The Messy Middle: Success & Ambition

​​Space to Grow x SFUXD Presents: The Messy Middle.

​​This is a guided convo series for creative professionals navigating the in-between, that space where you’ve outgrown what was, but aren’t quite sure what’s next.

​​Through open, honest dialogue in a small group, you’ll see you’re not the only one wrestling with uncertainty, self-doubt, or big questions about your work and life.

​​Led by Tina Yip, founder & coach at Space to Grow, in each session, a group of creatives will come together to get real about a specific topic, exchange thoughts, and learn from each other.

​​Topic for this month: Success & ambition

​​Exploring questions like:

• ​"What's a definition of success that's worth it for me?"

• ​"How has my definition of success changed through the years?"

• ​“How do I stop comparing myself to other people?” 

• ​“What boundaries do I need to set to protect my version of success?"

• ​"What does “enough” look like for me this season?"

​​Who is this for:

​​Mid-career creative professionals (brand, design, marketing, content, strategy, product) who feel “successful on paper” and are navigating the sticky in-between, outgrowing what was and unsure what’s next. You want clarity on identity, direction, and what meaningful work/life looks like now.

• ​​You’re ~8–20 years into a creative/marketing/design/strategy career and feeling restless or misaligned.

• ​​You’re multi-hyphenate/curious, juggling roles or considering a pivot, side project, or new path.

• ​​You’re asking bigger questions about who you are at work (and outside of it) and what you want to be known for.

• ​​You want a small, facilitated space to say the quiet parts out loud, hear how others are navigating it, and leave with language + next steps.

• ​​You value candid conversation over performative networking.

​​Who this is NOT for:

• ​​You want tactical job-hunt tips

• ​​You’re not open to reflection or peer dialogue

• ​​You’re seeking a “one right path” answer vs. exploring possibilities

​​Limited seats available to keep a cozy vibe 😌
