Episode notes
What if the setback you're experiencing isn't taking you backwards... but preparing you for your next evolution?
In this raw and real episode, Donna shares her personal experience of being forced to slow down due to injury - and the unexpected identity shift that came with it. This is a heart-led reminder that transformation isn’t a straight line, and healing doesn’t always look the way we expect.
Together, we explore the deeper truth behind burnout, rest, self-worth, and redefining who you are when life asks you to pause. Because growth doesn’t just happen in the doing… it also lives in the undoing.
If you’re navigating change, feeling stuck, or struggling with what it means to ‘rest’ - this one’s for you.
