Why Slowing Down Wins: Lessons from a Month of Intentional Disconnection
Join Taylor Welch in this episode of TWC Talks Podcast as he opens up about what really happens when you step off the treadmill of productivity and take time to think. After intentionally taking June off to slow down, reflect, and reset, Taylor shares the lessons that emerged—not from hustle, but from stillness. He unpacks how our addiction to applause, affirmation, and audience feedback quietly robs us of clarity, creativity, and personal power.
Drawing from both psychological insight and lived experience, Taylor explores the hidden cost of caring too much about what others think and how to reframe your relationship with social media, feedback loops, and dopamine hits so that your identity isn’t determined by performance metrics.
Whether you’re a coach, a consultant, or a creator in a hyper-connected world, this episode will challenge you to detox from the addiction to “being seen” and anchor your business in something deeper than metrics. It’s not about disappearing—it’s about rediscovering who you are when no one’s watching. Let’s get into it!
