Hi .

I'm so glad you're here!

I'm Linda.

My passion is to create gentle spaces where women can slow down, reconnect with what matters most and remember they are deeply valued and loved.

Over the years, the "Just Pause" lifestyle has developed out of a need to simplify life and slow down.  We can get so easily overwhelmed with everything - jobs, family, technology, expectations.  What really matters?

When a situation arises, I've learned to "just pause" before reacting. "Just Pause" - to be still and remember that God is with me.  

I've learned a lot of life lessons the difficult way.  Learning to "just pause" became a new, wholistic lifestyle, and it has changed my life.

I've learned that peace begins with a pause.

I've had the privilege of listening to people's stories and encouraging women through life's seasons of change.  Whether its as a new mother, a senior newly living alone, or a mother with a challenging adult child, the feelings can be the similar.  You aren't alone! 

These past few years have been a privilege walking with women as a lifestyle and wellness coach.  We were never created to do life alone.  We were created for community.

As the seasons of life happen, we all experience challenges of some type, and that's often how we learn.  I've unfortunately become well-versed in the school of life, having experienced a divorce, the loss of both parents, and  a lot of grief and loss in various forms.  While recovering from burnout from high stress career choices and long-distance care-giving, I discovered how to "Just Pause" as a lifestyle.  This helped me to survive, reduce stress and find peace in the process.

When I'm not writing, you can find me exploring my city discovering the next best coffee shop, spending time with friends and family, being creative or walking my little pup in the park.
