The Honest Middle Series | Ep. 1 When Autopilot Stops Working

Apr 22, 2026

There’s a moment in life when the ways you used to get through the day - pushing, numbing, keeping it moving - stop working. It feels quiet... like something in your body is saying, we’re done doing it this way.

In this episode of The Shit That Matters, we explore that moment—when autopilot shuts off and awareness turns on.

This conversation opens The Honest Middle, a new podcast series focused on the space between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. The season where you know you can’t go back to how things were, but you don’t yet know what’s next.

We talk about what happens when survival mode stops feeling supportive, why this in-between season feels disorienting, and how learning to stay present here changes the way you live your life moving forward.

This episode is also created in honor of Discovering You — LIVE, a space designed for people navigating this exact moment. The waitlist is now open and linked here:

DISCOVERING YOU -- LIVE Waitlist

If you’re feeling more aware, more honest, and unsure how to move forward without rushing—this episode is for you.
