40: When Life Forces a Pause: Health, Alignment, and Carrying the Right Things Into the New Year

Episode Summary

After an unexpected health setback and a necessary pause, I’m sharing what this season taught me about honesty, community, and choosing alignment over performance. This episode is a real reflection on letting go, asking for support, and being intentional about what we carry into the next chapter. If you’re navigating transition, burnout, or a reset, this one is for you.

Episode Notes

In this solo episode, I open up about a challenging health journey that forced me to slow down and reconsider how I was showing up in my work and life. I share what happened when I chose honesty and vulnerability with the One Handshake community and how their response became one of the most grounding and affirming experiences of the year.

We talk about permission: permission to pause, to let go of what no longer aligns, and to stop chasing “catching up.” As we head into a new year, this episode is an invitation to lead with health, build relationships rooted in alignment, and move forward with intention. Season 2 is coming, and I’m grateful to step into it together.

If you want in on some of that love and collaboration, you’re invited to explore the OH community - maybe check out an event or two.
