Sharing The Middle

Certified Product Launch and Operations Specialist, Christina Vanacore, discusses her journey through infertility and the lessons she learned during that difficult middle.

In this episode, I speak with Christina Vanacore, a certified product launch and operations specialist, about her journey through infertility and how the middle of difficult situations is where growth and lessons happen. Christina shares her personal journey of going through five years of infertility before having her miracle baby, and how the struggle changed her and brought her closer to her husband. We also discuss the benefit of endings and how sometimes it takes looking back to realize the lessons learned during the middle.

We touch upon the difficulties of the IVF process, including the pain and stress of ovulation testing and hormone treatments, and the importance of being open with friends for support during fertility treatments.

Despite the challenges she faced, Christina ultimately found value in the challenges and was grateful for the support of her loved ones. Her journey through infertility was difficult and painful, but her story is one of hope and perseverance. Tune in to hear more about Christina's journey through infertility and her insights on the messy middles of life.

In this mini episode, I talk about my struggles with balancing productivity and inspiration. I discuss how I'm trying to figure out where inspiration, productivity, and value meet. I also share advice on how to balance work and family responsibilities. My husband Joe joins me to offer his perspective on the topic. We discuss how communication is key in maintaining work-life balance and how to prioritize tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. I also share my recent loves, including crocheting and the Loop earplugs, which have helped with my sensory issues. Overall, it's a lighthearted episode that offers valuable insights into the struggles of balancing different aspects of life.

In this podcast, I had a conversation with Jamie Campanella about the importance of embracing the middle stage of progress towards our goals. Jamiee shares her personal experience of being stuck in the middle of her business journey, experiencing burnout and losing sight of work-life balance after having her second child. However, going through that struggle and burnout helped her get to the other side. We touch on the need to balance work and personal life as a parent, acknowledging that to achieve a balance, one needs to make a conscious choice to prioritize self-care and adjust plans based on changing circumstances. Calendaring is highlighted as a useful tool to keep oneself organized and prioritize time in alignment with intentions.

I am so excited to chat with Lee Friedman of Mango Tree Travel. You’ll be just as amazed as me to hear all that Lee does as a lawyer, mom, and entrepreneur. As a bad traveler, I am in awe of all that she has done and she helps me realize that my bad traveling actually has so much to do with my relationship with the middle.

In this podcast episode, I interview Christine Brown, a certified child sleep consultant and founder of Bella Luna Family. Christine shares her personal journey of how she became interested in sleep and ultimately founded her business. She recounts the difficult middle she experienced as a working mother of twins who were not sleeping well, and how she ultimately sleep trained them and became passionate about helping other families. Christine also discusses her experience working in a high-pressure corporate environment and the challenges of balancing her full-time job, growing her business, and raising her children. She shares how she prayed for a layoff and ultimately got one, which allowed her to focus on her business full time. We also discuss the importance of going through the middle moments in life and the personal growth that can come from them.

I'm super excited to share with you the final episode of our "Women Who Made Me" series, where I was joined by my mother and three sisters to talk about motherhood.

We talked about the tough parts like watching our children make poor decisions and dealing with their health struggles, as well as the challenges of worrying about their mental health and school, and how our illnesses can affect our abilities as mothers. We discussed documenting memories to look back on and giving information instead of advice, and advised doing everything with a good heart. We ended the conversation by talking about the importance of forgiving oneself for making mistakes and doing what is morally right.

It was a great conversation, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it!

In this mini-episode of Sharing The Mddl, I want to chat with you about imposter syndrome and failure. I had a realization that I couldn't write about being an imposter because I wasn’t even good enough to be an imposter - I was a straight up failure. I share some of my past experiences as an overachiever, how I've felt like I wasn't good enough to be in certain professional situations, and how The Mddl is teaching me to learn from failure.

Then, in the Advice From The Mddl, I share some advice on how to deal with imposter syndrome. My tips include acknowledging and accepting the feeling, reframing negative thoughts, and seeking support from others. I hope it can help you!

To wrap up, I want to share my Lacey Loves with you. I'm currently loving Human Design, Pop Culture, and Wedge Pillows. Let me know if you've tried any of them out!
