Sometimes the pause isn’t a setback — it’s the portal. In this episode of Hello Soul, I open up about my unexpected hiatus after the May tornado and the powerful lessons that came through during that season of stillness.

From the energy it takes to start again (hello, rocket-launch ignition vibes 🚀) to learning the art of divine timing, I share what it’s really like to return — not from square one, but from a higher, more aligned place.

If you’ve stepped away from a dream, a routine, or a creative project, my hope is that this conversation reminds you that rest is not regression — it’s preparation.

Listen if you’re ready to:

• Release the pressure of “falling behind”
• Reframe rest as sacred space for renewal
• Find the spark to reignite what matters most
