Vertically Center div Using Bootstrap

I'm currently working with a template, and I'm trying to position the elements with the following requirements:

I've been at this for 3 hours and I still haven't managed to get it to work. Here is the template:

  <div>
    <header className='fixed-top d-flex justify-content-around'>
      <div className="">
        <h3 className="float-md-start mb-0">Ethan Leyden</h3>
        <nav className="nav nav-masthead justify-content-center float-md-end">
          <a className="nav-link fw-bold py-1 px-0 active" aria-current="page" href="#">Home</a>
          <a className="nav-link fw-bold py-1 px-0" href="#">Features</a>
          <a className="nav-link fw-bold py-1 px-0" href="#">Contact</a>
        </nav>
      </div>
    </header>

    <div className="mx-auto my-auto">
      <main className="">
        <h1>Welcome to the site</h1>
        <p className="lead">It's definitely still under construction. Do you know how to vertically center content with Bootstrap? I sure don't</p>
        <p className="lead">
          <a href="#" className="btn btn-lg btn-light fw-bold border-white bg-white">Learn more</a>
        </p>
      </main>
    </div>
  </div>

I've tried various combinations of mx-auto, my-auto, align-items-center, d-flex but to no avail. I'm sure this is a trivial question but I can't find the answer anywhere to my specific question (or find one that works, at least).

You have to use d-flex for first point and flex-grow-1 to make the horizontally and vertically centered.
