Welcome to Inspiring Possible with Christy Pennison, therapist, dream consultant, and former “stuck person” turned believer in what’s possible.
As we head into November, Christy reflects on how quickly the year has flown by—and how this season has brought her into a new rhythm: one of intentional slowing down. In previous years, pausing was something she did out of burnout and necessity. But this year, she’s embracing a purposeful pause, learning the power of slowing down before life forces you to.
In this first installment of her new solo series, Christy introduces the Three P’s of Possible — Ponder, Pause, and Pursue.
This episode centers on the first “P”: Pondering — the art of creating space for reflection, clarity, and inner listening.
Christy shares a transformative story from a recent leadership retreat, where she and a group of Louisiana entrepreneurs were challenged to sit in complete silence for an hour. Though it was uncomfortable at first, the experience brought powerful insight and calm. One reflection question in particular struck her deeply:
“If you had six months to live, what would you need to do, want to do, and not waste time doing?”
That single prompt cut through the noise and reminded her—and now reminds us—that clarity often follows stillness.
Christy invites listeners to schedule their own moment of pondering this week:
- 30 minutes of quiet time (no phone, no distractions)
- Ask yourself: What’s been feeling heavy or unsettled lately? What have I been avoiding thinking about?
- Or simply write freely and let your thoughts guide you toward what matters most right now.
She also shares how this practice of reflection has impacted her own team at Be Inspired Counseling and Consulting, helping them gain clarity and reconnect with their purpose.
Whether you’re in a busy season or longing for more peace, this episode is your reminder to slow down and listen—to your heart, to your thoughts, and to what life might be quietly trying to tell you.
