Description

In a world where we wear our packed calendars and mile-long to-do lists like gold medals, slowing down can feel…suspicious, lazy, unproductive. But what if the secret to your best ideas...and the relaxed, steady confidence you crave...lives in the quiet spaces you keep skipping over? What if slowing down is the missing link between our burnout and our best ideas?

In this episode, I share how I’m playing with slowness in my own life right now (spoiler!!! I’m still a work in progress) and simple ways you can press pause too- without losing your edge. If you’re craving a little more calm, a lot more clarity, and a reminder that you don’t have to sprint your way to greatness… consider this your permission slip.
