In this episode, Patricia shares the importance of going at your own pace during significant life transitions such as postpartum, injury, loss, or major changes. We discuss how life isn't a race and the benefits of slowing down, including better mental health and sustainable growth. We also examine the costs of not pacing yourself, like chronic stress and burnout, and why taking it slow can be a form of resistance against hustle culture. Finally, we provide practical tips on setting boundaries, managing goals, and seeking support to help you navigate life's changes more mindfully.

Julia Billings is a German national who moved to the US for work and stayed for love. She arrived in New York 5 years ago to start what she thought was going to be her dream career at the United Nations. She has worked as a recruiter, talent and leadership development professional in several roles in the international space and then became a mom – and all her priorities shifted. Instead of long hours in the office, she prefers spending them watching her daughter grow into her own little person. And instead of working for someone else’s vision, she is creating her own vision of helping moms thrive in this special season of their lives through her blog, peer group facilitation, and impactful life, career, and leadership coaching.

Lynne’s writing has appeared in 45th Parallel, Moment Magazine, Great Lakes Review, Saveur, the Chicago Tribune, Better Homes and Gardens, Midwest Living, the Detroit Free Press, Porridge Magazine, the Jewish Literary Journal, The Good Life Review, Hadassah Magazine, The Forward, Valiant Scribe, Story Unlikely, The Dillydoun Review, QuibbleLit, bioStories and YourTango, among many more publications.

A former Fulbright Specialist, Lynne graduated from University of Michigan (BA, Communications/English) and Goddard College (MFA, Writing) and earned a Certificate in Entrepreneurship from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program at Wayne State University.

Erin and Patricia discuss Erin’s gestational process toward her dream life and vision for her future. This was the first collaborative episode pre-recorded for Season 2, do we hope you enjoy the fruits of the early creative process, too!

About Erin (in her own words):

The beautiful life around me is not a mistake, and the miracle of my journey is in no way lost on me. From being nearly swallowed by addiction, chaos and trauma to walking a spiritual path of safety, ritual and love. I have learned to cultivate a new existence that is rooted in nurturing my body and mind, connecting with my own feminine embodiment, releasing guilt and shame and giving birth to my voice. All of this growth has led me in the direction of sharing those gifts with other women, and creating a way of merging that energy to help us stand in our power and own our stories. I’m growing this community in my business, space.s, and finding ways to continue to cultivate continued growth in my own life as a measure for the true potential of every woman to succeed.
