S2E2: The Courage to Pause

There used to be a time when Shelley and Jill wore “busy” as a badge of honor, but those days are over. Exhaustion is not a status symbol. Busy doesn’t mean being more productive. In Season 2 Episode 2, we talk about what it means to press pause, how to find the courage to do it, and what we gain when we do. This podcast is for you if you believe that: ● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must. ● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit! ● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!” ● There’s more than enough for everyone. ● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process. ● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.
