## Resource

Hello and welcome back to Nevertheless, Shlee Persisted! In this week's episode, I’m getting real about where I’m at — the gratitude, the exhaustion, the ice cream, and everything in between. With my contract wrapping up, I reflect on the highs and lows of this chapter, the quiet loss (and quiet return) of my sparkle, and what it means to prioritize joy, rest, and real life. From company bagel day to planning a wedding, this episode is a gentle reminder that stepping back doesn’t mean stepping away — it’s just making space for what matters. Come for the vibes, stay for the chat! As always, you can find me on Instagram @neverthelessshleepersisted xoxo
