“Gratitude is the beginning of abundance. Rest is the beginning of clarity.”

—Debra Fodor

Today’s episode is for anyone feeling pulled in too many directions… for anyone who’s forgotten what it feels like to simply breathe.

We’re exploring The Power of the Pause—and how slowing down can actually move us forward.

TRUTH MOMENT

You don’t have to earn rest.

You don’t need to accomplish more to deserve a pause.

You are already worthy of breathing room.

If no one’s told you lately—

You don’t have to keep holding everything.

Let something go. Even if just for today.

The world will still spin.

But you—

You get to root into what matters.

Thank you so much for spending this moment with me.

I hope this episode gave you permission to soften, to unplug, and to breathe.
