This is your sign to slow down and take a break. In a world that doesn't sleep, it's easy to get caught up in it all. So, take a break. That's what I'm doing and I called the shots myself.
This hiatus also serves as a purpose to slow down, process and digest the episodes of my podcast that have been release in the last month, but also the last 30 episodes that have been release as a whole.
Don't be afraid to reach out for help.

A passionate advocate for adoption and an adoptee herself, Vicki understands all sides of adoption, from the good times to the struggles. Whilst living overseas in Fiji as an expat, Vicki fostered a child.
As her partner's business took them back to Australia Vicki heartbreakingly had to leave him in Fiji. Back in Australia, Vicki had numerous failed attempts at in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and natural conception, so she became an adoptive parent to two children.
Vicki is passionate about giving back and works in the not-for-profit sector, currently at Shake It Up Foundation Australia.
Dara Read, author of 'We Love You Hundreds and Thousands' chats about her personal journey of reconnecting with her birth parents and how this led to her writing a vibrant children's picture book. We also chat about the special connection the book provided her and her birth family after the visit.
