Surviving the fastest month ever, hosting a bucket-list Female Foodie tour in Italy, bracing for nose surgery, finding joy in fashion and movies again, and confronting what a podcast refresh could look like || Messy Middle November 2026
Nov 05, 2026
This monthly series features an episode sharing my recent highs and lows, how my habits are going, a Do Something List update, plus what I'm loving lately and my commitments for the upcoming month. I hope this glimpse into my life, my family, my work, and my own self development encourages you in your own journey.
Around here the goal is never perfection, just to keep trying, even if in very simple ways. I think you'll see that with all of the big changes going on for me, taking the smallest of steps has helped to keep me afloat and feeling like myself. As always, I encourage you to get messy, too!
