[36] Pausing Was My Power Move: Why Doing Less Can Lead to So Much More

Melissa Janson Season 3 Episode 36

Have something to share? Text me—I’d love to hear from you!

Can we talk about the underrated magic of hitting the damn pause button? In this episode, I’m sharing why stepping back from all the things this year wasn’t just a choice—it was a power move. Spoiler: doing less doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. It means getting intentional, finding clarity, and coming back stronger and more aligned.

We’ll dive into the lessons I learned from taking a breather, how pausing helped me reset and rebuild, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is nothing at all. If you’re feeling burnt out, overcommitted, or like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel, this is your sign to slow down—guilt-free. Let’s chat about why less is often so much more.
