Let us know what you enjoy about the show!
We’re all moving so fast — planning ahead, rushing toward the next thing, trying to get it all right. But what if the clarity we’re searching for only arrives when we slow down long enough to notice what’s right in front of us?
In this episode, Lisa narrates Leo Tolstoy’s beloved parable “The Three Questions” — a timeless story that reveals the power of presence, the wisdom of tending to this moment, and the truth that the “right time” is rarely somewhere in the future…it’s now.
After the story, Lisa offers a reflective breakdown exploring:
✨ Why slowing down is a strategy, not a setback
✨ How presence sharpens clarity
✨ Why the right people are often the ones who are already here
✨ What it means to tend to the moment you’re actually in
✨ How energetic choice influences every decision we make
This is a grounding, spacious listen — perfect for a walk, a cup of tea, or any moment you need to reconnect with yourself.
