MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 Japanese concept that celebrates imperfection and impermanence. It's all about finding beauty in life's irregularities, rather than striving for unattainable perfection. What if instead of striving...
info_outline Stay Grounded: Tips for Finding Peace Amidst Life's ChaosMINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 I'm rocking just my bra (not my sports bra). Talk about a fashion faux pas! And to top it off, the next day, I hit the gym with my leggings on backward. GET. IT. TOGETHER, AUDREY! After...
info_outline Ignite Your Inner GoddessMINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 to my hubby, exclaiming, "See? I've still got it!" These past three years of motherhood? Phew, they've been quite the rollercoaster ride! Amidst the chaos of diapers and...

info_outline One Tweak A Week to Reach Your DreamsMINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 first week, but I ate like crap - we’re talking 5 indulgent meals a day at about 3000 calories. So, although I was working out like an athlete, I was eating like a lumberjack! I...
info_outline CompletionMINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 projects or tasks have I left unfinished? (this could be as simple as finishing reading a book, or sending out an email to a larger project or dream) What...

I just finished my book! Well, my 2nd draft of this book (that I started 11 years ago!?, and just recently picked it back up). Life is always speaking to us…are we listening? 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?

info_outline LUXURY + ABUNDANCEMINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 luxurious. Maybe it’s because we haven’t had a night away from the kids in 4 years or maybe it’s because I’m a mom of a 2 and 5 year old, and “luxury” these days is removing my toe...
info_outline Tune into your Truth (meditation)MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 if we listen to it, it will sabotage our dreams, demolish our self worth and just keep us stuck in scarcity and fear. In this week’s MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST...
info_outlineThis podcast is broken into two parts because shadow work is a very deep, complicated and huge part of awakening to our true nature. We will dive into specific examples of what dark and light shadows are, how you can detect a shadow and ways to integrate them back to your whole self. I share my personal relationship with my husband where our lowest selves and darkest shadows called each other to learn our greatest lessons.
Shadows are parts of our personality we hide, so we put on masks to show we are perfect. Society has groomed us to search outside ourselves for validation, keeping us in a cycle of striving for something in the future to make us happy or being stuck ruminating in the past. We are taught to never be satisfied, to believe this moment is not enough, and you are not enough. We strive to be special so we hide parts of our selves we deem unlikable or not acceptable behind masks. We feel broken and search outside ourselves for validation and love, when what we are searching for is already within us. Being authentic is special enough. It’s only through awakening and consciousness can we live in the moment, accept what is, learn to be okay with the ordinary in order to see the extraordinary in the ordinary that we can return to our whole, true authentic self and love.There is so much to share about shadow work. Today you will learn:
- what a shadow is
- how to discover your shadows
- how they can harm you
- how to learn the gift from your shadows
- how to break free from any bad cycles and conditions
- how to integrate your hidden parts of your personality back into your whole self.
When you mindfully come from a place of love rather than hate, and courage instead of fear, abundance instead of scarcity, you can be more compassionate and gentle with yourself and with others. Embrace your imperfections, vulnerability, authenticity, and the entire world within, and you will be free to create the whole, joyful and abundant life of your dreams. Your work is not to be perfect, but to be free. To be authentic. To be whole. To be loved. To be awake.
