Permission to Pause: Finding Strength in Stillness

Episode Overview

  • Slowing down can help you reconnect with your true self.
  • The PAUSE Method involves pattern recognition, acceptance, unwinding, shifting, and embodying new beliefs.
  • Acknowledging feelings without judgement is key to personal growth.
  • Taking time for yourself daily can lead to significant life changes.
  • Reframing personal narratives can open up new possibilities.
"Slowing down isn't falling behind; it's catching up to who you are always meant to be."
Curious about how others find strength in their journey to sobriety? This episode of The Well-Tended Life features a conversation with Karen Bartholomew, the founder of the PAUSE Method. Karen shares her story of transformation from feeling invisible as a child to becoming a high-achieving single mum running on empty. Her journey led her to develop the PAUSE Method, a five-step approach to slowing down and finding one's true self.
The discussion is filled with personal anecdotes and practical advice on how to incorporate pauses into daily life, emphasising the importance of acknowledging and accepting one's feelings without judgement. Karen's insights are not just about taking breaks but about truly understanding and reshaping the narratives we tell ourselves. If you've ever felt like you're living life on fast forward, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on the power of slowing down and tuning into your own needs.
It's an invitation to stop rushing and start tending to the garden of your life. So, what would happen if you gave yourself permission to pause?
