In this gentle, reflective episode, I return to the mic with a quieter truth — one rooted in rest, grief, and deep inner listening. There’s no teaching or structured guide today, just an honest conversation from my heart to yours.
If you’ve been feeling emotionally stretched, tired, or like you’re carrying too much, this episode is your permission slip to slow down. To remember that rest is not laziness and that your worth is never tied to how much you do.
This is a moment of softness. A sacred pause. A reminder that even in your quietest seasons, you are still becoming.
✨ Tune in to be held, seen, and reminded of your innate worth.

SHOW NOTES
Hello, my loves. I’ve missed this space, and I’ve missed you. It’s been a few weeks since I recorded an episode, and I wanted to come on here — not with a full teaching or deep dive — but with my truth. Because if there’s one thing I’ve promised you through this podcast, it’s honesty. And right now, that honesty sounds a little quieter. A little more reflective. A little more tender.
The last few weeks have been full. Not just with tasks but with emotion, life, grief, and growth. And I realised something important: I couldn’t record from a place that wasn’t true to where I was.
I know many of you listening are also givers. Women who hold space for everyone else. Women who show up even when they’re tired. Who carry their families, their dreams, their grief — sometimes all at once. And sometimes, even when our minds say ‘keep going,’ our bodies and our hearts say, ‘just pause.’
I felt guilty at first. Guilt that I hadn’t shown up here. Guilt that I hadn’t delivered a podcast episode. Guilt that I was being… lazy. But what I’ve come to remember is this: Rest is not laziness. Slowness is not failure. And pauses are sacred.
The version of me I’m becoming — my Future Self — she doesn’t push through the exhaustion just to keep up appearances. She listens. She softens. She leads from presence, not pressure. So I chose to rest. To grieve. To nourish myself. And in doing so, I realised… maybe this is what I needed to share with you all along.
If you’ve been feeling stretched, emotionally tender, tired, or like you’re carrying too much — I see you.
This episode is your permission slip to slow down. To lay down what’s heavy. To trust that your worth doesn’t come from how productive you are. It comes from who you are — even in your quietest moments.
I’ll be back with more episodes soon — rich, inspiring ones filled with guidance and possibility — but for today, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for holding space for me the way I hold space for you.
An affirmation before I go:
“I am safe to rest. I am safe to slow down. I am safe to return to myself. Everything that’s meant for me will still be there when I’m ready.”
Until next time, take care of your beautiful self. You are never alone. You are always becoming. And you’re doing far better than you think.
