Ep 7: Progress is in the Pause

Friend, stop. Let’s lean into the power of the pause. In this episode of The Rest of Us podcast, host Dana Tenille Weekes names five life moments that call for us to pause: (1) when worrying; (2) when your body says so; (3) when you should celebrate; (4) when in the midst of change; and (5) when you are stuck in the familiar. (There’s also a sixth moment Dana sneaks in.) In discussing each of these moments, Dana emphasizes the importance of the relationship between her definition of rest and the necessity of pausing to fully embrace yourself. As part of the episode, Dana shares a story about how few people, specifically her friend Mia, understood the true pause she needed after resigning from the firm. How Mia understood what Dana was searching for was in the pause.Are you looking for how to make meaningful progress in your life? Maybe it’s time to settle into this episode and learn that there’s progress in the pause. If this episode feels like a message or mirror, feel free to share it with someone who is looking to think about rest differently. 🎙️ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. ⭐ Leave a 5-star review.
