In this episode, Gayla shares why the podcast went quiet for a few weeks and what she learned about the difference between pushing through resistance and honoring the need to pause. Sometimes "Don't Let the Start Stop You" needs to make room for "It's Okay to Stop and Reassess."

Key Takeaways

• It's okay to pause. Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is stop producing and create space for reflection.
• Real consistency comes from sustainable systems. It's not about forcing yourself to show up when you have nothing genuine to say.
• The "don't want tos" are a signal. They often indicate something is off or that different priorities need attention.
• Creating from inspiration beats obligation every time. When you Live Full and Work Fun, success follows naturally.
