  1. Grief Comes in Many Forms

    19H AGO

    Grief Comes in Many Forms

    Grief is something we all experience, yet no two people carry it the same way. In this episode, I sit with the many forms of grief not just the kind that comes with death, but the quieter kinds too. The grief of infertility, of friendships ending, of futures we imagined but never arrived, and of versions of ourselves that no longer exist. This episode is personal, tender, and real. I share my own experiences with loss, the exhaustion grief leaves behind, and the way it can quietly live in our bodies even when we don’t realize it. We talk about how grief doesn’t follow rules, timelines, or instructions and how every way you grieve is valid. This episode is dedicated to my stepdad, Frank, my stepmom, Darlene, and to everyone who is sitting in grief alongside me. You are not alone. You don’t have to rush healing. And you don’t have to carry it quietly. Come sit with me in the messy middle and let’s get through this together.

  2. The Version of Me I Thought I'd Be.

    The Version of Me I Thought I'd Be.

    We all had an idea of who we’d be by now.The life. The timeline. The confidence. In this episode of The Middle of Everything, we’re talking about the version of ourselves we once imagined and what it feels like when real life doesn’t quite line up. From old dreams to quiet disappointments, this episode explores letting go of expectations and learning to make peace with where you are. Because being “in the middle” doesn’t mean you’re behind. It just means you’re still becoming. Dreams. Expectations. Reality.

    When Friendships Don't Come With Breakup Texts.

    Friendships are weird because no one teaches you how they end. There’s no official breakup text, no rulebook, no “hey, it’s been real.”Sometimes someone just stops showing up… and you’re left wondering if you missed the moment it all changed. This episode is for anyone who’s ever been ghosted by a friend, outgrown someone, or felt the quiet grief of a friendship fading out.

    Human Connection

    In this episode, we’re talking about human connection — why it’s so important, why it’s so hard, and how to be honest without being harsh. From modern loneliness to meaningful conversations, this is a real one. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly connecting or just surviving small talk, you’re not alone.
