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.

S2E24 - Still Here: A Memorial Day Episode

"Memorial Day stopped me from posting on Tuesday. Here's why and what I think still being here actually means."

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."

S2E22-How to Keep Moving When the Feeling Is Gone

What do you do when the momentum comes back… but the motivation still doesn’t? In this episode, Eryn Foster talks about the reality that follows most comebacks — showing up even when the feeling is gone. From discipline and exhaustion to faith and purpose, this conversation explores why action often has to come before motivation does. Because motivation is temporary. But character is built in the decision to keep going anyway.
