The Art of the Pause

Episode 7: Holiday Edition

Rest, Reflection & Reclaiming Yourself Before the Holidays (Solo Episode)

As we step into the swirl of the holiday season, this week’s solo episode is an invitation to slow down before the world speeds up.

Roundtable 1 draws to a close this coming week and I’m sharing the themes, lessons, and emotional truths that surfaced—and why this is the season when so many women feel stretched, unseen, or pulled back into old roles they no longer wish to carry.

This episode explores:

  • The emotional and energetic weight women carry into the holidays

  • Why the Sacred Pause is essential for transition, clarity, and self-preservation

  • What I witnessed in Roundtable 1 that every woman should hear

  • How to set micro-boundaries, release old expectations, and honor your capacity

  • A grounding SoulSync practice to reset your nervous system and reclaim your rhythm

Whether the holidays bring joy, pressure, grief, or change for you—this conversation offers a softer path through the season.

Take a breath.

Settle your spirit.

You don’t have to walk into this season the way you always have.
