A Small Return
A Life That Lets Me Breathe Podcast
Hi there!
Over the past year, something has been quietly changing. Not all at once. More like a slow unfolding. A remembering.
I’ve been simplifying. Listening more closely. Paying attention to what feels nourishing and alive - and gently letting go of what doesn’t.
I’ve spent more time painting. More time walking. More time creating books. More time asking myself what kind of life I actually want to build.
Again and again, I kept returning to the same question:
What would it look like to create a life that lets me breathe?
That question eventually became a book project. Then a deeper creative philosophy. And now, it’s becoming the heart of a new season of my podcast and writing.
So after a quiet pause, the podcast is returning! But not exactly as it was before.
Less teaching. Less interviews. Less feeling like I need to have everything figured out.
More stories. More wonder. More honest conversations. More field notes from a life that is still being lived, explored, and discovered.
The podcast will now live under the name:
A Life That Lets Me Breathe
Each episode will be a gentle exploration of creativity, authenticity, nature, beauty, intuition, storytelling, and the everyday moments that help us return to ourselves.
Some episodes may begin on a walk. Some may begin with a painting. Some may begin with a question I can’t stop thinking about. Some will include conversations with dear friends.
But all of them will begin in the same place:
Curiosity. Presence. And a desire to create something meaningful together.
Alongside the podcast, I’ll also be sharing more reflections here on Substack - pieces of writing, poems, stories, creative experiments, book notes, and observations from the path.
Not because I have arrived somewhere. But because I think many of us are longing for a different conversation.
One that leaves a little more room for beauty. A little more room for wonder. A little more room to breathe.
I’m grateful you’re here. And I’m excited to begin again.
With love,
Shannon
