Description

In this episode I talk about the timing of delivering bad news and the experience of carrying that bad news until the moment it can be shared. This episode includes:

  • The weight of carrying bad news
  • The divine timing that sometimes asks us to wait
  • Why pausing is a survival skill in our current hurry-up society
  • How synchronicity can occur when we slow down and allow for pauses
  • The value of saying Not Just Yet
