The Messy Middle: Why Choosing Yourself Feels Wrong (But Means You're Right on Time)

We're talking about the messy middle: that disorienting stretch between who you've been and who you're becoming.

Identity Archaeology: Finding the Woman You Buried Under Everyone Else's Needs
I was sitting at my desk, calendar completely full — color coded, 15-minute blocks, everything accounted for — and I couldn't find myself anywhere in it. Not one block that said "Kiley wants this." Not one appointment for my dreams.Sound familiar?In this episode, I'm walking you through what I call Identity Archaeology — the three layers of self that women like us build over decades: the Survival Self (the brilliant manager who never stops managing), the Achieving Self (the optimizer who forgot what she was optimizing for), and buried underneath it all, your Original Self (the dreame...
