Press Pause Podcast

The Press Pause Podcast came about when Katrina and Laurent were chatting one day about all things self-care and came up with the idea of sharing these conversations. With years of experience around self-care, health, and wellness they both had the vision to create a ripple effect to support more people to slow down and press pause each day for themselves. To become more present, connected, and resourced to what their self-care journey looks like, providing some tools and gentle reminders to help build great practices for long-term results.

Their goal is to share their love of what they do, keep it fun and easy, and inspire people to let go of the struggles around taking time each day for themselves. We are two friends chatting over a cup of cacao and spreading the love of self-care and invite anyone who would like to pull up a chair to join us.

Ep 47: Tuning In

Today we explore the power of tuning in. What does tuning in mean? Have you ever had a gut feeling or intuition play out where it came true? This is one level of what we discuss today.

When we give ourselves the time to listen and 'tune in ' to what it is we need, what is going on around us and how this can benefit us on our self-care journey it is a simple effective way to align ourselves with our future vision. It is like a frequency that we can buid and develop and use to our advantage in many areas of our life that will guide you to answers and results you may not be aware off.

Sometimes wer are aware of what we should do but are influenced by situations or those around us. Have you ever inquired into if you do this or how this impacts you?

We love how these simples tools can help you to connect and make decisions that last, that bring a deeper level of awareness and can help shift the direction your current self-care practices are.
