In the Meantime is a heart-centered podcast about the sacred, messy, and beautiful spaces between who we were and who we're becoming. Hosted by Delories, Tiffany, and Angela — a mother, daughter, and sister-friend across generations — each episode explores life in the meantime through real stories, honest conversation, and a touch of humor. From love to labor, heartbreak to healing, In the Meantime is a porch, a prayer, and a promise: you're not alone in the in-between.
Episode 7 - For Now, and In the Meantime (Season Finale)
As Season One comes to a close, the hosts of In the Meantime gather on the porch to reflect on what this journey has taught them about love, about work, and about the sacred space in between.
Through one final Porch Talk letter, "The Meantime," they revisit the lessons that shaped this season: that love can end without failure, that rest is not laziness, and that the meantime isn't punishment, it's preparation.
Together, they laugh, reflect, and celebrate the growth that's happened along the way, re-centering the promise that started it all: this porch is a prayer, a promise, and a place to become.
In the meantime, we are all becoming — in love, in work, in life.
Reflection Prompt: What wisdom will you carry from your meantime into what's next?

Episode 6 - Redefining Success In the Meantime
Episode 6: Redefining Success in the Meantime
What happens when your productivity stops… and so does the version of yourself you built around it?
In this episode of In the Meantime, we explore what it feels like to slow down when you've spent years sprinting. Through this week's Porch Talk letter, "Still Becoming," we hear from someone wrestling with productivity guilt, the shame of stillness, and the pressure to "do something" during a transition.
Together, the hosts talk about why rest can feel like danger, especially for Black women, and how unlearning the grind can be some of the hardest work of our lives. They unpack worth beyond output, the emotional noise that shows up when you stop performing, and what redefining success on your own terms can look like in the meantime.
In the meantime, your worth isn't measured by output. Rest is sacred too.
Reflection Prompt: What's one new way you can define success for yourself right now?

Episode 5 - Laid Off, Let Go, or Just Left?
What happens when your job ends, but the grief keeps going?
In this episode of In the Meantime, we talk about job transitions, identity, and the quiet unraveling that happens when your title, paycheck, and purpose all disappear at once.
Through this week's Porch Talk letter, "In Grief," we hear from someone who saw the layoff coming but still felt the sting: grieving income, stability, and the version of herself that once found worth in work.
Join us on the porch as we talk about the emotional spiral after job loss, the guilt of rest, and the power of redefining success on your own terms.
In the meantime, you are not unemployed; you are rebuilding. Let your rest be part of the work.
Reflection Prompt: What would it look like to trust yourself again in the meantime?

Episode 4 - Matters of the Heart, Part III: When Love Isn't Enough
Episode 4: Matters of the Heart (Part 3) — When Love Isn't Enough
Sometimes the hardest thing isn't leaving, it's admitting that love alone isn't enough to stay.
In this episode of In the Meantime, the hosts dive into that complicated space between staying and letting go. Through this week's Porch Talk letter, "Still In It," we hear from a woman who's still in the relationship but knows something has shifted. Together, they unpack what it means to love a "good person" and still feel unfulfilled, the guilt that comes with wanting peace, and how to honor endings without shame.
They also briefly touch on intimacy and connection — how physical closeness, or the lack thereof, can reveal deeper truths about emotional distance.
If you've ever stayed out of habit, hope, or fear, this one's for you.

Episode 3 - Matters of the Heart, Part II: Healing After a Breakup
In this episode of In the Meantime, we're talking about what comes after love ends: the ache, the silence, and the slow work of putting yourself back together.
Through this week's Porch Talk letter, "Picking Up the Pieces," we hear from a woman navigating life six months after a breakup. She's honest about the back-and-forth of blocking and unblocking, writing texts she'll never send, and trying to find herself again after loving someone who forgot how to love her back.
Together, we sit with the grief that comes when "us" becomes "me," and the beauty that can still grow in the ruins. We talk about heartbreak as a form of becoming, the kind that hurts, but also clears the soil for something truer to take root.
And as always, we'll leave you with a little truth to carry in the meantime.

Episode 2 - Matters of the Heart, Part I: Longing for Love
In this episode, we talk about what it feels like to want love — and not have it yet. Through our first Porch Talk letter, we hear the story of "The Plus One," navigating wedding invitations, longing, and the ache of waiting.
Together, we reflect on how to balance hope with wholeness, honor our desires without shame, and remind ourselves that longing doesn't make us broken — it makes us human.
And as always, we'll leave you with a little Snack to Go to carry with you in the meantime.

Episode 1 - Welcome to In the Meantime
In our very first episode, we're laying the foundation for what this space is all about — those tender, messy, sacred seasons when you're no longer who you were, but not yet who you're becoming.
You'll meet your three hosts — Delories, Angela, and Tiffany — and hear our stories, our connections, and why we decided to create this podcast together. We'll share what the "meantime" has looked like in our own lives, why it's so hard, and what we wish someone had told us while we were in it.
And at the end, we'll leave you with a little "Snack to Go" — a bite of wisdom you can carry with you as you walk through your own meantime.
So join us for Episode One: Welcome to In the Meantime. We saved you a seat — and maybe a snack.
