EP 234: The Messy Middle & Gold At Your Feet

The Bridge to Fulfillment

Aug 31 2023 • 15 mins

When change is on the horizon, but we’re not quite sure what that means in the present moment, our first impulse is to try and find the answer.

Researching, asking around, filling up your time and energy with actions.

And while all of that keeps us busy through those messy middle periods of uncertainty, it doesn’t leave very much space for the unknown.

When you learn to get comfortable with the unknown, then you might pause just long enough to recognize the gold beneath your feet.

Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake shares her personal, and present, messy middle story, explaining what’s going on behind the scenes. Her investments in personal and professional development are leading to some big changes.

In this episode, she’s sharing what she’s learned so that your life can benefit and you, too, can experience the transformation that you’ve been seeking. You’ll hear the big ah-ha moments that have come as a result of embracing the messy middle. She shares how opting to be patient and receive the right answers, rather than trying to force them, yields results that are naturally more in alignment with your purpose and values.

If you want to start creating life on your terms, then it’s time to embrace the messy middle.

You might be surprised at what you discover beneath your feet.

Favorite Quotes:

  1. If you've listened long enough, you've heard the same things that my clients have been telling me for years: ‘I came here because I thought you were going to change my career and instead you changed my life.’

  2. Ultimately, what I've experienced and gone through in my life, the lessons I've learned, and the path I've been able to walk…I wish everyone had the level of peace, freedom, joy, confidence, space, and ability to be present in their life in the way that it’s unlocked for me.

  3. Our brains are wired to want a solution. So anytime we're in a circumstance where we don't know the answer, we're going to move as quickly as possible to research and find the answer. Whether that's actually the best answer for us or not.

  4. You cannot receive if your hands are full.
