Description

We've been taught that slowing down means falling behind. That if you pause, you're quitting. That momentum only counts if you're constantly doing. This episode gently dismantles that lie. In Stillness as a Strategy, we talk about how stillness isn't stopping your life—it's letting your life catch up to you. How slowing down isn't a failure of discipline, but often a sign of wisdom. And how listening to yourself might be the most strategic move you can make when everything feels loud, heavy, or rushed. This conversation is for the ones who are tired of pushing, forcing, and powering through—yet don't want to give up on growth. It's about learning the difference between stagnation and intentional pause… and trusting that sometimes the most powerful progress happens when you stop running long enough to hear yourself again. You're not behind. You're not lazy. You might just be overdue for stillness.
