Today’s episode is inspired by a few comments I received after I shared on Instagram that I am a slow processor. Several of you raised your hand and said you are slow processors too and it’s good to hear from someone like me who continues to put content out weekly and seems to be a functioning human adult person but that I too am someone who thinks slow.
Is there room for slow processing in this fast moving world? How can we make thoughtful decisions when everything moves so fast? Listen in.

July 21, 2020 at 4:25 PMThank you. I needed the reassurance that slow processing isn’t inadequate, just different – I realized recently that I need time to process information, to put all the pieces in the right spots. If I respond quickly without listening to my “intuition”, the answer is inevitably incorrect. I’m married to someone who inhales information and processes it immediately. As a result I have been feeling like who I am isn’t as valuable. However, I believe I need to listen to my intuition if a response is needed immediately or give myself grace if I have time to make a decision.
I’ve been listening to your podcasts for a couple months now and they have really helped me focus when I don’t know what to do next. And they gave me another building block in my confidence to start my own business. I’m so glad your podcast came to my attention.
