After an unplanned but necessary break, I’m back—reflecting on what happens when we allow ourselves to pause. Over the past four months, I found myself slowly stepping away from creating and publishing episodes, not out of intention but out of something deeper: the need to breathe. In this episode, I dive into the power of stepping back, what the break revealed, and why rest isn’t quitting—it’s part of the process.

Plus, as this podcast hits its one-year anniversary, I’m re-evaluating what I create and how I show up moving forward. Join me as I unpack the lessons of the pause and share what’s next.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, take this as your sign: You’re not falling behind. You’re preparing for what’s next.

Listen now and let’s navigate this next chapter together.
