Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Unrushed: Less Stress, More Meaning, I take inspiration from the most unlikely of teachers — a donkey named Josef. Far from being stubborn or slow, Josef reveals surprising lessons about resilience, protection, connection and the quiet strength of boundaries.Through his role as protector of a cattle herd, Josef shows us:Why protecting others, as well as your time and energy, is not a weakness but a strength.How boundaries help you hold the line without shutting people out.The truth is that connection builds resilience, because we’re not meant to carry everything alone.This reflective conversation invites you to pause and ask: Who’s in your herd? Who supports you, and how do you show up for them in return?If you’ve been carrying too much on your own, this episode is your gentle reminder that even the strongest among us need a trusted circle.💬 Book your 30-minute free, no obligation clarity call here.🎧 Follow Unrushed: Less Stress, More Meaning so you don't miss the next episode!➡️ Subscribe to Newsletter: Do you want weekly inspiration and tips right in your inbox?
