✨What Happens When You Stop, On Purpose?
We live in a world that glorifies hustle, speed, and constant output. But what if
your next big breakthrough actually comes after a pause?
In this inspiring podcast episode, I sit down with Karen Chong to share my
journey from burnout and hyperacusis to finding deep clarity and purpose
through mindfulness. We explore why silence often feels uncomfortable –
and why we need it more than ever.
💡Together, we dive into:
🌿The neuroscience of why stillness can feel unsettling – and how to embrace it
🌿How intentional pauses shift you from reacting to reflecting
🌿The role of mindfulness in leadership, creativity, and decision-making
🌿Surprising ways stillness improves your communication and presence
🌿What silence taught me – and how it transformed my life
We also talk about how “being busy” can become a shield we hide behind. You don’t need to escape to a cabin in the woods or silence your entire life to feel the benefits. Even micro-pauses – 30 seconds between meetings, a breath before responding – can reset your nervous system and bring you back to center.
If you’re feeling overstimulated, stuck, or just a little off, this conversation is your gentle (but powerful) reminder that sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is simply pause.
