In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Pete Cohen explores the transformative concept of "Stop To Start"—how taking intentional pauses can open the door to clarity, healing, and true progress.

Pete reflects on the major stop moments in his life—from the unexpected meeting of his wife during a volcanic ash cloud in Croatia to facing profound loss with the passing of his wife, parents, and other life-altering experiences. These moments, though painful, became turning points that reshaped his life.

You’ll hear about:

Why we need to pause before we progress
The dangers of being busy just to be busy
Pete’s decision to step away from social media—and the liberation it brought
The power of auditing your life across health, relationships, purpose, and service
Reconnecting with the past to realign with what truly matters today
A special reflection on legacy, presence, and the question: What are you really here for?
Plus, an introduction to Pete’s secret wellness weapon—reishi mushroom-infused tea and coffee

Key Takeaway:

“If you want to start something new, meaningful, or different… first, you need to stop. Stop to reflect. Stop to reconnect. Stop to make space for what really matters.”

Questions to Reflect On:

What do you need to stop doing in order to start what truly matters?
Where are you right now in your life audit—your energy, your relationships, your purpose?
What legacy are you creating with how you're living today?
