We are often caught up in the hype of feeling like we aren't doing enough, we need to do more, and that slowing down seems like we are slacking off. But, what if we could just start from where we are and prepare for when we want or need to slow down? We are going to take our lives back. We are going to take our communities back and we are going to take our children back, but we have to prepare for the times when we need to focus on our own growth and our own healing. In Episode 61, Callie shares a few notes on how she was able to slow down when she wanted to, but more importantly, when she needed to. Have a listen and take time to reflect on how you can continue your personal preparation, or get some tips about how you can start now. Have a desire you want to get into motion?

This episode is a reflection of how you climb up from a rock bottom situation. Callie shares how hitting her rock bottom brought on a time of this reflection and allowing people to care for her. Life can improve after hitting what feels like rock bottom. It is a sign from life that you can’t move forward in your current situation. You may not even label it "rock bottom" until you look back later at how your perspectives and actions in life changed. Many are well past this stage in life but it can hit at anytime. Creating community is so important because the community you create is who will lift you up. Allow the support. Are you coming out from a rock bottom situation and want more support?

Callie shares about how deep self-reflection helped her let go of limiting beliefs that were stopping her from moving towards future goals. It is hard to let go when something seems unfair, like waiting for an explanation or an apology. Life teaches us lessons in many ways and sometimes it is the lesson of moving on without the resolution we want. This episode lays out how overcoming the feeling of being treated unfairly freed Callie from pursuing future goals because she realized she also needed to acknowledge her own responsibilities. Your present mindset has to align with your future desires in order for you to move forward. There will be more opportunities to connect with Callie and receive support coming up in the future. Follow and connect on Youtube, Facebook or Instagram. Take advantage of seeing Callie live as she is one of the dynamic speakers at the "I Am What’s Possible" conference in Nashville, TN in August 2025. You will leave changed.
