S2E28 - The Second Gap

S2E28 - The Second Gap

After another unexpected break, Eryn Foster returns with an honest look at what really pulled him away. Some of the reasons were unavoidable—family health concerns, changing priorities, and real-life responsibilities. Others were harder to admit: a lack of motivation hiding behind legitimate excuses. In this episode, Eryn reflects on the difference between having a reason and making an excuse, why momentum is built through consistency rather than inspiration, and how even good things can compete for the same limited time. If you've ever let a meaningful habit, dream, or relationship quietly slip away, this conversation is a reminder that noticing the pattern sooner is the first step toward starting again. Sometimes the most important comeback isn't a perfect one—it's simply showing up again.

S2E27 - Debt Fatigue

You're doing everything right. You're making the payments, saying no to things you want, sticking to the plan—and somehow it still feels like you're standing still. In this episode of In The Middle Of All This, Eryn Foster talks about debt fatigue: the emotional exhaustion that comes from making slow, invisible progress. If you've ever wondered why staying disciplined feels harder than getting started, this conversation is for you. We'll talk about why the math is discouraging, why comparison makes it worse, and three practical ways to keep going when motivation has disappeared. Because sometimes the greatest financial victory isn't paying off the debt today—it's choosing not to quit.

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.
