🎙️ Episode Overview

In this episode of the Career Change Maker Podcast, I explore The Power of the Pause and why slowing down is one of the most underrated productivity tools for leaders.

I share a client story that highlights how stepping back can create space for clarity and momentum, and I open up about my own season of recovery where I’ve experienced first-hand the benefits of slowing all the way down as a business leader and mum.

I also reflect on a recent girls’ trip that became a surprising leadership lesson in the value of fun, environment shifts, and surrounding yourself with the right people.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ A Pause is a Strategy, Not a Setback: Why intentional breaks can actually move you forward faster.

✅ Leadership Lessons From Stepping Away: How my girls’ trip highlighted the power of fun, environment, and connection.

✅ Clarity Comes in the Quiet: Why the best decisions often come when you stop forcing them.

Action Steps:

💡 Identify one area of your work or life where taking a pause could bring more clarity.

💡 Schedule a micro-pause (daily) or macro-pause (quarterly) to reset and refocus.

💡 Reflect on who you are surrounding yourself with and whether they energise or drain you.
