Behind the Pause: Real Talk on Life, Art, and Podcasting with Brie Stockwell

What happens when the thing you love — the thing that once felt energizing and aligned — starts to feel heavy?   In this short but honest check-in, I’m opening up about the unplanned pause I took from Wild Women in Photography… and what it revealed about creative capacity, transitions, and trusting your own timing.   This isn’t a full episode — it’s a moment to talk openly about where I’ve been, what’s been unfolding behind the scenes, and why I’m coming back with more clarity and intention than ever before.   If you’ve ever wrestled with your creative identity, felt stretched between roles, or needed permission to step back without guilt — this one’s for you.
