I can’t believe this is the very first episode of In the Middle of It! Today, I’m sharing how this podcast came to life — not because I want to talk about myself, but because I think you might see pieces of your story in mine.

If you’ve ever felt a quiet nudge that you’re meant for more, but perfectionism, overthinking, or fear of not being “ready” keeps holding you back — this one’s for you. From wedding photography to motherhood to finding my voice again, this episode is an invitation to take that first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why you don’t need the perfect plan to start something new

• How motherhood cracked me open to deeper conversations about identity, purpose, and healing

• The power of community and speaking the thoughts we often keep quiet
