MOTM #650: Pausing, Pacing, Curiosity, Compassion

Monday, February 3rd, 2025

January lasted approximately eleventy-billion years, and it got me thinking. All of this (imagine me gesturing wildly to our lives and the state of the world right now) is a marathon, not a sprint. Life isn’t magically going to get better for us, so if we want to keep going—and we need to!—then it’s more important than ever to pause, to page ourselves, to view the world with curiosity, and to have compassion for ourselves and others. “I told you so,” feels good, but it’s not going to make shit better. That’s up to us.

Let’s chat.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I hope this podcast inspires you to make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.
