The Waiting Season

Brooke Hemingway Season 2 Episode 10

Have you ever felt like nothing is happening—like you’re stuck, uncertain, or maybe even forgotten? I’ve been there. In this episode, I’m opening up about what I call “the waiting season.” I’ve had seasons of massive momentum where everything felt golden, and I’ve had seasons where it felt like nothing was moving, and all the doubts started to creep in.

If you’ve been wondering if your waiting means something’s gone wrong, I want to invite you into a new perspective. The waiting season isn’t a punishment—it’s a preparation. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned through my own slower seasons, and how they’ve grown me in ways that wild momentum never could.

Here’s what I’m diving into:

  • How to do a powerful pulse check on your path and the people walking with you
  • Why disconnection from your deeper “why” might be the real block
  • The importance of rekindling your vision and letting it come alive again
  • The hidden gifts inside slower seasons that are easy to miss
  • What it really means to be ready for the next level (and what to do while you wait)

This one’s honest, hope-filled, and packed with reminders that your season is sacred—even if it’s not what you planned. Let’s stop striving and start stewarding.


Journaling Prompts from the Episode:

Key Quotes:
