How often have you told yourself, “Next time I’ll catch myself,” and then find yourself right back in the same pattern?

That’s what this episode is about: the space between knowing better and doing differently.

 In this episode, I, Mischelle O’Neal, dive into what real action looks like after alignment. She unpacks why high-functioning women slip back into reflex mode and how to use the pause as your first move toward peace.

 Listen as I share:

• Why pausing feels uncomfortable (and why that’s a good sign)
• How small physical movements, walking away, turning aside, looking down, reset your brain and body
• What it means to give yourself time before you answer, and how that changes everything
• The truth that will save your energy: very few things in life need instant attention

If you’ve been running on reflex, this episode will remind you that power lives in stillness, and clarity begins with a pause.

Take a breath. You don’t owe the world an instant answer.
