The bloated pause of motherhood

...& in your work, relationships & living situations

In this 12 minute segment, I share my resistance to being unproductive as of late - which centers around a lightbulb moment related to pauses that life sometimes force on us.

From having to pause washing the dishes due to an upset baby, to having to pause quitting your jobs due to bills you have to pay, to pause on ending a relationship because you are scared of being alone — we have all experienced a bloated pause.

Learn how I am choosing to go from being a victim of the pause to following my desires.

Topics covered:

  • A hello & a ramble on how it is a beautifully sunny winter day

  • My frustration and disappointment around still being attached to being productive

  • My discomfort with embracing unproductivity as the path to self actualization — and how that led me to the “aha moment” of the bloated pause

  • How waiting, inefficiency & unproductivity are at the center of the bloated pause

  • Exploring the body’s desire vs the mind’s duty

  • And of course, how I believe being selfish is always a good thing

I hope you enjoy 💃🏽
