Unrushed: Less Stress, More Meaning is a podcast for professional women who know something about the way they are working or living needs attention — even if they’re not yet sure what needs to change.
I’m Ronél Pretorius, a Work-Life Alignment Coach with nearly three decades of corporate HR experience.
Here we have thoughtful, grounded conversations about work, stress, boundaries, career crossroads, changing priorities and the moments when the life you’ve built no longer feels quite as comfortable as it once did.
Some episodes offer practical strategies for navigating pressure and creating more space. Others invite you to slow down, question old assumptions and think more deeply about what matters now.
Because not every difficult season means you need a new career. And not every difficult season can be solved with better boundaries.
Sometimes you first need enough space to understand what is actually happening.
New episodes monthly.
