This conversation was one of those last-minute, everything-went-sideways kind of recordings. I had planned to sit down and record this ahead of time, but life (and my four-month-old) had other ideas. But the beautiful twist is that the disruption actually gave me the clarity I didn’t know I needed. What started as a rushed attempt to tick something off my to-do list, turned into a deeper reflection on clarity, rest, and redefining productivity. This is something I think so many of us need to hear: maybe it’s not that we’re behind, maybe we’re just not still enough to hear what we need.

Keep listening to hear me chat about:

• 00:48 – The irony of rushing to record a podcast about slowing down
• 03:46 – Why you can’t force clarity, but you can make space for it
• 06:24 – How emotional regulation starts with choosing to “be” rather than “do”
• 08:14 – The illusion of urgency and asking yourself: what are you really rushing toward?
• 10:31 – Reframing the five-year plan and leaning into consistency instead
• 13:54 – Ambition vs. presence and why I’m choosing sustainable forward motion over burnout

This episode is a love note to myself and to anyone who is also in the thick of things, trying to do it all. If you’ve been moving fast and still feel like you’re not getting anywhere, maybe it’s time to stop, even if it’s just for a moment. You might be surprised at what clarity comes through. I’d love to know where this one finds you! Leave a quick review and come say hi over on Instagram @RachelleSaevil. I’ll see you next time!
