Podcast Description:

Hey there, gorgeous!

I’m excited to dive deep into a topic close to my heart: the power of presence and the art of pausing in our bustling lives. I’m Cari Kenzie, and I’m here to share my journey and insights into how incorporating mindfulness can transform our daily experiences.

As a high achiever and marathon runner, I know all too well the relentless pace of life, constantly chasing goals and ticking off to-do lists. This episode is a reflection of my personal evolution from a life filled with non-stop action to one where strategic pauses became my source of clarity and strength.

Today, I want to explore the ‘power of the pause’ – a simple yet profound concept that underscores the importance of stepping back, observing, and being fully present. Through my own experiences, like navigating tough situations at work with a newfound calmness, I’ve realized the immense benefits of embracing stillness. It’s not just about taking a break; it’s about gaining clarity, making better decisions, and finding peace amidst chaos.

I also share some practical, actionable strategies that have worked wonders for me. One of my favorites is the practice of taking three deep breaths, focusing on the breath as it travels through the body. This technique is incredibly powerful in quieting the mind and centering our thoughts, helping us to approach situations with a clear head and a steady heart.

This episode is more than just a discussion; it’s a journey into self-awareness and mindfulness. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent juggling life’s demands, or anyone feeling overwhelmed by life’s fast pace, this conversation is for you. I invite you to hit play, embrace the pause, and join me in exploring how moments of stillness can bring profound clarity and empowerment to our lives.

Remember, it’s in the quiet moments that we often find our loudest strengths!
