The new year often comes with a rush of goals and to-dos. But what if we paused instead? What if, like Mother Earth in winter, we slowed down, rested, and renewed?

Recently, I’ve been leaning into this wisdom, asking myself: How do I want to feel this year? It’s such a simple shift, but it’s helped me let go of the hustle and connect with what truly matters.

So, let me ask you: How do YOU want to feel this year?

Take a deep breath, pause, and let your heart answer.

LISTEN IN on the latest episode of Mindful Pause Podcast where we’ll explore the power of setting heart-centered intentions.

Together, we’ll clear the clutter, align with our truth, and start the year grounded in what feels right for YOU.

With 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. 💖
