Messie Missy's Podcast

From Starting & Stopping to Keep Going: My 30-Day Rebuilding Update A month ago I restarted. Again. For years I'd been starting, stopping, starting, stopping — not quitting, but not continuing either. Divorce. Job loss. Home loss. The kind of losses that don't just take things from you — they take you from you. This episode is a real, raw update on what one month of purposeful rebuilding actually looks like — from the inside. I talk about: Why March keeps pulling me back — and why this time is different The identity crisis nobody warns you about after losing everything you used to be The Mess to Momentum framework I built from survival mode — and how it's finally moving me forward The moment I stopped refusing to look at a calendar — and what that shift meant What God kept telling me through all of it: keep going If you're in the messy middle — the hiding, the hibernating, the starting and stopping — this one's for you. You're not behind. You're not broken. You just haven't kept going yet. → Work with Messie 1:1: Book Here   Connect with Missy: Facebook: Facebook Link Here Substack: Follow Me on Substack   Email Me: [email protected]

Welcome to the Messie Missy Podcast — the place where we don't pretend the mess isn't real. We just refuse to let it be the final chapter. In today's episode, Messie Missy introduces the Starting Over Theory — a reframe that changes everything about how we think about rebuilding our lives and businesses in midlife. In this episode: Why "starting from zero" is a myth that keeps women stuck What your hard seasons have actually been building in you Why the women who rebuild fastest aren't the ones with the least to lose How to see your experience as your foundation — not your baggage Mentioned in this episode: The Messy to Momentum Session — a 90-minute 1:1 Strategy session for YOU! midlife women ready to build momentum through their mess.

Sometimes life makes the decision for you. The relationship ends. The money runs out. The phone rings and nothing is ever the same. In this episode, Missy shares the No Choice Theory — and why the women who move fastest through a crisis are the ones who stop fighting what already is and start asking what they're going to build from here.

But a lot of the time — if we're being honest — it wasn't. Life forced the door closed. And standing at that closed door wondering if it will open again is costing you the future you're meant to build. In today's episode, Missy introduces the No Choice Theory — and the unexpected gift hidden inside your hardest, most unchosen season. In this episode: Why no-choice moments can actually accelerate your rebuilding The question that changes everything: not "why did this happen" but "what do I build from here" How to stop standing at the closed door and find the open one Why your unchosen season might produce your most powerful work Mentioned in this episode: The Messy to Momentum Session — a 90-minute 1:1 coaching intensive for midlife women ready to stop surviving and start building.

That quote stopped Messie Missy in her tracks. Because that is exactly who this podcast is for. In this short but powerful monologue episode, Messie Missy ties that quote directly to the mission of the Messie Missy Podcast — helping midlife women build beautiful businesses through their messes. Businesses that are scalable, that offer time freedom and financial freedom, and that give you a real exit strategy from the corporate cubicle. The question is simple: are you willing to make the uncommon choice? Has your mess caused so much chaos in your head and your heart that you don't know how to make an uncommon choice? Has your mess caused you to be fearful instead of courageous? That's EXACTLY why I created the Messy to Momentum Session!  I've been there but I stayed stuck there for years and now you don't have to!  Ready to make YOUR uncommon choice?

CJ Infantino's wife died on his birthday after suffering from cancer for many years.  She left CJ with young children to raise.  This man has been an incredible hero and role model to everyone around him.   CJ started sharing his personal story with people and it started a domino effect in a positive way.  He’s a widower, writer and speaker.  He’s sharing his grief story with the world to help others.  The first story he used as a way to initiate change inside of Meta/ Facebook with Sheryl Sandberg.  He spoke up about a missing policy to help care for loved ones battling illness/cancer and the company implemented a new leave.  After his wife passed from a long battle of cancer, CJ started to use his voice and his feelings through story telling.  Losing his wife wasn’t messy enough.  CJ Infantino’s clothing line company had to be completely rebranded, renamed and everything entailed in a new business launch-  just 2 weeks before his official launch.  But it turned out to be the BEST thing that happened to him and his clothing line “Hopeless Mope” was born.  The Day After was founded with his cousin, around how to change the conversation around grief and sharing stories.  Sharing stories of grief around loss at a young age, younger than society would declare a normal life span. He’s diving deeper into grief, grief and loss more than human loss.  Unvoiced is his way of expressing his experiences and other people’s stories “No griever will be alone in this community.” CJ has done an incredible job and developed a mission to grow a company out of his messes and using his resilience to show up every day.  He uses his messes and his stories to grow his beautiful businesses around his personal grief.   CJ Infantino IG @CJInfantino https://hopelessmope.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/cj-infantino-33307976/

On a work trip out of the country, she injured herself and she was losing her ability to feel and use her hands.  Meet Brendaliz Acosta, a Holistic Transformational Coach whose mission is to help women experience and feel worthy of success, embrace the path of freedom and purpose.  Once told she needed to control her emotions, not considered for  promotion inside of her company of 26 years because of her emotional immaturity.  Against her better judgement and against her will, she went on a work trip for training and distracted by all of the demands life was throwing her way, she compressed her neck and spine that sent her into an emergency cervical fusion surgery.  During her healing journey, she realized that there was more to life and she didn't know where to turn.  Eventually she found the importance of the mind, body and soul and hasn't stopped since.  This has changed her life and the way she sees the world, now she is in full control of the outcomes of her life.  She still tried to return to corporate to help support her family and still found it comfortable.  Her fear kept her from building a business, she lost her job in 2022.  Her belief is that God, source, universe was sending her breadcrumbs and then eventually the message starts to scream at you.  Losing her job after 20+ years in Corporate America sent her into grief and loss of identity.  She surrendered to the higher source and is now certified as NLP practitioner and experienced much faster results using these modalities.  So many people need the work Brendaliz does.  www.beyouwithbrendaliz.com  You can find me at messiemissy.com
