Have you ever felt like stepping back meant failing? I did too. After running my business full-time, I hit a point of stress and overwhelm that I couldn’t ignore. Returning to part-time work felt like a setback, but in reality, it was the best decision I could have made. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the truth about why I took a break, what I learned about slowing down, and how surrendering led to the birth of my upcoming book, Unbecoming. This is for anyone who’s ever felt the pressure to keep pushing—even when your soul is calling you to pause. We’ll explore: ✨ Why stepping back isn’t failure—it’s wisdom ✨ How surrendering created space for clarity and deeper alignment ✨ The lessons I’ve learned about redefining success ✨ Reflection prompts to help you trust your own timing If you’re feeling the pull to slow down but are afraid of what that means, this episode is for you.
