Ever feel like you’re stuck in hustle mode, always doing but never reallybeing?

I’ve been there too. In this conversation, I’m getting real about the power of intentional pauses—why they matter, how they help regulate our nervous system, and how they can actually support healing (yep, even from trauma).

Plus, we’ll talk about how slowing down can transform your relationship with food and exercise, bringing more ease and truefood freedom into your life.

I’ll share my own experiences with hustle culture, why rest isn’t lazy, and some simple ways you can start integrating pauses into your day. Because healing starts when we finally give ourselves permission tobreathe. Let’s dive in.
