Space for Renascence with Rebecca Steele: Reconnecting with Self and Setting Boundaries

Welcome to Space for Renascence. This podcast is a series of quiet, honest conversations about the reality of personal transformation and the courage it takes to return to yourself when you realise you are no longer living authentically.In this episode, host Felicity Williams discusses the transition from a life of high-pressure "doing" to a life of intentional "being." We look at the physical and mental cost of constant over-extension and how hitting a wall of total overwhelm can be the catalyst for a fundamental change in how we view ourselves and our time.Through lived experience , we explore the shift from a high-stakes career in synthetic chemistry to a grounded life in Italy. This conversation is for anyone who feels they have become a shell of themselves through work and societal pressure, and is looking for a way to triage their priorities and start again.In this episode, we discuss:The Non-Linear Career: Moving away from the idea that we must stay in one professional channel and instead building a diverse toolbox of skills.Physical Warning Signs: Recognising when the body is in overdrive and the importance of seeking professional support before reaching burnout.Generation Lessons: Drawing on the simple, practical wisdom of our elders to find a sense of calm and happiness in the present day.The Power of Stillness: Why taking the time to stop, breathe, and journal is essential for understanding what you actually need, rather than what you think you should want.Authentic Boundaries: Practising the courage to say "no more" to the rat race to protect your own wellbeing and family life.Space for Renascence is about the journey of becoming who we are meant to be. We hope this conversation gives you the room to reflect on your own path and the quiet changes happening in your life.Connect with Rebecca Steele:Business: MayLuminate CoachingConnect with the Podcast:Host: Felicity WilliamsPodcast: Space for Renascence
