About this listen
Healing isn’t linear. Growth isn’t something you can rush. And yet most people are living like life is a race they’re terrified of losing.
In this episode, Dana breaks down the culture of constant forward motion—rushing to heal, rushing to hit goals, rushing to accomplish more—only to barely acknowledge the wins before moving straight to the next thing. From career milestones to personal growth to everyday life, she explores how achievement has become a treadmill instead of a moment worth feeling.
This conversation isn’t about losing ambition—it’s about learning how to slow down long enough for your nervous system to register safety, pride, and joy. Dana unpacks the cost of always being in a hurry, how rushing keeps the body in survival mode, and why sitting with your accomplishments is just as important as achieving them.
Whether it shows up in work, healing, relationships, or motherhood, this episode is a reminder that life is meant to be lived, not rushed through. Slowing down isn’t quitting—it’s choosing presence, regulation, and a deeper experience of the journey you’re already on.
As always, have a great fucking day and remember you are entirely up to you.
