In this personal solo episode, I’m sharing why I’ll be pressing pause on The Feisty Heroine Podcast this summer as I prepare for surgery, focus on healing, and reflect on what’s next for this journey.

As spring blooms across the Midwest, I’ve been thinking a lot about seasons of change, rest, legacy, and what it means to truly honor yourself. From the irises blooming around my family’s farm—flowers deeply tied to the women in my family—to a powerful story about how this podcast impacted a listener all the way in Albania, this episode is a reminder that our stories matter more than we realize.

This conversation is for any woman navigating burnout, healing, life transitions, or the need to slow down and reconnect with herself.

In this episode, I talk about:

Why I’m taking a break from the podcast this summer
Preparing for surgery and prioritizing healing
The emotional story that reminded me why I started this podcast
Family traditions, irises, and the women who shaped me
Why rest is not weakness
Creating space to reflect, realign, and begin a new chapter

This isn’t goodbye and it’s simply a pause before what comes next.
