Imagine harnessing the power of delay to bring you closer to the life you crave, especially in your second act. It’s magic – dare I say, manifestation magic.
The Journey of Self-Discovery
I took an intentional three-year hiatus to focus entirely on personal development. Healing after my divorce was tough, but it was during this phase that I discovered the transformative power of mindful procrastination. Instead of forcing myself to be perpetually busy, I allowed myself pockets of intentional delay – and oh, what a difference it made!
