Mindful Pause Podcast

Hey there,

Feeling the lunar vibes this week? I sure was!

The full moon had me in a bit of a funk for about 24 hours! Everything seemed to be a trigger, from kid tantrums to everyday transitions. I was moody and edgy, definitely not the best version of myself.

But, here's the kicker: I stumbled upon a game-changer – a one-minute daily self-love check-in.

It's been my go-to for reining in my mood swings and staying grounded in what truly nourishes my mind, body and soul.

Curious to join the 1-minute self-love check-in? Have a listen to this week's episdoe

Here are a few of my questions for a daily checking…share with me what's yours?

1. Am I being good to myself – in my thoughts and behaviors?

2. Have I moved my body in loving ways today?

3. Have I drink enough water?

4. Have I eaten something healthy and nourishing?

5. How can I be kinder to myself? Right now

6. how can I be kinder to someone else today?

7. How can I have a little more fun today and bring more joy to my day

8. What am I grateful for?

Let's make self-love a daily ritual – one minute at a time!

Today is a simple mantra: "one tweak each week"

Last week, I started working out again (after not really moving my body much for GULP, 4 YEARS!). I had 2 babies and a pandemic and a move/remodel. But my baby is almost 3 years old, and there's no excuses, plus I feel like crap!

So I signed up for Orange Theory Fitness and made a commitment to myself to work out for 5 days. Last week was my first week, but I ate like crap - we're talking 5 indulgent meals a day at about 3000 calories. So, although I was working out like an athlete, I was eating like a lumberjack!

I told my husband that I'm disappointed in myself and was wondering if I was self-sabotaging my progress. He was so great and wrapped his arm around me and said, "You did great. Now just eat better. One tweak a week!"

And it stuck!

Friend, maybe you can relate to this and are needing a little encouragement.

Our Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee can keep us down by comparing us to other people's progress and judging our accomplishments, so I hope this week's intention of:

One Tweak a week

Is helpful to you to encourage you to keep going. You're making progress and doing great!

Lots of love,

Audrey

Today's episode is about completion.

HUH? What does this have to do with self-love or mindfulness?

When we don't complete our tasks, it chips at our self worth. If we have a running list of all the things we need to do, this ever growing list can feel overwhelming, anxiety inducing and stressful.

Completion of our tasks builds self worth, confidence and relieves stress.

Journal:

• What projects or tasks have I left unfinished? (this could be as simple as finishing reading a book, or sending out an email to a larger project or dream)

• What outstanding debts do I have?

• Who do I owe money to?

• Who do I owe an apology to?

• Who do I owe words of appreciation to?

• What dreams have I put on hold?

How does not completing these things make me feel?

How would it feel to complete these tasks and projects?

Now the work begins: It doesn't matter the order - just start completing each task fully! Usually simple and easy is best.

Make a plan and start checking them off. When you do, write down next to each task how completing this made you feel.

Share with me too!

namaste,

Audrey

I hope today's meditation helps you feel more at ease within yourself and a warmth that you are enough and you matter

Sending you lots of love

I just finished my book! Well, my 2nd draft of this book (that I started 11 years ago!?, and just recently picked it back up).

Life is always speaking to us…are we listening?

In today's intention and reflection, I'll guide you to look back at your challenges and see what Life was trying to teach you.

What are you experiencing NOW that you can learn from?

I finished my book with my own reflection of my challenges:

• my divorce taught me to learn to love myself so I could find love again
• burnout and the uncertainty of a major career change taught me to really know myself and find my purpose to serve others and teach them how to know and love themselves
• the death of my dad taught me to appreciate the impermanence of life and taught me how to truly live
• my dark season of motherhood is teaching me how to mother myself (in a new way, in this new role) through tenderness, slowing down and being gentle.

Sometimes our challenges can feel like:

• a dark hole you're trying to claw your way out of
• Or a tunnel your persevering to get through

But more often, these dark times are the cocoon you're meant to be in for a great transformation.

I hope today's episode is helpful.

Let me know and connect with me!

You matter,

Audrey

This week's podcast is about giving yourself permission to experience more abundance and luxury AND to do something that feels luxurious each day.

Jake and I finally celebrated my birthday night out in a luxurious hotel nearby. We went to dinner and sat by the hotel fire and connected. It was a Monday and we arrived to the hotel at 5pm and left at 9:30am for work, but that one night felt very luxurious. Maybe it's because we haven't had a night away from the kids in 4 years or maybe it's because I'm a mom of a 2 and 5 year old, and "luxury" these days is removing my toe nail polish that's been hanging on with little specks of what used to be the color.

What made this night special were the thoughtful details….The single rose and glass of wine at check in, cookies at the bar with a candle, truffles in my room with a note.

Details matter.

Sometimes we think we need a big chunk of time - a weekend, a retreat or spa day to feel luxury or taken care of, when we can and deserve to treat ourselves daily.

Notice how you feel about luxury? Perhaps giving to yourself may feel uncomfortable or privileged, but remember, YOU are your MOST beloved treasure, so why not treat yourself as such NOW not when you have more time, or more money or (whatever you think you need to give to yourself).

In this season of your life, what little things bring you joy and make your life more special?

It may be fresh flowers,

a walk around the block without any distractions,

painting your nails,

having a good glass of wine…

Please share with me: what can you do this week to feel more luxury and abundance?

You deserve to treat yourself and feel special, because you ARE special.

When we lean into believing in abundance, more abundance follows.

Namaste,

Audrey

Last week I had the opportunity to be a guest speaker at a weekend long writers retreat, and you know what I learned?

We are not alone in our fears and we have the same universal desires to feel seen, connected, signifiant.

What's the ONE thing that gets in the way?

Our Itty-Bitty-shitty-Committee!

I'm writing about it in my book. I speak and teach alot about quieting it? WHY?

Because if we listen to it, it will sabotage our dreams, demolish our self worth and just keep us stuck in scarcity and fear.

In this week's MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST episode, I lead you through a quick version of last week's hour long meditation to help you cut the cord to your limiting beliefs, negative narrative and anything else that may be keeping you stuck, so you can truly connect to your True Self - that place of love, creativity, joy and truth.

Sending you lots of love friend!

Setting a new year's goal, resolution or an intention can get complicated. Our mind wants to figure it all out, work backwards to make our goal happen.

In today's meditation, you just need to ask your heart ONE question to gain crystal clear, potent clarity.

💫 What do I want? 💫

Resist the need to ask Why, When or How questions right now.

These tend to be answered from our mind to try to figure out a solution or plan.

Just ask:

What do I want most?

And

How do I want to feel?

Let yourself get quiet and listen to the whisper of your heart.

Listen for the potent answer.

This is your soul speaking your Truth.

All will unfold beautifully.

Share with me what you want and how you want to feel.

I love hearing from you!

Set aside 10 minutes to listen to TODAY'S MEDITATION to reflect and appreciate who you are and journal:

· What do you want to release/clear?

· What are the lessons you've learned?

· What are you most proud of?

· What inspires you about yourself?

· What do you want more of moving forward? (experiences, creations, feelings?)

· What are you appreciating?

lots of love
