Send us a message - we'd love to hear from you

Overwhelm never asks permission. When it hits, our reflex is to work harder and push through. Yet that often distracts us from the one thing that restores clarity: pausing. In this new episode of Trust on Purpose, we dive into the difference between a nourishing pause and disassociation, how awareness of our sensations helps us return from checkout mode, and how small rituals create the space where we can make better choices.

We share simple ways to practice pausing to regain calm and rebuild trust in your own inner wisdom. Then we connect the dots to leadership in unlocking a team’s intelligence, reducing decision anxiety, and sparking creativity in the uncertainty most leaders try to outrun.

You’ll hear candid stories about over-planning, the fear of not having all the answers, and how surrender-in-doses becomes a practical skill. We talk about listening to the uncomfortable answers that arise when we finally get quiet, and how to hold them without rushing into action. Expect grounded tools, warm honesty, and a reframe of uncertainty as fertile ground for innovation, trust, and more humanness in our work.

We want to thank the team that continues to support us in producing, editing and sharing our work. Jonah Smith for the heartfelt intro music you hear at the beginning of each podcast. We LOVE it. Hillary Rideout for writing descriptions, designing covers and helping us share our work on social media. Chad Penner for his superpower editing work to take our recordings from bumpy and glitchy to smooth and easy to listen to episodes for you to enjoy. From our hearts, we are so thankful for this team and the support they provide us.
