68. Part 1: On Intentionally Living & Working with Pace with Kathy Oneto & Wade Brill

Overview

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend, Wade Brill, who was on the podcast with me early on in Episode 5. Wade is a Mindfulness Coach, Podcaster, and Speaker.

Wade and I got together to discuss Pace, a topic we’re passionate about as it shows up in the work that we both do. If you’ve been listening to the podcast, you know that I’ve talked about pace on a few other episodes in the past year: Episode 52: On Setting Your Own Pace and Episode 39 on Rethinking & Shaping Your Time.

We thought it would be interesting to explore this topic further and share our own experiences working with and experiencing pace.

This is the first episode where we talk about how we define pace and what works for each of us around a slow or fast pace and when it feels right. We close with some tips on what works for us in working with pace. Perhaps you’ll get inspired to try some of our practices and see what works best for you. We hope at minimum that we raise awareness for you of the power of thinking about pace and being intentional with pace both in your daily experiences and how you manage your personal and professional ambitions.

Wade - I always love being in conversation with you. 😊 And thank you for being one of my guides on my own journey of Sustainable Ambition, often reminding me to get centered and be thoughtful about my own pace.
