Taking Time to Pause & Recharge: Why Rest is the Secret Ingredient to Growth & Abundance

If you’ve been following my work for a while, you know I’m a big believer in the power of Practicing the Pause. It’s not just a cute phrase or a wellness buzzword - it’s an essential practice for living and working in alignment with your mind, body, and soul.
From August 15th to September 15th, 2025, I’ll be taking my own medicine. I’m stepping back, recharging, and giving myself permission to rest deeply. It’s time to slow down the to-do list, savor the moments, and allow space for new inspiration to flow. I can't wait!
Why the Pause Matters
In our culture, rest often takes a back seat to productivity. We fill our days with commitments, deadlines, and obligations, forgetting that our bodies and minds aren’t designed to be “on” all the time.
When we give ourselves the gift of a pause, we:
Reset our nervous system ~ Helping to shift out of stress mode and into a state of ease.
Boost creativity ~ New ideas need quiet space to germinate and grow.
Reconnect with ourselves ~ Without the noise, we can hear our inner guidance more clearly.
Restore energy ~ So we can return to our work and relationships with vitality.
Pausing isn’t about losing momentum ~ it’s about making sure the momentum you have is truly sustainable for your growth & abundance!
How I will Be Pausing...
For me, this break will be part travel, part stillness, and part creation. I’ll be spending time away from my desk and deep in experiences that nourish me ~ exploring new places, lingering over meals, enjoying vino, laughing with friends, loved ones, and journaling ideas for my new upcoming program (stay tuned!).
It’s not about mastering the art of doing nothing ~ La Dolce Vita ~ it’s about embracing the Pause and choosing to do everything with presence.
Your Turn to Pause: While I’m away, I invite you to create your own version of Practicing your Pause. Here are a few simple ways to begin:
Explore my free masterclasses and programs ~ Each one offers bite-sized, impactful practices you can easily weave into your day.
Journal with intention ~ Reflect on prompts, tools, and personal stories that spark deeper self-awareness and mindful living.
Host your own mini retreat at home ~ Unplug for a few hours, spend time in nature, or immerse yourself in an activity that deeply nourishes your soul.
Because I know the magic that happens when we step away from the noise, I’ve created a
Mini Retreat: Practice the Pause ~ a simple yet powerful self-led experience you can do at home or in a quiet getaway spot.
Mini Retreat: Practice the Pause
Your mini retreat might include:
A tech-free morning ~ What!!! trust me it feels amazing! No phone, no emails, just you and your thoughts.
Gentle movement ~Yoga, stretching, or a slow mindful walk. Take 2 minutes, 10 minutes or 30 minutes whatever you need!
Nourishing food ~ Meals you savor, not rush. Try a New recipe , there are so many out there!
Reflection time ~ Journaling prompts to reconnect with your inner voice. Compare your morning to your end of day , what shifted? what needs to shift?
An act of self-kindness ~ A bath, a creative hobby, or simply sitting in the sun. Make time for your SElf Care = Self LOve.
Even a single day of intentional rest can create profound shifts in your energy and perspective.
