There are times when life and podcasting asks us to take a step back, reassess, and then make the necessary changes that align with our energy and priorities. In this solo episode, I share all about the experiment that I have been running – releasing weekly episodes – and the lessons I have learned about passion, sustainability, my energy management and most of all honouring my own pace.

Inspired by Bon Jovi’s Keep the Faith, I ponder how this amazing song connects to my own resilience, personal growth and also how to navigate my personal life’s constant shifts. I also share a very powerful Bon Jovi concert memory, which reminds me why music holds such an incredible space in our lives.

🎵 In this episode, I talk about:
✔️ The reality of maintaining a weekly podcast schedule as an introvert
✔️ Why I’m shifting to a fortnightly release and what that means moving forward
✔️ How Keep the Faith continues to inspire me (and why it might inspire you, too!)
✔️ A challenge for you: What’s your resilience song?

Music has a way of reminding us to trust the process, even when things don’t go as planned. So, what’s a song that helps you keep the faith? Let’s talk about it!
