It’s Not Personal. You’re Just in the Middle.

Ever feel like the universe is out to get you? Like the second you try to be responsible, something breaks. Your computer dies, your plans fall apart, and your bank account takes the hit.

In this episode, Meredith shares a very real moment of frustration (hello, unexpected $2,500 computer purchase) and how easy it is to spiral into the belief that life is happening to us. Like it’s personal. Like we did something wrong.

But here’s the truth. Life just happens. Things go wrong sometimes, not because we are cursed or broken, but because that is how life works. And if you are not at your goal yet, that does not mean you have failed. It just means you are in the middle, and the middle still counts.

We are talking about how to stop blaming ourselves when things go wrong, how to stay grounded when progress feels slow, and how to keep going even when it feels like nothing is working. You are doing better than you think. And yes, you got this.
