In this short, guided practice, Shannon invites you to slow down — to take a breath between what’s been and what’s next.

Whether you’re listening while resting or on the move, this episode offers a calm space to check in with yourself, reflect on the past season, and gently reset your nervous system.

Through mindful breathing, reflection prompts, and intentional pauses, you’ll reconnect with your body’s wisdom and remember: rest is also movement.

In This Episode

• A guided moment to arrive — releasing tension and softening into presence
• Reflective prompts to notice what’s complete, what’s lingering, and what’s ready to be released
• A brief breath-based reset to support your nervous system and clarity
• A closing reminder that reflection itself is action — and you’re allowed to begin gently

Key Takeaways

• You don’t have to plan or fix everything to move forward.
• Noticing what no longer needs your energy creates space for what does.
• Resetting doesn’t require a big overhaul — it begins with awareness.
• “Reflection is action. Rest is movement.”

Practice Flow

1. Arrive: Ground into the present moment with mindful breathing and softening.
2. Reflect: Look back gently — acknowledge growth, release what’s heavy.
3. Reset: Reconnect to steadiness, permission, or softness.
4. Close: End with gratitude and the affirmation, “I’m allowed to begin gently.”
