Episode 21: Biz Cush on Slowing Down
It’s time to take a break. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth Cush talks about taking a summer break from the podcast—and why you might want to give yourself a break, too.
“So many of us are programmed to just keep going—doing, doing, doing.” ”
Show Notes:
Summer is coming to the northern hemisphere. It’s a time when schools let out, people plan vacations to the mountains or the shore, and the pace seems to slow down as the weather warms up. Even the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast will put new episodes on hold for a while. What about you? Are you able to take a break, to step out of the action and rest? To take time to meditate? Go on retreat? Or even just spend some quiet time with your loved ones doing nothing in particular? Or do you feel driven to keep doing instead of just being? In this final episode of the podcast before summer break, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, talks about what’s in store when the podcast returns in the fall. She also talks about why it’s important for all of us to give ourselves a break once in a while, especially if we are highly sensitive people and shares her experiences with learning to slow down—and the benefits of learning to relax and let go. You’ll also hear from Jennifer O’Sullivan, a yoga and mindfulness instructor in northern Virginia, who will talk about what makes a wise woman, the practices that have. helped her connect with her wisdom and a powerful message for midlife women.
