Pause Reset Unplugged

You’re disciplined. You’re focused. You show up.

So why does it still feel like you could be doing more?

In this solo episode of Pause Reset Unplugged, Natalie Francis-Clarke speaks to those who don’t struggle with comparison—but instead with being their own biggest critic.

This episode explores:
✨ The weight of self-imposed pressure
✨ Why pausing is a necessity—not a luxury
✨ How to balance discipline with grace
✨ A guided brain dump exercise to reset your mind

If you hold yourself to a high standard and rarely slow down… this conversation is for you.

🎧 Tune in. Reset. Give yourself grace.

What if you didn’t have to choose between being yourself and being successful?

In this episode of Pause Reset Unplugged, Natalie Francis-Clarke sits down with Stacia DeBerry Jackson—marketing and communications leader, storyteller, and Chief Marketing Officer at Alexander Youth Network.

With over 20 years of experience across healthcare, education, and nonprofit spaces—including brands like Atrium Health and Discovery Place—Stacia has built a career helping organizations show up with clarity, authenticity, and impact.

But beyond the titles, she’s a wife, a mom, a first-generation college graduate, and the founder of DeBerrytree Marketing & Communications—where she helps nonprofits find their voice and use it.

In this conversation, we talk about:
✨ What it really means to show up as yourself in leadership
✨ The power of storytelling in connecting people to purpose
✨ Navigating identity, confidence, and career growth
✨ Self-care and giving yourself grace while carrying so much
✨ Redefining success in different seasons of life

If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink to succeed—this episode is your reminder that you don’t.
