In this episode, we vulnerably reflect on the turbulence we’ve both experienced this past month and how it’s impacting our nervous systems, our creativity, our productivity, and our sense of Self. We share our own journeys of discomfort and fear, and embrace the concept of pausing and slowing down to return in a more authentic way.

As we continue to deepen into cyclical embodiment, we both acknowledge that being in a season of slow down is normal and necessary despite societal conditioning telling us to push through. We share both the discomfort and expansion of paving our own ways.

As always our conversation pulls the threads of many different topics including:

  • Seeking so called “balance” between business and the ever changing phases of motherhood
  • Body image struggles
  • Mom guilt and self worth
  • Reframing burnout, shifting priorities, and embracing a season of self-tending
  • Redefining procrastination and leaning into your own creative process
  • Healing perfectionism and witnessing the embodied growth

We have no doubt that some part of this episode will be relatable or offer language to your own experience as you untangle the messy middle of motherhood or entrepreneurship. As always, we love to hear from you! DM us on IG and let us know what this episode stirs up for you.
