In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a deeply personal season of life. Between the increasing signs of peri-menopause, navigating my partner’s cancer diagnosis, and feeling a shift in my entrepreneurial pace, I’ve learned one powerful truth: slowing down isn’t failure — it’s transformation. Join me as I share what it looks like to release control, embrace flow, and trust that growth happens in the pauses just as much as in the productivity. I’ll leave you with questions to journal on — and maybe, permission to breathe a little deeper in your own transition season.
