When was the last time you truly stopped?
Not just paused for a breath—but dropped everything, tuned into your body, and asked: How am I really feeling right now?

In this episode, you’ll explore why stopping feels so hard, what resistance looks like in the moment, and how your mind fights to keep you in old patterns. Drawing wisdom from Walden by Thoreau, Donny reminds us that what we truly need is far less than we think—and joy lives on the other side of simplicity.

This is your invitation to remember what matters, and to begin designing a life rooted in presence, clarity, and peace.

Ask yourself:

•  How do I really feel when I wake up each day?
•  What small act could bring me joy today?
•  And what would change if I just allowed myself to stop?
