On today’s episode I share: ⁃5 signs it’s time to slow down + maybe even take a career break ⁃How to overcome fears about taking a break and slowing down ⁃How to set yourself up to take a break / sabbatical  ⁃The benefits of entering a season of slowness I also share a little life update and why I haven’t released an episode in months (hint hint - there’s a tiny human growing inside my uterus!
