As many of you have noticed, I took a bit of a break.

After getting vaccinated, something shifted in me. After 15 months of stress, uncertainty and the kind of hypervigilance only an ACoA can muster, the idea that I might finally be able to relax showed me just how much I had not relaxed at all. It showed me just how much I had been silently carrying and I could see it was too much.

I needed to take a step back. I needed to just be in my life without also trying to survive it. I needed to pause.

In this hike along with me episode, I share with you what I had to work through to come back and I share my most powerful takeaway: it's okay to give yourself what you need. This is your permission slip to pause as needed -- in any area of your life -- and come back when you're ready.
