There’s a space nobody talks about—the one after the breakup but before the healing. You’re not checking their page every day anymore, but they still live in your mind rent-free. You’re not going back, but you’re also not quite free either.In this episode of The Messy Middle Podcast 🎙️, we sit with the confusing, in-between space of heartbreak—the part where the crying is done but the ache hasn’t left. It’s the space of lingering feelings, unfinished closure, and the slow, quiet work of letting go.You’ll hear: • Why moving on is rarely a straight line • The difference between missing a person and missing how you felt • How grief after love shows up in layers, long after the breakup • Why staying gone—even when you’re not “over it”—is an act of strengthIf you’ve ever felt stuck between hurting and healing, this conversation is for you.

Some friendships don’t end. They just fade. The texts get shorter. The laughs feel forced. The connection starts to feel more like obligation than closeness. In this episode, we sit with the in-between of a friendship that’s still technically alive—but no longer thriving. This is for the woman who doesn’t have the words for it, but knows the energy has shifted.

Everyone says that if you love what you do, it shouldn’t feel like work. But the truth is, even meaningful work can drain you. In this episode, we sit with the uncomfortable middle—when your purpose starts to feel like pressure, and the thing you once felt called to is quietly wearing you down.

What do you do when people tell you to stick it out with toxic family members—because “family is everything”—but your spirit knows you need distance? This episode holds space for that painful middle ground: the guilt, the grief, and the radical choice to protect your peace even if it means walking away.

You’ve done the work. You’ve journaled, reflected, and outgrown the chaos—but you still don’t feel like you’ve “arrived.” This episode is for anyone who’s stuck in that in-between space: where stability isn’t really a thing yet, but neither is success. “In Progress” holds space for the exhaustion that comes with constant self-work and reminds you that growth doesn’t have to be loud, shiny, or perfect to be real.
