Summary

For some reason, our podcast host is having issue with video files so if you want video, go to youtube. Most of life isn’t the beginning or the big finish—it’s the long, regular middle. In this episode, we talk about why the middle feels extra exhausting right now (hello, montage culture), how “instant everything” trains us to expect quick results, and why that quietly makes real life feel like we’re doing it wrong. We also get honest about what happens when you start believing the middle is a problem to solve… and what changes when you realize it’s actually a place to live faithfully. Plus: the Great Pizza Price Uprising of 2026, a Mount Rushmore pizza draft, and a suspiciously strong desire to swim in the reflecting pool for the right price. If you love what we do and want more behind-the-scenes fun, bonus episodes, and exclusive content, join the walk in love.
