Inspired by the work of Lee Holden and his book Ready, Set, Slow, this episode invites listeners to pause and reconnect with the present moment. Dr. Misty Rhoads begins with a gentle inquiry meditation that helps us notice where we are physically, mentally, and emotionally before moving into simple mindfulness practices that can be woven into everyday life. Through intentional awareness during our mornings, meals, and daily routines, listeners explore how slowing down can restore energy, sharpen focus, and create a more sustainable rhythm for living and working. Rather than pushing harder to be productive, this episode offers a grounded path toward efficiency that honors the body, calms the nervous system, and reduces burnout.
