Mindful Pause Podcast

Hi there,   This week, I taught self-love tools to my kids' Montessori class. Watching those little ones reminded me of the pure light and playfulness that still lives within each of us.   As adults, we often get caught up in responsibilities, challenges, and the pressure to be perfect and have it all together.   We've forgotten what "success" really means.   But deep down, that joyful, curious, a...

hi there soul friend! today, I am celebrating and doing a big ole' happy dance! I found my editor for my first book! After finishing my book draft in January, I've been paralyzed by fear of failure and disappointment for three months, and haven't done anything with it.   Last month during my yoga retreat in Bali, I had a major breakthrough and haven't felt this free in over three years! I've been...

Introduction: In today's episode, I dive into a personal story that many parents can relate to—a moment of losing my temper with my child. I'll share the triggers that led to my outburst, the lessons I learned from my meditation practice, and how embracing our dark feelings can lead to personal growth and deeper connections with our loved ones. Plus, we'll explore reflection questions to help you...

  Hey there, I was on a call with my coach a week before I left for my Bali retreat and feeling frazzled of what to focus on – my new website? marketing? Bali? "I want to feel f*ck!ng POTENT!" I blurted out For the past 2.5 years, I've been drowning in overwhelm and busyness, feeling like a diluted version of myself—lifeless, and frankly, dead inside. My coach posed a question that hit me like a b...

how are you doing?  like...really? If you're feeling less than sparkly, I hope this love notes helps you remember your True Self and your gifts that only you have.    I've been on a 3-year quest to reconnect with my True Self - that innate expansive place inside each of us that is infinite possibilities, unbounded creativity and a portal to the Divine.  It can feel unattainable, especially in our...

Hey there soul friend, I just got back from our incredible Bali retreat, my heart is bursting with gratitude of witnessing the beauty of Bali and everyone's transformations! The experience was beyond words, and I'm thrilled to announce we'll be returning next year – the magic is simply irresistible! Returning from such soul-nourishing experiences, it's common to feel the brightness fade as we re-e...

Hi there ,   Have you ever found yourself in the judgment trap, feeling inadequate and unworthy?   Judgement isn't just about criticizing others, but it also picks apart our flaws and magnifies our mistakes. It whispers cruel "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts," leaving us feeling unworthy and unlovable.   Often the judgments we make on others are reflections of our own insecurities and judgements about ou...

Hey there,   I have a vulnerable share. I've struggled with perfectionism these past few years, and it's been so paralyzing that it's silenced my voice and my gifts as a teacher and coach.   In the online coaching world, the pressure to be flawless, to have all the answers and to be the expert has been overwhelming. Perfectionism has caused to show up inauthentically (hello imposter syndrome!) …or...

Do you ever have those days where self-doubt just seems to sneak in and rain on your parade? Yup, me too.   In my book on how to quiet our Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee, I share about The Four Horsemen: Comparison, Self-Doubt, Perfectionism, and Judgment that slays our self-worth.   Personally, I've gone through a lot of transition over the past 3 years and have struggled a lot with the Four Horseme...

🌟 Embrace Your True Self: Letting Go of Comparison 🌟   Ever find yourself caught in the comparison game? It's like a sneaky whisper that tells us we're not measuring up.   But guess what? Comparison robs us of our joy! It pulls us away from our true selves, leaving us feeling insecure and unworthy. 🚫   To help you break free from that comparison trap:   🛑 Pause and Notice : When comparison sta...

Hey soul friend,   How often do we let our inner critic spin us into old dramas?  🙋🏻‍♀️   We get triggered by something or someone, and suddenly we're knee-deep in an old drama, replaying the same story over and over again.   During my recent trip to Florida, a friend shared a powerful insight: the inner work is about being with our experiences without being consumed by them.   This is the essen...

Hi there soul friend! Growing up, I was often labeled as "too emotional" or "too sensitive," which led me to believe that my sensitivity was my flaw. But through my spiritual journey, I've had a revelation – my sensitivity is my superpower! It's what led me to discover my true calling as a self-love coach, guiding others on their paths to self-discovery and healing.   Wabi Sabi is a beautiful Japa...

Hey there, If you're feeling a little frazzled and ungrounded, I hope today's podcast and love letter for your Soul helps you stay centered to yourself and what truly matters. Last week was a whirlwind of foggy chaos: Two sick kiddos at home meant sleepless nights and the added pressure to "get it all done" in less time. 🤯 Picture this: I strut into a yoga class, only to realize in the lobby that...

Hey there, beautiful soul!   Just returned from a quick Florida vacation, and let me tell you, it was like a sip of pure sunshine for my spirit.   There's something rejuvinating about reconnecting with friends who knew you long before diapers and bedtime stories took over to remind you of who you were.   When I got back home, a friend texted me: "I forgot how funny you are!" I excitedly showed it...

Hey there,   Feeling the lunar vibes this week? I sure was!   The full moon had me in a bit of a funk for about 24 hours! Everything seemed to be a trigger, from kid tantrums to everyday transitions. I was moody and edgy, definitely not the best version of myself.   But, here's the kicker: I stumbled upon a game-changer – a one-minute daily self-love check-in.   It's been my go-to for reining in m...

Today is a simple mantra: "one tweak each week"   Last week, I started working out again (after not really moving my body much for GULP, 4 YEARS!). I had 2 babies and a pandemic and a move/remodel. But my baby is almost 3 years old, and there's no excuses, plus I feel like crap!   So I signed up for Orange Theory Fitness and made a commitment to myself to work out for 5 days. Last week was my firs...

Today's episode is about completion.    HUH? What does this have to do with self-love or mindfulness?    When we don't complete our tasks, it chips at our self worth. If we have a running list of all the things we need to do, this ever growing list can feel overwhelming, anxiety inducing and stressful.   Completion of our tasks builds self worth, confidence and relieves stress.   Journal:  What pr...

This week, many people are celebrating Valentine's Day. But what about self-love and celebrating yourself?

In today's intention and reflection, I'll guide you to look back at your challenges and see what Life was trying to teach you. What are you experiencing NOW that you can learn from? I finished my book with my own reflection o...

This week's podcast is about giving yourself permission to experience more abundance and luxury AND to do something that feels luxurious each day.   Jake and I finally celebrated my birthday night out in a luxurious hotel nearby. We went to dinner and sat by the hotel fire and connected. It was a Monday and we arrived to the hotel at 5pm and left at 9:30am for work, but that one night felt very lu...

Last week I had the opportunity to be a guest speaker at a weekend long writers retreat, and you know what I learned?   We are not alone in our fears and we have the same universal desires to feel seen, connected, signifiant.    What's the ONE thing that gets in the way?   Our Itty-Bitty-shitty-Committee!   I'm writing about it in my book. I speak and teach alot about quieting it? WHY?   Because i...

Setting a new year's goal, resolution or an intention can get complicated. Our mind wants to figure it all out, work backwards to make our goal happen.   In today's meditation, you just need to ask your heart ONE question to gain crystal clear, potent clarity.   💫 What do I want? 💫   Resist the need to ask Why, When or How questions right now. These tend to be answered from our mind to try to fi...
