Have you ever felt like slowing down might cost you everything? Like if you take a break, the momentum will disappear, the clients will stop coming, and the money will dry up? You’re not alone. I recently faced this fear myself—and what it revealed to me about my nervous system, hustle patterns, and relationship with money completely changed the way I see rest. In this episode of The Couragecast, we’re diving into:

• Why pausing or taking a break feels so unsafe for many entrepreneurs
• What my summer slowdown revealed about my nervous system + money stories
• How to create natural rhythms in your life and business without losing momentum
• The key role nervous system regulation plays in sustainable success

I’ll share my personal story of stepping back from teaching and podcasting, and how that opened space for deeper alignment, flow, and divine inspiration. If you’ve ever worried that rest equals failure, this conversation will shift how you view breaks, hustle, and abundance.
