BONUS: When The World Slows Down

This is a quiet bonus episode—recorded in the middle of a winter storm, with no agenda and no rush. If your plans were canceled, school is closed, or the world feels unusually still, this episode is for you.
Karen reflects on the unexpected gift of a slowed-down day: cleared calendars, lowered expectations, and the permission to simply be. From soup on the stove and candles by the window to early bedtimes, extra grace, and letting go of productivity, this episode is a gentle reminder that presence matters more than perfection.
If the stillness feels uncomfortable, restless, or even unsettling, you’re not alone. This is an invitation to move at winter speed, to soften into the quiet, and to receive this pause for what it is—a small pocket of grace.
Settle in, take a breath, and listen in.
