Episode 29

Middle of Feuding Loved Ones

Welcome to Sharing the Mddl, a podcast where we learn to embrace the messy middles of life. In this mini episode, I share my recent experience with crocheting and how it taught me to embrace failure as a part of progress. I also give advice to a listener who is caught in the middle of a conflict between their best friend and their romantic partner. I suggest using meta communication to communicate about the situation and focus on finding a way for the two important people in their life to get along, rather than reconciling. Finally, I share my Lacey Loves for the week, including re-watching New Girl and appreciating family dinners. Thanks for joining me today, and remember, it's okay to fail and embrace the middle.
