    Middle

    Let's revisit a past word...The middle is often the hardest place to be—caught between where you’ve been and where you want to go. It’s a space that can feel stagnant, uncertain, and even overwhelming. But what if the middle holds more than we realize? In this episode of Simply Words, Vicki and Ebony delve into the beauty and complexity of the middle. Together, they explore how this in-between space can be fertile ground for lessons, growth, and transformation. Instead of rushing through, what if we embraced the middle as a season of purpose and discovery? Join us as we unpack the meaning of being in the middle and share insights on how to find strength, clarity, and meaning in life’s transitional moments. Because sometimes, the middle is where the wonder happens.

    Friday

    We all have a relationship with Friday. It’s the countdown, the relief, the “we made it.” But have you ever stopped to think about what that really says about how we’re living the rest of our week? In this episode of Simply Words, we talk about Friday from a few different perspectives: how we experienced it growing up, how it shows up in our work lives, and what it means on a deeper level. And somewhere along the way, we ask ourselves: Are we using Friday as something to look forward to… or something to escape to?
