After seven years of recording a weekly podcast without missing an episode, something shifted.In today’s episode, Teresa opens up about why she recently stepped back, what she’s been wrestling with personally, and why the message behind her upcoming audiobook feels more urgent now than when the book was first released in 2022.We are living in a world that feels faster, louder, and more reactive than ever before. Between AI, nonstop news cycles, social media, and the pressure to constantly keep up, many of us are carrying a level of exhaustion we can barely name.But beneath all the noise, there is another invitation:A slower, more intentional way of living.In this deeply personal conversation, Teresa shares:Why the “old normal” wasn’t actually workingHow constant urgency is shaping our inner livesThe hidden cost of living reactivelyWhat she noticed in herself after years of nonstop outputWhy she believes we’re not longing for more content, but for depthHow creating a “rule of life” helps you live from rest instead of rushWhy this audiobook needed to be heard in her own voiceThis episode is ultimately an invitation:To pause.To listen.To ask yourself what kind of life you truly want to live before the world answers that question for you.A Question for YouHow rushed are you feeling these days, honestly?If you had to rate it from 1–10, where would you land right now?Hit reply or send Teresa a message — she reads every response.Coming SoonTeresa’s audiobook releases in less than a month, and podcast listeners will be the first to hear all the details.Stay connected for release updates and behind-the-scenes conversations coming soon.With love from the porch.FREE RESOURCES:Listen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?
