Welcome to One Bite — a short monthly voice note to help you slow down, reflect, and realign before your next big jump.Can doing work you love ever get too much?This month’s check-in is a gentle reflection on that exact lesson.I went for a break, thinking I’d rest and finish my Substack, record content, edit posts… but my body had other plans.Back pain. Fatigue. Resistance to even the things I love the most.So I paused. And what came through surprised me: Even the work we adore can sometimes keep us stuck in a cycle of output.True rest isn’t just time off — it’s time in. A moment to remember who we are underneath the doing.And sometimes, stepping back doesn’t mean you’re off-track. It means you’re finally in rhythm with yourself.This episode is for anyone who’s been feeling tired for no reason, questioning their pace, or needing permission to unplug — even from what brings them joy.And it pairs beautifully with my last month's conversation with Katie Mantwa George on career transitions and how to feel in your body if you're ready.Tune in to this 5-min voice note for a soft reset. And let me know…Have you been doing too much of what you love lately?You can find me on IG @lifewelllived.by.hv for more daily musings and insights!
