MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
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 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...

Today, we’re diving into a big, beautiful topic—Dharma, your soul’s purpose. ✨ In this episode, I talk about how your dharma is so much more than your job or role in life—it’s about how you show up in the world, using your unique gifts and qualities.

info_outlineHi 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 ourselves.
The sad part about listening to judgement is that when we judge others, we close ourselves off from the beauty of their potential and the richness of their experiences.
We miss out on the opportunity to truly connect and understand one another.
But perhaps even more damaging is the judgment we inflict upon ourselves.
This week, your invitation is to consciously recognize the harmful voice of the Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee—the voice that tells us we’re not good enough, smart enough, or worthy enough, and instead of buying into its negative narrative, choose to practice Ahimsa.
Ahimsa is the Sanskrit terms that means nonviolence towards ourselves and others.
But Ahimsa is not just about refraining from physical harm but also about abstaining from harmful thoughts and beliefs.
When we embrace Ahimsa, we break free from the cycle of self-inflicted suffering and open ourselves up to a life of compassion and grace.
Each time you notice, pause and choose to not harm yourself through judgment that creates separation from others and ourselves, you move closer towards your True Self.

Sending you all the good vibes and virtual hugs,
Audrey 🌸
