Inner Child Nurturing meditation
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.

But deep down, that joyful, curious, and carefree child we once were is still there, waiting to be seen and heard. In todayâs podcast weâll reconnect to your inner child and let your inner light shine....

Cultivating Potency: A Journey of Rediscovery
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 â 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 myselfâlifeless, and frankly, dead inside.

3 Ways to be Happier Now
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
đ Cultivate Happiness in 3 easy steps đ Hey there! We all crave happiness, right? Whether it's snagging our dream job, amassing more of everything (money, stuff, experiences), or finding that soulmate, it all boils down to one universal quest - happiness. In today's Mindful Pause Podcast, we're diving deep into the art of being happy. Often, our joy gets blocked because we're fixated on the wrong thing â our EGO takes the wheel, focusing on the destination rather than relishing the journey. But what if true happiness isn't about what we want, but about giving from the heart to help us...
info_outlineHey soul friend,
How often do we let our inner critic spin us into old dramas? đđťââď¸
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 essence of mindfulness. The more we can hold space for our experiences without letting them take over, the more freedom we find.
In today's meditation on the MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST EP 185, I guide you through an exercise to be with something that's triggeringâwhether it's anger, sadness, or even joyâwithout letting it consume you.
When we can BE with the emotion without becoming emotional, we can be with anger without becoming angry, with sadness without sinking into despair, and with joy without clinging to it.
Here are some takeaways from episode 184:
⨠Emotions typically only last about 90 seconds. It's the stories we tell ourselves that revive the narrative and make them linger.
⨠Step back as the witness. Create space between you and the emotion. You'll find the charge starts to fade.
⨠Choose presence over the drama. Take a moment to quiet the mind and return to this moment.
Remember, when youâre in consciousness, you are in choice.
You have the power to decide whether you'll get swept away by the story or stand firm in the present moment.
So, as you go about your day, whenever you feel yourself getting lost in the drama, remember: you can be with the experience without becoming it.
Take a moment to quiet the mind, create space, and return to this moment. Because right here, right now, is exactly where you're meant to be.
Join me on the Mindful Pause Podcast for an easy meditation to reclaim your peace. đŤ
Sending you lots of inner peace and presence today.
Namaste,
Audrey
