Timeouts: How Stillness Becomes the Source of Progress | Fabulous After 50
Julie Kennedy and guest Sharon J. Crabbe discuss Julie’s rebooted podcast and new “Timeout” program, created after her writing/editing work was heavily impacted by AI and she felt overwhelmed by constant digital noise and world Stress. Julie shares how self-led silent retreats helped her realize people need less stimulation and more pockets of quiet to hear themselves, leading to daily “Tiny Timeouts” newsletters plus online and in-person options: one-on-one and group silent timeout sessions (with an initial download, camera-on silence, and brief reflection), and “Talk It Out” sessions as Coaching-light mentoring/sparring to find one practical next step. They explore how breaks boost creativity, why being heard matters, and offer three tips: the pause isn’t empty, step outside noise to think clearly, and use nature to reset.
