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.
More than a community. A mirror for the messy middle.
Through blogs, weekly reflections, creative in person events, and live circles, I'll be sharing the journeys that don’t always make the highlight reel - so you can feel supported, inspired, and less alone while you figure it out.
Meet Bethany - Why It Started.
“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.”

Unpolished. Unfinished. Unstoppable.
NOW LIVE: Notes from the Not There Yet - The Podcast.
Honest, unpolished conversations with people building, grafting, and figuring it out. No overnight success stories here. Just honest, inspirational conversations for the messy middle.
Refer a Friend. Share a Story.
We all know someone who inspires us — the quiet grafters, the brave changers, the ones still figuring it out but showing up anyway.
Here at Not There Yet, we’d love to meet them.
Nominate a friend whose story deserves to be shared, and we’ll invite them into our community, our blog, and maybe even our podcast.
