This episode is dear to my heart because it marks a gentle goodbye — not forever, but for now. I’m taking a break from the podcast (and Instagram too) to honor a deeper call within myself: to slow down, to retreat, and to turn more intentionally toward my spiritual practice.

Here are the ways you can reach me in the meantime:

Main Talking Points

• 🌿 Why I’m taking a sacred six-month pause from podcasting and Instagram, and what’s been stirring beneath the surface.

• 🧘‍♀️ The deepening of my Buddhist and meditation practice, and how that’s reshaping how I use my energy and time.

• 🔥 The burnout I didn’t want to admit, and the slow realization that “doing it all” was no longer sustainable.

• 💌 What happened when I told my community I needed a break — and the surprising wave of support that followed.

• ⚰️ How letting go mirrors a death process, and what Buddhist teachings on dying have shown me about lightening our attachments.

• 🌙 The power of seasonal living, inner alignment, and creating space to hear the truth of your own needs.

• 🌺 An invitation to reflect on your own sacred pause — and what you might need to release or retreat from right now.

Thank you so much for walking this path with me. I’ll be back — but for now, I hope this episode can be a gentle companion as you honor your own inner seasons. 💛
