183. Feeling Rushed in Motherhood? What Safari Taught Me About Slowing Down

Ever feel like you're constantly rushing through life, but not actually feeling present in it? In this mini jolt, Whitney shares reflections from a recent family trip to Kenya and Tanzania, and the lessons it sparked around energy, pace, and how we move through motherhood. From early morning safaris to watching animals in the wild, this experience shifted the way she thinks about how we spend our time and attention.   Whitney breaks down two simple but powerful takeaways: why being more selective with your energy matters (especially as a mom), and how embracing a "pole pole" (slower slower) pace can help you feel more grounded in your everyday life.   If you've been feeling stretched thin, constantly in go-mode, or a little disconnected from yourself, this is a gentle reset. Press play to start moving through your days with a little more intention and a lot more ease.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: My family trip to Africa and the lessons learned while there How to become more intentional with your time The meaning of "pole pole" and how it applies to motherhood Choosing the energy you want to embody in this season of life Reflection question to ponder:  What energy do I want to embody in this hopeful season of spring, and what pace would support that?   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast
