A space to belong before you’ve arrived.

The Not There Yet Project is a blog, newsletter, podcast, and community for people navigating life’s messy middle - the seekers, builders, dreamers, and doers exploring purpose, wellbeing, and joy.

What is The Not There Yet Project?

The Not There Yet Project is a community of stories and practices for people in the in-between — not lost, not arrived, just not there yet.

It’s for anyone exploring personal and professional growth: whether that means career change, health and mindfulness, resilience, or finding joy in the everyday.

“Hi, I’m Bethany. I live in Manchester, I’m 35, and like many of you, I ticked the boxes I thought I should — but still felt something was missing. Sobriety, a trip to Scotland, and some big life questions cracked something open in me.

That’s where The Not There Yet Project began: as my notes, my search for purpose and balance, and now as a community we can grow in together.”
