Quitting silences the dream. Pausing and pivoting refine it. In this raw and powerful conversation, clarity coach and entrepreneur Dominiece Clifton joins NatNat on the Lift OneSelf Podcast to unpack the emotional toll of burnout, the courage to pause without guilt, and the sacred difference between avoidance and true rest.
After three successful years of podcasting, Dominiece made the bold decision to pause her show—not out of failure, but to honor her nervous system, her role as a single mother, and her deeper alignment. In this episode, we explore:
- 🔥 How to tell the difference between burnout, freeze response, and soul-led rest
- 🔄 Why pivoting isn’t quitting—and how to reframe failure as feedback
- 💡 The nervous system signals that whisper before they scream
- ✨ The power of self-awareness and soul care routines for entrepreneurs and empaths
- 🤍 The hidden cost of people-pleasing, productivity culture, and performing strength
Whether you're an entrepreneur, healer, or heart-led human navigating transitions, this episode is a grounding permission slip to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your inner compass.
