Pausing can feel risky when you’re a creative person. It can feel like losing momentum or falling behind. In this episode, I talk about why pauses aren’t a failure or a lack of motivation, but a necessary part of how creative work actually functions. We look at what a pause can really look like, why creativity doesn’t disappear when you slow down, and how stepping back can quietly change your relationship with your work. If you’ve been feeling tired, stuck, or pressured to keep producing, this one’s for you.
