Mindful Pause Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Mother’s Day can bring up a swirl of emotions—joy, grief, resentment, or longing. If your heart feels tender around this time, this episode and meditation is for you.

 

We explore the often-invisible “mother wound”—not what was said, but what wasn’t. It lives in the quiet spaces: the comfort that never came, the sensitivity that was too much, the silence you learned to keep just to feel safe.

 

These early emotional imprints shape our adult patterns:

– People-pleasing

– Silencing your truth

– Ignoring your needs

– Struggling to set boundaries

– Feeling like you’re too much or never enough

 

As a self-love coach, I help women notice how their inner critic was often inherited—absorbed from caregivers and culture. In this episode, I guide you through a gentle process to begin healing: my signature CUDDLE UP Method, which invites you to sit with what hurts, listen to what needs love, and become the supportive presence you always deserved.

 

Your inner child doesn’t need fixing—she needs you to stay and be with the big emotions that perhaps your caregivers couldn't.

 

Come home to yourself, one loving breath at a time in this guided meditation to cuddle up with your inner child.

 

Sending you lots and lots of love,

Audrey

Episode Title: “Uncovering Your Dharma: Stepping into Your Soul’s Purpose”

 

Welcome to this week’s episode of Mindful Pause! Today, we’re diving into a big, beautiful topic—Dharma, your soul’s purpose. ✨

 

In this episode, I talk about how your dharma is so much more than your job or role in life—it’s about how you show up in the world, using your unique gifts and qualities. But here’s the truth: it’s not about waiting for perfection. It’s about showing up as you are, and letting the path unfold one step at a time.

 

We’ll explore:

            •          What dharma really means and how it connects to your soul’s calling

            •          How to quiet the mind’s perfectionism, judgment, and doubt to truly listen to your heart and intuition

            •          My personal story of how I embraced my path as a self-love coach, even when the ‘perfect time’ never seemed to come

            •          The practice of showing up instead of waiting for everything to be perfect

 

I also share a few journal prompts to help you reflect and connect with your own soul’s purpose:

            1.         What lights up my soul right now?

            2.         How can I let go of perfection and trust my intuition more?

            3.         What is one small, aligned step I can take toward my dharma today?

 

✨ If you’re ready to go deeper into your dharma, join me for Soul School, my 5-week program starting October 23rd, where we’ll explore how to unearth your gifts, heal patterns, and fully step into your purpose.

Catch the full episode now, and let’s walk this path together. 💖

            •          What is this moment trying to teach you?
