MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Mother’s Day can bring up a swirl of emotions—joy, grief, resentment, or longing. If your heart feels tender around this time, this episode and meditation is for you. We explore the often-invisible “mother wound”—not what was said, but what wasn’t. It lives in the quiet spaces: the comfort that never came, the sensitivity that was too much, the silence you learned to keep just to feel safe. These early emotional imprints shape our adult patterns: – People-pleasing – Silencing your truth – Ignoring your needs – Struggling to set boundaries – Feeling like...

Hi dear one, We’ve all been there—scrolling through social media, comparing our lives to someone else’s highlight reel. Or getting stuck in the cycle of complaining or criticizing.

My dear friend Jeanie Iberlin shared her 3 C’s for joy: compassion, connection, and calmness. • Instead of...

Have you ever found yourself waiting for the “perfect” time? The perfect weight, the perfect moment, the perfect conditions to finally go after what you desire? In this episode, I share a deeply personal experience about overcoming perfectionism and stepping into trust. After years of waiting for the “right” moment, I finally said yes to an opportunity that wasn’t ideal—at least not in my mind. I didn’t feel my best. I wasn’t fully prepared. And yet, when I followed my intuition instead of my inner critic, everything aligned perfectly. Join me as we dive into: ✨...

Hi friend, Over the holidays, I fell into a familiar trap. My calendar was bursting with events and to-dos, and I was running myself ragged. Eventually, I got sick, angry, and exhausted. I didn’t like who I was becoming. But then, I remembered a tool I write about in my book: Notice. Pause. Choose again. It’s so simple yet so powerful. I noticed I was out of alignment, paused to reset, and chose a new direction—saying no to events, putting work aside, and being present with my kids. Slowly, things shifted, and I felt the connection I had been longing for. Here’s the...

Recently, I was planning my dream retreat in Italy when something felt…off. My mind was buzzing with excitement, but my heart kept whispering: Conserve your energy. Focus on what you came here to do. It wasn’t easy to let go of the planning and ideas swirling in my head. It was like a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the next. I kept second guessing my inner wisdom and answers. Those old failiar sabotaging patterns are hard to beat, aren't they?! But when I paused and connected with my higher self (for the fourth time), the answer became crystal clear: My soul’s calling right...

The new year often comes with a rush of goals and to-dos. But what if we paused instead? What if, like Mother Earth in winter, we slowed down, rested, and renewed? Recently, I’ve been leaning into this wisdom, asking myself: How do I want to feel this year? It’s such a simple shift, but it’s helped me let go of the hustle and connect with what truly matters. So, let me ask you: How do YOU want to feel this year? Take a deep breath, pause, and let your heart answer. LISTEN IN on the latest episode of Mindful Pause Podcast where we’ll explore the power of...
info_outlineOkay, guys, I gotta warn you. If you have sensitive ears and easily get offended, this may not be the conversation for you. There are pretty much all cuss words, discussion of sex and vagina issues and the use of yoni eggs. Today’s conversation with intimacy alchemist, Cara Kovacs, is very colorful – like bright NEON colors, but so raw, real and enlightening!
So you maybe wondering why I have Cara on the podcast today? She is a third generation healer and an intimacy alchemist empowering people to have better sex lives, heal from old patterns and wounds, and cultivate radical self-love.
At the young age of 14 she knew she would be a sex and relationship therapist. Last year, she was named by Wanderlust as one of “35 People Under 35 To Watch In Wellness” as she combines modern science with ancient healing and spiritual philosophy to help bring people to truth through love.
Today on the podcast, we go deep into healing old wounds by looking at your story around body shaming and self-loathing and empower yourself by re-writing your story to create more self-love and intimacy:
- Look at where you’re disconnected
- Look at your stories and your history
- Rewrite the narrative in a positive way that fits your needs to create radical self-love
Intimacy is a spiritual practice and requires trust, surrender, and clearing the narrative connection so you can reconnect to your deep inner wisdom of your body, feel empowered and celebrate your own unique magic.
Your body is normal. You are normal.
True self-love requires vulnerability, self-awareness, acceptance, and patience to examine your life lessons and make constant and conscious choices for your highest good BECAUSE you love yourself.
When you live from that place, you are unstoppable.
