A love letter to those in the messy middle and feeling hard feelings. In this episode we discuss the challenges of navigating uncertainty and uncomfortable emotions, termed "the messy middle." Lauren shares her personal experiences of grief, chaos, and difficulty focusing, attributing these to significant life changes. We hope you take away the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions rather than avoiding them. Tap in, fam! You won't regret it.
