In this episode of Overflow, I invite you into a conversation around choosing your own natural pace, one that honours your nervous system, your season of life, and what matters most to you.

I reflect on how often we’re taught to chase the excitement, to move fast, to do more. But what if the most courageous thing we can do right now is slow down? What if creating space in our days, space to think, to feel, to rest, is the very thing that connects us back to our nourishment, fulfilment and presence.

This episode is an exploration of letting go of the pressure to prove your worth through productivity, and instead cultivating a pace that feels grounding and expansive. I share the questions I ask myself when making plans, and why I believe that our discomfort with slowing down often reveals something deeper, things we've been avoiding, truths we’ve been too busy to hear.

My intention is that you feel held in your humanness, seen in all your layers, and reminded of your power to take ownership of your life, so you can bring your best self to the world and pour into your own life from a place of overflow.

This is an invitation to choose rest without guilt. To define what fulfillment and success actually look like for you. And to lead your days, your life, your motherhood, your business, your relationships, unapologetically at your own rhythm.

journaling prompts for this episode:

• What is most important to me in this season?
• What does a day or week look like where my nervous system is feeling truly nourished? 
• What words would I use to describe my ideal rhythm, pace and flow?
• If space, rest or slowing down makes you uncomfortable - what’s underneath that? What are you truly avoiding?
• Where have I over committed?
• What values and important things have been pushed to the side?
• What am I rushing right now, that needs more time and space to fully bloom?
• Where can I create some more space in my life, to breathe, to be, to rest, to trust? 
• What are three changes that feel right for you, that you can make to your weekly rhythm, that would slow down the pace and prioritise the things most important to you?
