In this episode, I’m talking about the pause — and why it wasn’t burnout, failure, or a lack of discipline. It was information.

I share why I stepped away from the podcast without a plan, what it felt like to have nothing to say, and why I refused to force content just to stay visible. This season has been about learning the difference between moving through resistance and honoring true misalignment.

I talk openly about mental health, perimenopause, and starting hormone replacement therapy — and how regulation, not numbness, changed how I move through stress, endings, and uncertainty.

You’ll hear reflections on losing a major contract without imploding, trusting that what’s meant for me won’t miss me, and what’s quietly coming back online behind the scenes.

If you’re in a season where pushing feels heavier than it used to, this episode is your reminder:

Sometimes the most anti-hustle move is to stop — and trust what comes next.
