What Expands Must Also Contract
Description
Send Mara a quick text love note here!
How do you show up in times of contraction? Do you question why you’re tired or not feeling something? Do you try to force yourself to work the same ways you do in times of expansion?
In this solo episode, I share how I’m feeling after three expansive years of writing, editing, promoting, and launching my book. And I reflect on how I’m learning to manage the necessary period of contraction that has followed.
If you struggle to give yourself permission to embrace ease after times of great effort, this episode is for you.
