Summary

If you've ever felt overwhelmed burned out or stuck, then do we have the Pause for you.

Today I'll be talking with Rachael Oh'Mare ah, transformational coach, Google exec, a host of the Mindful Talks at Google program, US National rowing champion, and the author of a fantastic new book called Pause.

And that's just what I want to talk with her about today, about harnessing the life-changing power of giving yourself a break.

She was a customer support manager at Google when she realized she was burned out and needed to reassess her path. The best way to do this was to take a "pause" a time out to create space for her inner voice to be heard and to align her actions to lead a more fulfilled life.

We'll talk about top signs you need a pause and what that may look like. We'll examine top types of pauses, how to take them, and even what to do when you only have a minute. Plus we'll even look at how to take a pause while single parenting!
