About this listen

Let us know if you would like to be our guest!

We share why pausing a dream is not failure but a strategy to protect it, and how to step back without starting over. With personal stories, a clear framework, and real talk on money, trust, and timing, we map a path to recover, regroup, and return stronger.

• reframing pause as preparation, not quitting
• naming the hard truth of empty tills and fatigue
• choosing a nine to five to protect the dream
• spotting red flags and trusting your gut
• practicing discernment to avoid costly detours
• a written audit of reality and drains
• a simple plan to shift resources and recover
• building support and guarding energy
• returning with focus right where you left off

If my message has ever encouraged you, if you found yourself nodding along or thinking differently because of something I've shared, I want to hear from you. I need to hear from you. Send me an email. Let me know. I promise I'll keep sharing my writing and encouragement directly with you.
