Hello my love,
Have you ever felt like you were sprinting through your life, even while standing still?
I see this all the time. I’ve lived it. I see it in my clients. In my community. In myself. The quiet urgency of whats next, whats next, whats next when the body is begging for a break and to rest.
In this weeks Fireside Chat, I spoke about something I believe is essential, radical, and deeply restorative:
The Sacred Pause.
A chosen moment of stillness.
A breath between who you were and who you're becoming.
Most people don’t pause….they crash.
We live in a culture that prizes speed and productivity over presence and process. We’re taught to move fast, fix quick, and make things happen. But what if the most powerful thing you can do in a moment of transition isn’t to do more and keep going but to actually pause?
“Sometimes, if we just take a beat and a breath, we can access wisdom that wasn't there before we took the beat or the breath.”
A sacred pause is different from being forced to stop whether burnout comes knowing, you have a breakdown or some kind of break up.
This kind of pause is chosen. Intentional. Held.
It says: I matter enough to stop and listen to myself.
It says: I am not a machine. I am a soul in process.
Reflection, Not Self-Flagellation
There is a softness to this work. A sacred pause isn’t about judging who you’ve been or pushing harder to become who you think you should be.
“Self-reflection is not self-flagellation. It's the ability to digest awareness about yourself and figure out a different way to do something.”
This is where we begin rebuilding trust with ourselves…we start to bring a tonne of loving awareness to ourselves as we self-reflect.
Spaciousness is Power
Pausing doesn't mean stepping back from life. I believe it actually means stepping deeper into it. Creating space for your truth to arise. Space for your heart to catch up. Space to stop outsourcing your inner knowing.
“How good are you at holding space for the unfolding of your life? This is a great skill to learn.”
In these pauses, we tend to the parts of ourselves that have been rushed, overlooked, or silenced. We meet ourselves in real time. And in that meeting, we begin to change.
“Change can happen slowly, like building muscles at the gym. You make a choice: I want to learn how to respond differently.”
Nothing Transforms Without Love
At the core of it all is love.
Fight me on this but….
“I believe that nothing truly transforms without holistic love on top. I really believe that.”
Practical Takeaway: Sacred Interruptions
You don’t have to overhaul your life to feel different.
You need to learn how to interrupt it softly, lovingly, and often.
Start small:
A breath before answering the email.
A moment of stillness after closing the laptop.
A journal page instead of another scroll.
A gentle hand to your heart at the end of the day.
These sacred pauses create the conditions for transformation to take root.

If you’re standing at a crossroads…
If life has shifted and you're trying to catch up to yourself…

This is the kind of work that changes lives and honours the deeper rhythm of who you’re becoming.
With love in the pause,
Liv
There was a little bit of signal interruption at the end of the audio where I was speaking about the beauty of the Comeback Offer. Despite it not being a perfect recording, I trust the offer lands for the right person.
