You Belong Here

This week I found myself on calls with high powered women who, just ten years ago, would have intimidated the heck out of me.

But now, after coaching and consulting for nearly a decade, I realize these women are a lot like me and you.

Because she looked polished and organized on the outside, I thought she felt that way, too. 

But, truth be told, her thoughts were as frenetic and frazzled as mine! 

Even though she’s calm on the outside, here’s what she’s feeling on the inside: 

“Every day is Groundhog Day. I get up exhausted, go to work, come home, scarf down dinner and head to bed, so that I can get up early and do it all over again. Is this all there is for me?”

“My life is serious. I have an overwhelming amount of obligations to keep, people to please and bills to pay. I have no time for anything else. I’ve lost the joy. I wish I could have fun again.”

“I’m driven to improve myself. I find myself needing to do more. I need to strive and drive. That’s how I got this far in life. And yet, I’m exhausted. I don’t know how to do life any differently.”

“It’s hard for me to say no (except to myself). I never let anyone down. I’m the one people can count on, because I always follow through.”

Wearing jeans or a power suit,

We’re burning ourselves out by the way we approach life. 

We need a better way to approach life;

one that ensures we have the time and energy for what matters most;

one that incorporates an ebb and flow.

And that’s exactly what we do at The Pause Retreat. 

Here’s what one retreater had to say about her experience:

“We women leaders know that our hustle and drive have gotten us to where we are. We run 100 miles an hour and burn the candle at both ends…until we can’t. The Pause Retreat is where I found myself. I needed a sustainable approach to assure that my energy and time is being spent on the things and people that matter the most. I needed a time out.I found myself asking why it took this long in life for me to take this time to pause! “ 

- Jaime Sahlstom, Financial Advisor at RBC Wealth Management

Every six months, women come to The Pause because they know they want to control the cadence of their days. 

They know they want a better, more sustainable way to live and lead. 

We have two more spaces at The Winter 2023 Pause Retreat in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. 

Is this the time you master your calendar and nasty inner dialogue? 

Is this when you’ll finally say yes to yourself, and take care of your body the way she deserves?

Let’s talk and see if this is a good fit for you. 

I’m easy to talk with and after our conversation you’ll feel confident in your decision, whatever it is.
