In this solo episode, I name the yellow flags that told me I’d crept past capacity—and why my body’s honest answer was to pause. I walk through the dopamine of rushing, the resentment that follows, and the relief I felt when I imagined three months without weekly production. I share what this means for the show, and how pausing creates space for deeper thinking and play. Consider this an invitation to practice open-palm commitments and feel the power of pause in your own life.
