In this profoundly raw and moving episode of The Happy Millions Show, Liz Benny invites you into an intimate story of recalibration, connection, and rebirth. After her wife’s fall led to a head injury and health scare, Liz wasn’t hustling—she was healing. She chose to pause, peel back layers of PTSD, menopausal overwhelm, and the constant "on" pressure that creators often face in today’s hustle culture.     Through tears and humor—like when she added a playful “not dead” tag in the hospital waiting room—Liz explores what it really means to step fully into life’s pauses. She details the guilt, the fear of being “off stage,” and the liberating surrender to life’s unfolding. Along the way, she reclaims potency, boundary, and flow—realizing you don’t need to burn out to be impactful.     If you’re exhausted by constant engagement pressure (a challenge to over 50% of creators), drained from chronic “always-on” mindset, or questioning why pausing feels like failure—this episode is your invitation to helicopter out, reconnect, and re-emerge more aligned than ever. This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s a blueprint for re-humanizing entrepreneurship, showing how stepping back can fuel your soul, marriage, business impact, and creative edge.   What You’ll Walk Away With Why pause ≠ failure, and how stillness fuels potency How deep vulnerability can trigger transformation and realignment What radical surrender looks like in action—emotionally, relationally, and professionally How life interruptions can expand your capacity—if you allow them Why scaling impact isn’t about content volume; it’s about embodied presence How to recalibrate your life rhythm without sacrificing impact or integrity Grab Liz’s book The Ultimate Wealth for FREE: https://lizbenny.com   Show Notes: 00:00 – Opening: stepping away from hustle to honor life 00:45 – Crisis & Clarity: Christie’s fall, PTSD, surrender 05:00 – Emotional debris: guilt, hyper-responsibility, SHOCK 10:30 – Embodied alignment: intuition, flow, boundary setting 15:00 – Business reboot: skipping the algorithm chase to serve deeper 18:30 – Reclaiming capacity: deeper presence in coaching and connection 22:10 – Book launch hesitations & digital detox around trauma 25:00 – Vision ahead: scaling alignment, KAPOW expansion 29:00 – Closing: reflections, partnership, future vigor Connect With Liz Instagram: @lizbenny Get The Ultimate Wealth: https://lizbenny.com Explore the KAPOW Sisterhood: https://lizbenny.com/ultimate

SHOW NOTES:    00:00:00 Introducing Nicole Kalil and Her Mission 00:08:54 The Connection Between Confidence and Clarity 00:11:43 Trusting Yourself 00:16:55 One Thing Nicole is Most Passionate About 00:20:11 What Success Truly Means 00:25:37 The Journey of Becoming A Better Version 00:37:30 A Spiritual Experience 00:40:33 The Enemy Of Confidence is Perfectionism 00:48:44 A Piece of Advice 00:50:24 Fun Fast Q&A QUOTES   “Eliminate gender expectations so that  we can all show up in our lives, in our worlds, in our  work as who we authentically are and live our purposes and be who we're meant to be without the constraints, the  expectations, the limitations that the packaging that we come in  often lends itself to.”   “It's this knowing who you are, owning who you're not, embracing all of it. I think when you trust yourself and you get quiet and you really listen to what matters and what you know to be true and all of that, it creates clarity.”   “When people say, listen to the whispers of the universe or trust God, like whatever your belief system is, it can be one of the most petrifying but also one of the most liberating experiences.”   “Confidence is inside of me, and it's my choice whether or not I want to connect to it, whether or not I want to listen to it, whether or not I want to choose to trust myself. My hope from an action perspective, and when I speak, I would put myself more in the tactical  side.”   “Success to me is first and foremost, having personal health. So that's mental, emotional and physical.  So taking care of my mind. Taking care of my body. Feeling and experiencing and allowing all my feelings, but not letting them own me.  So I like the expression, ‘it's okay to have your feelings. They just can't have you.’”   “I love who I am, and I'm not trying to convince people to like me.”   “The more I'm up to something that matters, the bigger stage that I'm operating in and from, the more there are going to be people who don't like me.”   “So there might be more haters, but there are more lovers as well. Well, and the more you show up as yourself, the more authentic you are, the easier you make it for your people to find you.”   “Perfectionism is the enemy of confidence. It's an unachievable, unattainable goal that we have no hopes other than to fall short on. “   “Nobody creates confidence without messiness.  Nobody creates a life worth living without making some mistakes along  the way.”
