Healing starts by looking inside, loving who you are, and being honest.

About 5 years ago, I came up with ladypause. At the time I was pregnant with my second child. I started questioning what comes next for me as a very busy working mother of almost two. I really wasn’t sure how much I loved being a mom yet, I was burning out quickly and needed a break . I  didn’t have any idea where to start or how to give it to myself. Fast forward a few months to the pandemic, I now had a toddler and newborn home with me and no help. I became angry and I burned out, but didn’t realize what was happening.

 I was a shell of the human I used to be and couldn't figure out how to get back to myself. I suffered from Postpartum depression, PTSD and was starting Perimenopause - my brain was no longer the same as it had been. Thankfully, I’m not a person who gives up easily, quite the opposite. I realized there was a lot of healing I needed to work through and didn’t really know where to start. I was a mess. I started slowly learning how to heal by taking mini pauses of self care for myself.  After a very long journey through stillness, breath, dance, affirmation, gratitude and lot’s of inward looking - I started loving myself once more. Healing starts by looking inside, loving who you are, and being honest. It’s hard and can be long, confusing and lonely - you put a lot of trust in the process. Ladypause is meant to show us busy women how to take moments for ourselves.

All I knew was I lost myself and didn’t recognize who I was anymore.

My hope for ladypause is that it helps you look inside and pause, no matter what it is you need.
