Episode description

Roxy Heapy lives between two worlds.

By day, she’s spent nearly two decades building stability in a corporate career at Fanatics. Alongside that, she’s grown a makeup business rooted in trust, care, and long-term relationships.

This conversation explores what it means to navigate two professional identities at once - the tension between security and creativity, the pressure of appearing “settled,” and the reality of still questioning your pace and choices along the way. We talk about growing up fast, using work as safety, redefining success without burning everything down, and learning to trust a life that doesn’t fit neatly into one box.

This episode is for anyone balancing more than one version of themselves - and learning to live in the middle without needing to resolve it all.

In this episode of Notes from the Not There Yet, Bethany sits down with Roxy Heapy to talk about life lived between roles. From holding a long-term corporate career alongside a creative business, to navigating expectations around stability, success, and timing, Roxy shares what it’s like to build a life that doesn’t follow a single-track narrative.

This is a conversation about identity, balance, and allowing different parts of yourself to coexist - without forcing clarity before it’s ready.

1. Living between two careers without choosing just one
2. Stability as safety — and the questions that come with it
3. Identity beyond job titles and linear paths
4. The pressure of looking “sorted” while still feeling uncertain
5. Balance as something you manage, not master
6. Trusting a life that doesn’t fit into one label

1. You don’t have to collapse your life into one path for it to be valid.
2. Stability and questioning can exist at the same time.
3. A career can be both grounding and limiting - neither cancels the other out.
4. Balance isn’t a destination; it’s an ongoing negotiation.
5. Living in the middle doesn’t mean you’re undecided - it means you’re intentional.
