Stop waiting for permission.
You have spent long enough waiting for someone to say it is okay to slow down, want more, and start over. Here is your official notice: you do not need them. Take the pen.
The idea
A permission slip is a small piece of paper that says you are allowed.
I spent years waiting for someone to say it was okay to rest, to want things, to change my mind. Nobody said it. So I gave it to myself, one permission slip at a time. I figured other women were standing around waiting too. Not for me to hand them permission. For the reminder that they never needed anyone's to begin with.

The woman behind it
I am Josie. I built the thing I needed.
I once spent three hours color coding a closet to avoid one honest journal entry. Very productive. Completely useless. That was the pattern for years. My Permission Slips is what happened when I finally put down the label maker and picked up the pen.
The permission you are waiting for is yours to give.
