Welcome back to Behind the Fold. As I sit here just weeks away from welcoming baby number two, I’m navigating a very tender space—the in-between of ambition and presence. This isn’t about giving up, it’s about pressing pause with purpose. If you’re currently torn between slowing down and chasing big dreams, I hope this conversation can offer you the clarity and comfort to honor your current season without guilt.
In this episode, I talk about:
- 00:43 - The surprising emotional tug-of-war between ambition and presence as I prepare for maternity leave.
- 05:47 - Why slowing down doesn’t mean giving up and how this pause is rooted in purpose, not failure.
- 07:23 - The pressure of unrealistic timelines, comparison traps, and learning to honor your own rhythm.
- 11:34 - Embracing the pause and intentionally choosing stillness to reconnect, reflect, and let what’s next unfold naturally.
- 17:45 - Navigating my fears around stillness and the unknown as baby number two approaches, and how life transitions can shift your perspective and reignite creativity.
Ambition doesn’t have an expiry date. Whether you’re in a pause, a pivot, or pushing forward, you’re still wildly worthy. If this episode resonated, share it with a fellow mama or dreamer. Leave a rating or review, and let’s keep building this honest, supportive space together.
