She's Interesting with Rashel Hariri Rashel Hariri

In this week's episode of "She's Interesting," I'm diving into the often overlooked but crucial step in any growth journey: pausing and reflecting. Before we can truly level up in our personal or professional lives, it's essential to take a moment to assess where we are, understand our progress, and prepare for the next steps.

Join me, Rashel Hariri, as I explore the power of pausing, the importance of reflection, and how granting yourself the permission to pause can lead to greater clarity and more impactful growth. We'll discuss practical strategies to work into your routine and how this practice can set you up for long-term success.

In this episode, I also share the three things I'm doing to help me level up:
1/ Planning for my future self
2/ Actively working to be in the present
3/ Only using social media to benefit me

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a professional on the rise, or someone looking to make meaningful changes, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and learn how to embrace the pause and set the stage for your next big leap.
