Episode 2: Hurry Up and Slow Down

Show Notes:
In Episode 2 of Beyond the Bell, we’re taking a moment to slow things down—literally and figuratively. In our fast-paced, over-scheduled world, slowing down feels counterintuitive, but it’s essential for living a meaningful and sustainable life.

I share a personal story about recognizing the need to walk—both literally and figuratively—at a slower pace and explore how the pressures of teaching can often push us toward “hurry sickness.” Inspired by John Mark Comer’s The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, this episode dives into practical steps you can take to create more margin, embrace imperfection, and prioritize what truly matters.

What You’ll Learn:

• How “hurry sickness” affects our well-being.
• Why slowing down doesn’t mean giving up—it means showing up better for what’s important.
• 5 practical steps to begin living more intentionally: prioritizing, saying no, unplugging, creating margin, and embracing imperfection.

This episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and find ways to enjoy the moments that make life meaningful.
