Ep 50 - The Myth of Constant Growth: Why Rest, Pause & Simply Being Are Sacred

Kayleigh Priest Season 3 Episode 50

We’ve been told growth should be constant — more money, more achievements, more healing, more upgrades. But here’s the truth: life doesn’t work like that. The land lies fallow, the goddess rests, the seasons spiral. Growth is cyclical, not linear.

In this episode, I explore The Myth of Constant Growth — and why your pauses, your quiet seasons, and your sacred moments of simply being are just as powerful as blooming and harvesting.

Together we’ll unravel the toxic belief that slowing down means failure, and instead reframe it through myth, story, and seasonal wisdom. From Demeter and Persephone to the reminder that spring never rushes to summer, we’ll reclaim the beauty of cycles and the magic in the present moment.

✨ You’ll learn:

  • Why constant growth is a damaging cultural myth
  • The seasonal + mythic wisdom that teaches us cycles are sacred
  • How to embrace rest, pause, and being without guilt
  • Gentle reflection prompts to help you honour the season you’re in

If you’re ready to stop pushing and start living in rhythm with your own soul, this episode is your permission slip.
