“I used to think consistency was the holy grail — that if I just kept going, I'd earn my way into alignment. But what I've come to unlearn is this: when rhythm breaks, it's not always a failure. Sometimes it's divine intervention.”
In this episode of The Unlearning Curve, I’m sharing the truth behind my unexpected podcast hiatus — not just a pause, but a powerful realignment. This is the conversation for every woman who’s been overdelivering, pushing through, and performing under pressure… all while quietly unraveling inside.
Together, we’ll explore:
Why hustle culture is so seductive (and so destructive)
What consistency really means in your second season of life
The link between nervous system burnout and creative shutdown
How universal timing, external redirection, and internal truth forced me to recalibrate
What sovereignty sounds like when it returns to the mic
💬 “I didn’t plan this break — I was called into it. By my body, by life, by something bigger than my own will.”
Whether you’re navigating burnout, redefining success, or craving a rhythm that finally feels like yours, this episode is a permission slip to pause — and rebuild from truth, not trauma.
🎧 Takeaway: You’ll leave with language, resonance, and tools to unlearn performance culture, reclaim your rhythm, and rise on your own timing.
