Unshakeable Belief with Monica Connolly

When the Plan Falls Apart: Why the Pause Isn’t the Problem


Listen Later

What happens when the plan you were confident in suddenly doesn’t work anymore?

In this episode of Unshakeable Belief, Monica opens a new series by addressing the moment many women quietly struggle with but rarely talk about — when momentum slows, capacity shifts, and pushing harder no longer works.

This conversation is not about quitting, giving up, or losing your edge. It’s about understanding why pauses happen, how your body and nervous system communicate through interruption, and why slowing down is often an invitation to build something more sustainable.

If you’ve been feeling behind, scattered, or disappointed in yourself for needing a pause, this episode will help you reframe what’s happening and reconnect with steadiness instead of shame.

  • Why interruptions are not failures, but capacity signals

  • The difference between pausing and quitting

  • How strong, capable women often override their bodies until something forces a stop

  • Why clarity disappears during burnout and why that’s normal

  • How to stay grounded when life doesn’t go according to plan

    This episode is the foundation for a 3-part series designed to help you move from interruption to clarity and forward motion without recreating burnout.
