No Man’s Land: Why the Messy Middle Isn’t the End of Your Fairytale (Solo Episode)

What if the hardest part of building a business isn’t the beginning… or the end — but the middle?
In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful lesson that hit me in the middle of a long, sweaty run while training for my upcoming half marathon. My instructor introduced the concept of No Man’s Land — the point in a long run where you’re too far from the start to feel excited, but too far from the finish to see the payoff.
And honestly? It felt exactly like solopreneurship.
We talk about:
- Why the “messy middle” is where so many business owners get stuck
- The mindset shifts that help you keep going when motivation dips
- Why discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong — it often means you’re growing
- How working smarter (not harder) becomes essential as your business grows
- The systems that help reduce mental load and create breathing room again
And to kick off the new year, I’m excited to be partnering with 17hats on a giveaway designed to support solopreneurs in this exact season. One winner will receive a one-year 17hats membership (open to new and existing users), plus a 60-minute 1:1 session with me to help you figure out the best place to start.
Enter here.
✨ Because the messy middle shouldn’t be the thing that stops you from building your fairytale.
