I wrote a book about the messy middle and I'm still deeply in it. The messy middle, that is.

Two years of writing, rewriting, second-guessing, and figuring things out, and suddenly, my first book is about to be in people's hands.

I decided to document the final days before publishing The Multi-Hyphenate Dilemma through a series of unfiltered voice memos on my morning walks. What I captured surprised me: the strange emotions of watching preorder numbers, the fear of what people will think, unexpected support, publishing mishaps, and the uncomfortable realization that I'm releasing a book about career uncertainty while navigating plenty of my own.

Consider this a real-time look at what happens in the days leading up to a milestone you've spent years working toward.

In this episode you'll hear about:

• Why reaching a goal doesn't always feel the way you imagined it would
• The vulnerability of asking people to support something you've created
• What surprised me about the people who showed up
• The fears that surface when your work finally leaves your hands
• The unexpected career questions I'm facing days before becoming a published author
