Hello, dear listeners, and welcome to Inner Work, a Spiritual Growth podcast.

I'm your host, Josephine, a second-generation intuitive healer, an English PhD, who taught college

for nine years before transitioning to spiritual work full-time.

I now specialize in helping type A and highly sensitive women, including empaths,

let go of perfectionism, release shame, and transform their inner critics into inner allies.

And now, on to the show.

Hello, dear listeners, and welcome to a new episode of Inner Work.

Before we dive into our topic for today, I wanted to say a few words of gratitude for those of you who have left reviews or ratings or both for this podcast on iTunes.

This is so helpful in getting the podcast out there and seen and heard by more people.

So I'm so grateful.

And if you have gotten any value out of an episode, I would so appreciate you doing this as well and leaving either a review or a rating or both because this is truly what keeps the podcast alive and it's totally free and it only takes a few minutes.

So thank you so much in advance for supporting me and inner work.

Okay, so as you can probably hear in my voice, I am recovering from a cold.

And this is actually what inspired me to talk about today's topic, which is slowing down.

As I'm sure you've experienced at some point in your life, There are times when the universe has a way of

forcing us to slow down, right? Especially if we neglect our self-care. And this is exactly what

happened to me last week. So I got sick and I was forced to sit still and do nothing for a few

days. Now, obviously, we don't have to wait

until we get sick or we get depressed or something really drastic happens to take care of

ourselves. Unfortunately, sometimes we still learn that way, but it doesn't have to be that way.
