About This Episode

Have you ever felt the pressure to keep going when everything in your body is telling you to pause? You're not alone. In a letter to future herself, our host Lisa Tarkington, talks how she plans to prepare for maternity leave and a temporary podcast hiatus. This isn't a goodbye – it's a transformation in progress.

Whether you're navigating parenthood, career transitions, or simply feeling burnout creeping in, this episode offers a gentle reminder that your identity isn't tied to what you produce.

The letter unpacks how we can lead powerfully from the background, reconnect with playfulness, and stay grounded in core values during major life shifts.
