The Magic of the Messy Middle

Learning to be seen in the in-between, before it’s polished, perfect, or fully formed—and why these moments hold the real transformation.

a home for women who feel the quiet pull to live differently

Through personal essays, reflective writing and slow lifestyle storytelling, we explore authentic living, conscious motherhood and self-discovery — tracing the process of awakening from inherited narratives around success, productivity, womanhood and identity, and rebuilding life in a way that feels grounded, intentional and true.

At its heart, my writing — this body of work — is about healing and becoming. My goal is never to rush, optimise or prescribe, but to offer resonance and recognition. Think of it as a companion for women in transition, those who are listening closely to themselves and shaping lives that feel beautiful, spacious and deeply, authentically, their own.

This piece holds the heart of this journal.

Featured SERIES

At the Threshold of Self

A reflective series exploring self-abandonment, repeated relationship patterns and the moment awareness arrives — not to fix us, but to bring us back into relationship with ourselves.

About me

I’m Rhian — a writer, solo mumma and the woman behind this publication.

This space grew from a quiet reckoning. Somewhere between early motherhood and the slow accumulation of days, I realised I couldn’t remember the last time I felt fully myself. Not unhappy — just deeply absent.

Writing became the way back.

I write for women navigating identity shifts, motherhood and awakening — for those who are softening rather than striving, listening rather than performing. This journal lives in the space where woman and mother meet, where healing happens quietly and becoming is allowed to take its time.

I don’t write from arrival. I write from inside the living of it.
