The Not There Yet Project Podcasts
Honest conversations. Relatable stories. Real journeys.
Notes from the Not There Yet is a podcast for women navigating life’s messy middle. If you are navigating an unpolished mid-life transition - not lost, not arrived, just figuring things out as you go - this space is for you.

One Podcast. Two Ways to Listen.
Depending on what your current season and life transition looks like, you can engage with the audio side of this project in two distinct ways:
1. Notes from the Not There Yet (Always Free Guest Conversations)
Every two weeks on a Tuesday, we release a brand-new, honest conversation with guests - creatives, founders, professionals, and everyday people - who are pulling back the curtain on their highlight reels. Together, we unpack the uncertainty that often sits underneath a life that looks "sorted" from the outside.
We openly explore core life transition topics like:
- Identity Shifts & Personal Growth: Re-evaluating who you are when old roles no longer fit.
- Career Pivots & Redefining Success: Stepping off the traditional corporate ladder to build meaningful work.
- Motherhood, Parenthood & the Child-Free Path: Navigating the complex, unpolished identity shifts of family dynamics, changing parenting seasons, or intentionally choosing to build a meaningful life without children.
- Sobriety & Mental Wellbeing: Choosing a sober lifestyle in your 30s or 40s and learning to face uncomfortable questions without hiding.
- Navigating Uncertainty: Coping with the shifting landscape of adult friendships, relationships, and major life changes.
2. The Not Yets Circle (£17/mo or £150/yr Solo Audio Diaries)
If you want to go a layer deeper, bypass the public noise, and actively process your own growth, you are so welcome to step inside our paid space. Joining the Circle instantly unlocks full access to our private premium ecosystem:
- Notes from the Middle: Exclusive, bi-weekly solo audio diaries. Raw, unscripted voice notes from the the behind the scenes of my own pivots, shifts, and sobriety journey.
- The Private Chat Space: Your algorithm-free app backroom to share everyday unpolished realities, ask for real-time peer feedback, and connect with women who get it.
- The Monthly Check-in: A dedicated thread with simple, guided journaling prompts to help us pause, share where we're really at, and lift each other up.
- Extra Stories & Hidden Essays: Access to my rawest personal diary entries, behind-the-scenes founder lessons, and deep dives too vulnerable for the public feed.
- Private Comment Archives: A completely secure, un-indexed comment space beneath every post where you can share your thoughts without public performance or pretense.
Pull up a chair and step inside the Circle.
FAQ: What to Expect from the Podcast
Who is this podcast for?
This podcast is specifically created for women, professionals, and creatives in their 30s, 40s, and beyond who are experiencing a life transition or career pivot. It is for anyone who feels like their life looks successful "on paper," but secretly feels unsettled, unfinished, or ready for a deeper shift. Whether you are tuning in from Manchester, London, or anywhere else in the world, these stories are designed to resonate with your real, unpolished reality.
What makes Notes from the Not There Yet different from other personal growth podcasts?
We do not offer five-step fixes, expert life-coaching formulas, or overnight success stories. Instead of telling you how to "arrive," this podcast focuses entirely on the value of the in-between. It provides an independent, slow-paced space to practice self-trust over self-doubt, focusing heavily on honest, lived experiences with sobriety, identity shifts, and career changes.
How often are new podcast episodes released?
Public guest conversations are released on the main feed every two weeks on a Tuesday. On the alternate Tuesdays, exclusive solo audio diaries (Notes from the Middle) are delivered straight to paid members of The Not Yets Circle via Substack.
