Dr. Lisa Belisle, physician, writer, and host of Radio Maine, returns with a deeply personal solo episode exploring the rhythms that shape our inner and creative lives. Drawing on her experience in medicine, motherhood, and writing, Dr. Belisle reflects on the power of slowing down, honoring transitions, and reconnecting with the quiet wisdom within us. She weaves insights from traditional Chinese medicine with her own stories of long runs through the woods, tea-filled mornings, and the cyclical nature of creativity. Inspired by artist Emma Ballou and conversations with others in the Portland Art Gallery community, she invites us to reimagine rest not as retreat—but as return. Whether you're navigating change or simply feeling out of step, this episode offers a gentle and grounding reminder: you're not falling behind, you're coming home.
