Another read that resonates. A lot of us focus on the next without pausing to reflect on the current state and how you got to now. That pause and reflection can have a huge impact on how you’ll move forward and provide the insight to do so.

I could not agree more Andrew! It’s been a focus of mine since I have been known to hustle on to the next thing but not this season or the ones after. I have a really amazing partner and his presence and advice reminds me to find the balance between ambition, pause and reflection. I appreciate you immensely 😍👏🏾🙏🏾

Love this! A reminder that I do need to spend more time in celebrating my accomplishments. Beautiful reflection, in words and your image.

Yes I feel that we don’t give ourselves enough credit on our own terms. I often feel we are seeking that credit from others but I am finding the most profound credit I am getting the most fulfillment is my own. The external credit seems to follow like Dominoes from there.

Biggest hugs 🫂 Julia. I love your spirit and soul.

1,000% Marc! I am firmly holding the line of this way of existing. It’s so important to be able to slow down and let milestones sink in and marinate for a bit.
