With A Pause And A Breath

My journey probably sounds a bit like yours. I started out as an innocent kid, shaped by my family, friends, teachers, and the media. Then I was set loose in the world, following the script of what I was "supposed to do" and what I was told to do. I went from high school to college to marriage, and along the way, I carried the thoughts and expectations of everyone who had a hand in raising me. It's no wonder I felt stressed and lost – I was living everyone else's opinions and dreams, not my own. Sound familiar?

But here's the cool part:
I realized I had the power to figure out who I truly was and who I wanted to be.

My journey took me from the corporate world to massage therapy, and eventually, it led me to create the Pause Breathe Proceed movement.
Looking back, every step I took brought me here. Life often gives us chances to pivot, to make different choices, to head down a new path. It's your life, and you get to choose, yet many folks end up living a life defined by others.

When we learn to pause and breathe throughout our day, something magical happens.
We gain the power to pivot and make choices that align with our true selves. We can rewire our brains to think differently. Without those pauses, we just keep repeating the same old patterns, and nothing changes.

My dream is to empower you to live a life that beats in tune with your heart.
I want you to become the author of your life story, to discover peace, power, and purpose, just like I did.
So, what are you waiting for? There's nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain!

Let's embark on this journey together.

A Pause Can Change Everything!

Client Testimonials

"If it wasn’t for Pause Breathe Proceed I don’t know where I would be now!"

Pause Breathe Proceed is going to change the world ! I have been practicing for quite some time now. It will be a year next month that I lost my brother to suicide. And since then, my father has passed away, I lost my mom to Dementia and I just lost my fur baby. Not to mention I had to give up my life to move back home to take care of mom. Between my amazing husband and this movement, I’m not sure where I would be right now! Thank you ❤️.

"A common sense power tool anyone can use"

When I first heard about Pause Breathe Proceed, I thought it was going to be a tad on the “misty” side, with pictures of beautiful people finding inner peace sitting in the lotus position on a rock overlooking a beach. I could not have been more mistaken! Pause Breathe Proceed is a common sense power tool that anyone can use, anywhere. Karen Wright has taken complicated theories of mindfulness and emotional intelligence and boiled them down into the simplest of simple techniques that we can bring straight into our everyday lives.

"I would recommend PBP to everyone!"

Engaging in Pause Breathe Proceed has improved my awareness of how I engage with people and events, and to understand how my past shapes my response. It has helped me . . . given me strategies to be ”OK“ with stepping away from a situation to think about my feelings and a better, more compassionate response. In this world of difficult politics, COVID, crime and war, it is easy to become overwhelmed with anger and frustration. PBP is a great strategy for coping at this time in our world. I would recommend PBP to everyone, including children.
