Sometimes we choose a pause.  Sometimes it’s forced upon us.  For those of us with chronic illness, we don’t really have a choice.   We have to take step back – OK fine – a giant leap back – from our lives sometimes, and this can often make us feel stuck and like our life is on an infinite pause.

But what if we saw it less as being stuck, and more of an opportunity to take in what we were previously unable to observe in our comfortable living?

In this episode, I explore a brief pause I took from social media, as well as the positive ways chronic illness forced me into myself.
