A space to belong before you’ve arrived.
What is The Not There Yet Project?
The Not There Yet Project is a community built around real stories and supportive practices for people in transition - not lost, not finished, just evolving.
It’s for anyone exploring personal or professional growth: from career changes and creative pivots to wellbeing, identity, resilience and finding joy in everyday life.
More than a community. A mirror for the meaningful middle.
Through stories, weekly reflections, creative events and live circles, I share the journeys that shape us - the honest, hopeful chapters that remind you you’re growing, learning and moving forward.
Not perfect. Not polished. Just real progress.
Meet Bethany - Why It Started.
“Hi, I’m Bethany. I live in Manchester, I’m 35, and like many of you, I spent years ticking the boxes I thought I should. When something still felt missing, sobriety, a trip to Scotland and some honest questions opened up a new sense of purpose.
The Not There Yet Project began as my notes on becoming — and has grown into a community we get to evolve in together.”
Stories from the Middle.
