to loosen up a bit on the release schedule and embrace a more flexible approach. I still want to have conversations with interesting people about topics that relate to the middle, like apologizing and family dynamics. So stay tuned for more messy, fun, and insightful episodes!

In this mini-episode, I'm switching things up a bit and sharing more about my writing process and the challenges of being in the messy middle of life. With my family going through a big change, including a move and my husband's job switch, I'm feeling overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with everything. On top of it all, my chronic illness makes it difficult to do even simple tasks like brushing teeth and light painting. But I'm learning to embrace the messy middle and take things one step at a time.

If you're going through a difficult time or feeling stuck in the middle, I hope this episode helps you feel seen and heard. And if you have any feedback or thoughts on the show, I'd love to hear from you!

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Tresa Edmunds, the creative visionary of Body Loyalty, on my podcast. We talked about embracing our bodies, especially when we're dealing with disabilities and trauma. It was such an eye-opening conversation, and I'm excited to share some of Tresa's insights with you.

Tresa emphasized the importance of viewing our bodies as human experiences, rather than status objects. She pointed out that we often use our bodies to achieve status and material goods, without considering our own needs. Instead, we need to prioritize our bodies and treat ourselves like human beings.

During our conversation, Tresa also touched on the role of systems of oppression in our relationship with our bodies. She highlighted the impact of colonialism, slavery, and capitalism on our views of ourselves and our bodies. By acknowledging these systems and their effects, we can start to undo the harmful conditioning we've received.

Overall, I found Tresa's insights to be thoughtful and inspiring. If you're interested in learning more about Body Loyalty and Tresa's work, check out the podcast episode on our website.

In this episode of my podcast, I talk with Sadie Higgins, a recovering entrepreneur, about the beauty of the messy middle of life. Sadie shares her personal journey of going through a tough time and how that helped her realize the importance of having tools to retrain the nervous system. We also discuss the concept of grief as healing and the power of community in getting through difficult times. It's not always perfect, but with the right mindset and tools, we can navigate the middle and come out stronger on the other side.

Sadie is a recovering entrepreneur and is currently a writer, interviewer, and public speaker. She brings honesty and humor to her craft and can be found listening to or creating music at any given moment of the day. And dancing poorly.
