🔑 Episode Summary:

In this solo episode, Angela Vassallo unpacks the first pillar of her powerful Next Chapter Framework: The Pause.

If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or like you’ve outgrown your current career or life chapter, this episode is your sign to stop, breathe, and pause.

Angela shares how taking a deliberate pause helped her transition out of a successful hospitality business into a more aligned life — one of speaking, coaching, and purpose-driven impact. She also explores why high-achieving women often skip this essential step, and how pausing creates the clarity and momentum needed for your true next chapter.

This is a must-listen for women ready to reclaim their clarity, energy, and purpose.

  👑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why the pause is the first step in personal reinvention
  • How to recognize “the stirring” — that quiet inner voice telling you it's time for something new
  • Reflective questions to help you reset and realign with what matters
  • How burnout can mask your true calling and block clarity
  • What happens when you finally reclaim your energy and stop running on autopilot
  • Angela’s personal story of reinvention after exiting her business

    These are also available as a downloadable bonus via the link in Angela’s bio:

    • Am I feeling stuck or restless — and do I know why?
    • What am I tolerating that no longer aligns with me?
    • Is my current path aligned with who I want to become?
    • What if I started again — what would that look like?
    • Won’t it be great when…?

      •   ✨ Angela’s Advice:

      “Pausing isn’t passive — it’s powerful. The pause is where your next breakthrough begins. Your full potential isn’t found in the hustle — it’s in the alignment.”
