In this very first episode of Itan Ife, I share one of the biggest and most emotional decisions of my life—taking a long, indefinite break from writing and self-publishing.

Writing has been my constant companion, my creative outlet, and a big part of who I am. But when the joy started to fade, replaced by burnout and pressure, I knew it was time to pause, reflect, and prioritize my mental health and growth.

I talk about the struggles that led to this decision, the fear of letting go, and why stepping back sometimes feels like the only way forward. I also share an apology to my readers and a promise to return when the time is right—with stories that are worth the wait.
