Permission to Pause
A 14-day journey home.
Not just a break. A conscious choice to put yourself first—and feel good about it.
This isn’t about transformation through force.
It’s about devotion through attention.
Give yourself the gift of 14 days.
To listen. To feel. To come home — to you.
You don’t have to be burned out to need a break.
You don’t have to be falling apart to deserve support.
You don’t have to be “productive” to be worthy of rest.
You just need one thing: Permission to Pause
This fully online 14-day journey is a soft but powerful invitation to return to your body, your breath, your knowing.
To do something rare and radical in a world that constantly pulls you outward:
Turn inward.
And stay there for a while.

It begins 9.15.25.
We know you’re busy. Here’s how this looks in your life.
It’s about learning to weave presence into what you are already doing.
Permission to Pause was created for women with full lives—mothers, leaders, creators, caretakers—who want to live with more intention without abandoning what matters most.
Beginning on October 14, each day, you'll receive a 5-minute audio download—something you can listen to whenever it fits: during a walk, your commute, or your quiet morning moment.
You’ll also get simple daily “goodies” like a meditation, ritual, journal prompt, nervous system tools or mini activity—gentle invitations to go deeper, on your terms.
Quick, meaningful check-ins throughout the journey offer gentle accountability and remind you: you’re part of something bigger. A circle of women choosing to show up—imperfectly, honestly, together.
And because integration matters just as much as insight, we’ve built in intentional rest + integration days to let it all settle. These are your moments to breathe, reflect, revisit anything you missed, or simply pause and be.
This isn’t one more thing to keep up with.
It’s a rhythm of support woven into your real life—with structure to keep you grounded, and space to keep it sustainable.

guided meditations
Created just for Permission to Pause, these unique guided meditations offer a variety of modalities, including breathwork, movement and stillness, allowing you to experiment with what serves you most. There are 5-minute and 10-minute options to easily fit into whatever kind of day you’re having.

This is for you if…
Your mornings start rushed, and your nights end in collapse—but your soul craves something deeper in between
You’re navigating hormonal shifts, body changes, or emotional swings that have left you feeling foreign in your own skin
You’re holding grief, uncertainty, or quiet heartbreak—while still showing up for everyone else
You're great at being strong for others—but struggle to be soft and present with yourself
You don’t want to escape your life—you just want to feel more alive in it
You’re craving a pocket of sacred time each day that is just yours
You want to start living in a way that feels intuitive, spacious, and soul-led—not just scheduled
This is not for you if…
You’re looking for a fast-paced, high-performance challenge with strict outcomes — subtle, lasting integration is not desired
You’re not ready to slow down, reflect, or turn inward - a rigid structure or heavy time commitment serves you best
You’re seeking clinical or therapeutic intervention (this is not a replacement for therapy)
You’re expecting someone else to give you the answers instead of learning to listen to your own
You’re not open to exploring new tools like breathwork, somatic practices, or guided meditation
Who’s leading this journey?
Hi. I’m Courtney.
I’m a mama to two energetic boys and the household CEO/nurse/chef/secretary—you know the drill. I’m also a certified yoga instructor, neurosomatics practitioner, self-discovery junkie… and widow.
That last word still catches in my throat.
In 2024, I lost my husband. The grief was massive—and the shock of losing the life I thought we’d have was just as heavy. His death cracked me open and pulled me into a new portal of awareness, spirituality, and deep inner work.
What’s kept me grounded through it all? My spiritual practice, my curiosity, and a deep trust in healing through many modalities.
I know life is a lot. And I know you’re already holding so much. But I also know how many women are craving more: more connection, more meaning, more trust in their own inner knowing.
I know because I’m one of them.
That’s why I created this space.
To offer something that fits into a full life—and helps you access the depth beneath the doing.
Because when you pause—truly pause—something magical happens. You remember what it’s supposed to feel like.
Ease. Freedom. Bliss.
I’ll see in you in the pause.
From others like you
“You gave us a gift by guiding us to connect with our inner selves and release what doesn’t truly serve our highest good.”
“Great creative audio work on the walking meditation! I am definitely doing that again in hopes to truly feel the left/right side energy. But I lifted my chin and smiled and had a serious moment of gratefulness, so thank you.”“You saying ‘listen to myself’ really sticks with me today. SO grateful for this opportunity!”
“I’m looking forward to being more dedicated to somatic practices. Realizing it does take practice and this is a reminder. Finding quality time to do so has been a challenge, but I’m working on it!”
“Sun is shining today, saw a double rainbow last night & feeling more myself than I have in a long time. Cheers to a beautiful day!”
“Love learning the science behind these concepts and excited to learn more. Also utilized the breathwork...so good to remember that's in my toolkit at all times.”To the beautiful woman who holds so much, for so many. Who gives endlessly, without asking for anything in return. Whose strength carries her people, and whose love lifts the world.
This is your time to pause. To give back to you, with grace and kindness. With love and softness. It’s time to remember you own well-being is not a luxury. It’s a requirement, and it is possible.
