Why is slowing down so uncomfortable?

And more importantly—what’s on the other side of that discomfort?

In this episode, we’re sharing about why we're "pressing pause" on releasing new episodes, in order to intentionally make space to make something (and this process) even juicier.

If you’ve ever felt resistance to slowing down, this conversation is for you.

We're talking about:

• Why rest feels so hard—and why it’s necessary for growth
• How to recognize when it’s time to press pause & create space for clarity
• How to uncover what’s really driving our busy-ness
• Tools for shifting your state & bringing more juiciness to your to-do list
• How to rewire our well-worn pathways to stress & replace them with rest and nourishment
• The challenge of keeping creativity alive when your passion becomes your job
• The Productivity of Rest—how slowing down can make us more aligned, creative, and inspired
  

This is an invitation to step back and ask: What’s on my plate? Why is it there? And what can I shift to allow more wisdom, ease, and alignment?
