Unrushed: Less Stress, More Meaning is for high‑functioning individuals — especially those in demanding corporate roles — who seem to have it all together but quietly wonder if there’s a clearer, more grounded way to live and work.
If you’re successful, capable, and maybe a little exhausted… if you’ve ever sat in your car before walking into the office, taking one intentional breath before the day sweeps you up — this podcast is for you.
I’m your host, Ronél Pretorius — a Clarity & Direction Strategist with nearly three decades of corporate HR experience. I understand how constant pressure, over‑functioning, and the invisible emotional load can blur your sense of self and make it hard to know what truly matters next.
Each week, we slow down enough to think clearly again.
We explore the real inner landscape: boundaries, overwhelm, identity, decision‑making, meaning, and the quiet moments that help you reconnect with yourself.
This is about noticing what’s been draining you, remembering what feels true, and choosing a life that’s calmer, more intentional, and deeply meaningful.
The show is designed with women in mind, but anyone navigating the pressure to hold everything together will feel at home here.
New episodes weekly.
You don’t have to find clarity alone.

Have you noticed how quickly your world can shrink when you’re stressed? One minute you feel steady and in control… and the next, one email or unexpected request pulls you into tunnel vision.
Suddenly, all you can see is the problem in front of you — and everything else fades into the background.
In today’s episode of Unrushed: Less Stress, More Meaning, I explore why this happens, what it means for high-achievers in survival mode, and how to gently widen your perspective again when stress narrows your field of view.
