There She Goes From TV Casting to Her Soft Power Era – with Hutton Salvatore

There She Goes Taking a Break (And Why I Don’t Regret It)

500 downloads. 15 episodes. 3 months in. My podcast was gaining momentum… and that’s exactly when I decided to take a break. In this episode, I’m sharing why. Not because I owed anyone an explanation; quite the opposite, actually. But because the response to my “There She Goes Taking a Break” post made me realize something important: we spend so much time seeing the highlight reels online that we forget there are whole lives happening behind the scenes. So this episode is a little different. No script. No guest. No polished lesson. Just a raw, honest conversation about what was happening behind the scenes in my life, how I chose rest over resentment, and why taking a break isn’t the same thing as quitting.  In this episode, I share what was going on across my corporate career, podcast, businesses, health journey, fertility journey, and personal life, and why I ultimately chose to prioritize my well-being over checking another box. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched too thin, stuck in comparison, or guilty for resting, this episode is for you 💖 Key Topics: • Why I took my first break from the podcast after 15 episodes • The difference between consistency and perfection • Continuing when nobody is watching, listening, or clapping • Why I created There She Goes and the community I hope to build • Returning from vacation to postponed interviews, increased responsibilities, and competing priorities • Navigating PCOS, fertility challenges, and prioritizing health • Learning to regulate my nervous system instead of pushing through burnout • The trap of comparing yourself to other women, especially on social media • Why we need to normalize breaks and stop expecting explanations • The possibility of betting on myself and pursuing entrepreneurship full-time • A reminder that there are whole lives happening behind the highlight reel 🥗 Quick Note about Hungryroot One of the tools helping me simplify healthy eating right now, especially in a busy season, is Hungryroot.  If you struggle keeping up with your own meal planning, feel free to use my referral link [https://www.hungryroot.com/r/EC6AKCTX] or code below to receive $50 off your first delivery of $100+: Referral Code: EC6AKCTX ⏱️ Timestamps 0:31 This episode is completely unscripted 2:54 Keep going even when no one is clapping, watching, or listening 3:46 Why I created this podcast and the kind of community I want to build 6:15 Returning from vacation to real life, postponed interviews, and competing priorities 8:39 Health, fertility, PCOS, and receiving a wake-up call from my fertility specialist 11:11 Choosing rest, regulating my nervous system, and redefining priorities 11:53 Comparison, self-criticism, and the pressure of social media 13:14 Why we need to normalize breaks and remember we’re more than what we post online 14:37 Considering entrepreneurship full-time and betting on myself again 16:21 You’re probably doing better than you think Follow @thereshegoesclub [https://www.instagram.com/thereshegoesclub] for updates and community events.
