We live in a world where we&#8217;re always connected, always busy, and constantly pulled in a hundred different directions. That&#8217;s why I created <b data-path-to-node=\"11,8\" data-index-in-node=\"150\">Escape the Pace <\/b>as a gentle reminder that life isn&#8217;t a race, and you don&#8217;t have to keep running it like one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,9\">I\u2019m an author, visual artist, and Career Development Practitioner based on beautiful Vancouver Island. When I\u2019m not writing or creating art, you\u2019ll usually find me walking, hiking, or finding simple ways to unplug.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,10\">I believe that the smallest shifts like stepping away from your screen, stepping outside, or simply pausing to breathe can help us reconnect with what truly matters. No massive life overhauls. No pressure to do more.
