Middle of Marriage
This week marks my 7th wedding anniversary, which naturally makes me think about marriage. While I share some things here, the inner workings of my marriage are something I haven’t shared much about because that wouldn’t be fair. My marriage isn’t just mine, it’s also my husband’s. To respect his experience, privacy, and story, I […]
Women Who Made Me
March is Women’s History Month, and it also happens to be my birthday month. My birthday is the day after International Women’s Day. I like to joke that we celebrate all women, and then all of that good will and energy created me. I started my podcast in December, and there were several women who […]
Middle of the Day Nap
Yes, I am shamelessly using a puppy napping because that is the tone of this essay.
Digging Deeper on 100 Things That Make Me Happy
With the downer that has been my past few week’s posts, and in honor of Support from The Mddl releasing this week, I thought I would look deeper at one of my exercises in it. A few years ago, my sweet friend Zac challenged me to make a list of 100 things that Make Me […]
It’s the Most Middle Week of the Year
Read that in the “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” song cadence This week is quite like a time vortex. It is like the ultimate middle. Many people have this week off work, but there are also many people who are still working. For those who have the week from work – it’s […]
Moving The Mddl
Ch-ch-ch-changes are a-comin! When I started The Mddl in October here on Substack, I thought it was going to be a little side thing I did to make myself happy. A place to share my writings and maybe at some point I would be able to make a little money from it. Then, my entire […]
Manifesting the Middle
I had never heard of Human Design until a few weeks ago. Human Design is a complex system/chart based off the location and time of your birth. It combines aspects of many things like astrology and chakras to show how you were designed to operate in this life. I consider myself woo-adjacent. This means that […]
Middle of a Book
In an attempt to be more positive about the middle, I am challenging myself to make all Sunday posts about the good parts of the middle. Or, at least a lighter take on the middle. I adore being in the middle of a book. There is a certain magic to be in someone else’s, whether […]
Middle is Not Mediocre
You are most likely not the best at everything. Frankly, it is safe to say that you are not the best at most things. This is not a knock on you and I am not a magical witch who can see you through the computer screen and know everything about you. Statistically speaking, only one […]
Learning to Embrace the Middle
I have always been a future oriented person. I am always looking to and thinking about the next thing. When I was younger, I always wanted to be older. In high school I couldn’t wait for college, in college I couldn’t wait to be out on my own, out on my own I couldn’t wait […]
