What do you do when life sucker punches you?
In this episode of "Consider" the Possibilities with Monique de Maio, we’re talking about how to get back up when you’ve been knocked flat. Whether it's grief, burnout, illness, or just a full-body "meh," this is your blueprint for moving forward with grace—and grit.
Key Takeaways:
→ Momentum doesn’t always look like speed—it can be showing up at all.
→ There’s no shame in pausing. But don’t get stuck.
→ Baby steps > no steps. Don’t wait for the big comeback. Just begin.
→ Create your own “permission slip” to rest and to restart.
→ When everything feels heavy, simplify your wins. Start small. Rebuild slow.
🎧 Hit play if you’ve ever felt stuck, stalled, or like life hit the brakes—and you’re ready to find your way back.
