Oh, I love this one. I've actually written a guest post about my own experiences with slowing down - forced, more than desired - and what it's taught me these past few months and how it fits with the Noongar seasons where I live. Reading your post gave me even more reassurance that I'm absolutely where I'm meant to be. Love it! Thanks x

You just described what I’ve been experiencing with a slow-down and rethinking brought on by a series of health challenges that demanded my attention over the last 5 years. Having once being nicknamed the ”energizer bunny” by my friends, having to slow down and rethink my goals has caused me to run the gamut of emotions. I’ve felt frustrated, behind, stuck, sad, and unsure if I’m even on the right track anymore.

"What if the guilt you’ve been feeling isn’t meant to shame you but show you a different way?"

Ah, yes. Guilt and shame have been travel buddies for decades.

It's so good to find the different way and tfinallt ell the truth of it!

This is a soul-soothing post, Kat. Thank you 🤗

Such a deeply wise insight, Kat. That stillness is a teacher as much as momentum is. And that forward progress sometimes needs to give way to depth. Important truths can only be heard in that stillness. As always, you got this!

Another superb post, Kat. I've been feeling this lately. Been indulging in this graphic novel video game too. I'm enjoying it, losing myself in it. The storytelling, voice acting, and character drawings are superb. So I feel guilty for becoming obsessed with a video game graphic novel, yet it's been such a wonderful escape from the stressful and daunting life goals. Also, I'm feeling very inspired by the storytelling in this graphic novel game, that it gives me ideas for my articles and posts too, lol. It's relevant to my business as a fiction book coach!
