There’s a small wisdom tucked inside every pause. Not the ones you schedule, but the ones that find you—when the kettle takes its time, when silence lingers in conversation, when you realize rushing won’t help.

In this bonus episode of The What’s Your Story? podcast, we explore what happens when we treat pauses not as inconveniences, but as invitations.

💭 What if wisdom isn’t a lightning bolt, but a quiet space where nothing seems to be happening, and yet everything is?

* The Coffee Mug Philosopher appears twice a month, both on the podcast and on Substack.

 If this reflection resonated with you, consider taking one extra pause today—and see what it’s been holding for you.
