What will happen if I slow down?

For several years, I sent out a blog to readers a few times a week. These posts gave pointers about how to practice, shared relevant stories, and provided a way for people to connect with my coaching approach. In 2022, I wrote my book, Before You Say Anything, which brought many of these ideas together in one place. The blog posts have continued to resonate with clients and readers, and they're useful as a quick reminder, so I'm including them here!

Did you ever have one of those days? A lot to do, a lot that I’m excited about, and it’s all making me move a little too fast. I can’t even type without tripping over my fingers.

What if, and stay with me here, the power of our great work is in slowing down? What if we actually cannot do the work we’re capable of when we’re in overdrive? And when we choose not to slow down, when we keep saying “yes” and squeezing more and more into our packed calendars…what are we losing out on? What are we afraid will show up if we make space for the “fertile void”?
