Marci in the Middle
Marci in the Middle is a podcast about real life and the transitions that come along with it. Here we talk about everything from relationships, to finding yourself and your place in the world, aging, as well as food, faith and everything fun. Just think of me as an older sister who’s gonna share her friends and maybe a few things I’ve learned along the way. Episodes premiere every other Monday and you can always find me on Instagram and Facebook @marciinthemiddle and on the web at marciinthemiddle.com. Whatever you’re in the middle of, remember - you’re not alone - and I hope to see you soon!
