In The Middle Of All This

Eryn Foster

In The Middle Of All This is for anyone who started with less than they deserved, made more mistakes than they planned, and is still showing up anyway. This is not a highlight reel. It's not a seven step plan or a system built by someone who figured it all out years ago and wants to teach you how they did it. This is one honest person telling the truth about my life in real time. Still in the middle of the debt. Still in the middle of the healing. Still figuring out what the next chapter looks like. Honest conversations about faith, finances, creativity, and figuring life out one honest step

    S2E26 - The Cost of Not Trying

    I spent the whole weekend looking at two numbers on a screen. Not big numbers. Just two numbers sitting there waiting for me to click. And I couldn't do it. Not because I didn't have the money. Because clicking would make the thing real. If you've ever stood at the edge of a decision you already made and still couldn't move, this one is for you. Does the benefit outweigh the cost? Is what you want a nicety or a necessity? If you never ask, the answer will always be no.

    S2E25-It's Out: The Book, The Fear, and What Happens When You Finally Let Go

    My second book went live on Amazon this morning. Excited. Scared. Relieved. Scared mostly because this one is raw. It's not a strategy guide. It's the story. The honest account of a life that took the long way around. The debt. The faith. The father on the couch. The nightly prayer nobody knew about until I put it on a page. For the person still in it. Still trying. Still showing up. Find it on the In The Middle Of All This Facebook page or search In The Middle Of All This on Amazon.

    S2E23-When Everyone Else Looks Further Along

    You didn't get bad news. Nothing went wrong. You just looked around, and suddenly the work that felt meaningful five minutes ago feels small, slow, and behind. In this episode, Eryn gets honest about the quiet, corrosive habit of measuring your life against everyone else's highlight reel. We talk about why comparison is so deeply human, what it actually costs you (presence, gratitude, and originality), and the difference between comparison that diminishes you and inspiration that pulls something out of you. Plus: why you're not behind, the timeline illusion, and a simple practice for returning to your own story when the comparison spiral starts. "You are not running the wrong race. You are just in the middle of yours."

    S2E1-What Happens When You Stop Showing Up

    Have you ever stopped doing something that mattered to you and then let the gap get so big it felt impossible to restart? That's where I've been for about six months. This episode is about the quiet drift, the lie that says you might as well quit, and the decision to show up anyway even when showing up is the hardest thing on the list. Still trying. Still showing up.

    Episode 18 - Finding True Rest

    In a world that never stops, host Eryn Foster dives into the crucial, often-forgotten difference between stopping and truly resting. He argues that we have become "professional stoppers," mistaking temporary halts for the deep, restorative pause our minds, bodies, and spirits desperately need. Eryn shares his personal experience with the "false economy of busyness"—a cycle of running on empty, wearing exhaustion as a badge of honor, and mistaking burnout-induced collapse for genuine recovery. Drawing on wisdom from Thomas Merton, Shauna Niequist, and Dallas Willard ("Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life"), he challenges the notion that rest must be earned. This episode introduces the practical antidote to the "tyranny of the urgent": the Daily Unplug. Eryn outlines the intent and discipline needed to reclaim your attention from the mental grind, offering a simple yet radical practice to quiet the inner critic and access the deep well of creative stillness. Discover why your rest is not a reward, but a necessity, and a "radical, powerful statement" in a world that demands your burnout. This episode is a must-listen for the overwhelmed professional, the overbooked parent, or anyone who feels like they’re constantly running a race they didn't sign up for.
