Listen "EP37 - The Power Of The Pause"
Episode Synopsis
When your emotions are running high, it’s easy to fall into old reactions without even noticing. In this episode, I talk about the simple act of pausing when things feel overwhelming. The pause isn’t about ignoring what’s happening or pretending everything’s fine. It’s a moment of courage that lets you slow down just enough to see what you actually need.
You’ll hear why pausing helps you move from reacting to responding, and how that tiny shift can change the outcome of a conversation, a message you’re about to send, or even the story you tell yourself. I also share a real moment from my own life when pausing helped me realise I wasn’t actually angry at all, I just needed to be understood.
If you’ve been feeling stuck or unsure what to do next, this might be the step that brings you back to yourself.
