The Courage To Be 173: Why Slowing Down Feels So Uncomfortable
The quiet moments we crave are often the ones we judge the most. In this episode, I explore the hidden pressure to “do more,” the discomfort that rises when we finally slow down, and the tender journey of learning to rest without guilt. If you’ve ever questioned whether your slower seasons still have value, this conversation will feel like a breath of relief.
What part of your life is asking you to soften today?
