Feeling a little off—even when everything seems joyful and full?
You’re not alone. In this softer, more personal episode, I’m opening up from my living room (yes, not the usual recording space!) about what it means to feel ungrounded even in the midst of joy. This season of life has been full—travel, speaking, retreats, my daughter home from college—and I’m sharing how a sweet little puppy named Winnie has become the unexpected anchor I didn’t know I needed.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re rushing through life, even the good parts, this one’s for you.

In this episode:

• Why joy and burnout can sometimes co-exist
• The subtle signs you're out of sync with your own rhythm
• How my daughter’s return home sparked a needed pause
• The very intentional (and slightly wild) decision to adopt a puppy
• How slowing down is a radical act of self-alignment
• The unexpected ways rest restores us in midlife
• Why you don’t have to “earn” your joy
