Episode 89: About harmony (and why I’m taking a sabbatical), with Elissa

podcast Dec 09, 2021

What does harmony mean to you? For me, it’s about living in alignment with and acceptance of all that’s going on.

In this last solo episode of the season, I share how - slowly but surely - over the past six months I’ve started really listening to the voice inside of me that’s letting me know I need a big break.

I’ll explain my plans to take a sabbatical and reflect on the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next. Here’s what I can trust: I know that by taking this step, I’m living in harmony with my inner truth. This episode is a vulnerable share and a pep talk to encourage you to live in harmony with your inner truth too.
