After a powerful Season 3 kickoff, life had other plans. In this episode, we’re catching up on what’s been happening behind the scenes — from navigating chronic illness and the intense reality of perimenopause to hitting a full-body, full-mind wall that forced both Liz and I to pause.

We’re getting real about what happens when the journey stalls, how rest isn’t weakness, and why pausing is not only valid — it’s vital. You’ll also find a breathing reset, a calming affirmation, and a reflective journal prompt to help you check in with yourself wherever you are on your path.

✨ Take the pause.

✨ Give yourself permission.

✨ The journey continues — just at a gentler pace.

📓 Journal Prompt:

What is my body trying to tell me right now?

What do I need to pause — or protect — to feel whole again?

We’d love to hear your reflections. DM us or email us at - links below. Your truth may just help someone else feel less alone.
