Reflection: Why I Stopped, Why I Started – A Story of Alignment and Intention
This solo episode is more than a reflection—it’s a deeply personal story of change. Kerryn Powell opens up about the burnout that forced her to step back from a long-held teaching career, and the journey that followed: navigating family, caregiving, growth, and ultimately launching Your Time Matters.
Sparked by a conversation with Nicky Miklos (author of Healthy Hustle), this episode explores what it means to live and work with alignment—and how to redefine productivity and success in a way that reflects who you really are.
It’s about more than managing time. It’s about making your time matter.
Why This Conversation Matters:
In this episode challenges you to pause. To reflect. And to realign. It reminds us that:
You can choose the pace and rhythm of your life.
Saying “no” is sometimes the healthiest “yes.”
Asking for help is not failure—it’s strategy.
Your roles and priorities will shift—and that’s okay.
Time is finite. Energy is precious. Use both wisely.
Key Learnings:
✅ Burnout isn’t a weakness—it’s a signal for change.
✅ “Healthy hustle” means aligning your work with your values.
✅ Weekly role reviews help you clarify where your time is going—and why.
✅ Delegation, boundaries and soulful pauses are essential time strategies.
✅ Defining what you want from life is the first step to designing it.
