You’re juggling so many balls and there’s little space for reflection.

Imagine if you could feel grounded and calm—each week!—without a big commitment of time. Welcome to The Pause.

How would it feel to…

  • Stay connected with yourself even when life is busy.

  • Learn new wellbeing ideas in small, digestible bites.

  • Create a regular mindfulness practice without a huge commitment of time.

Remember who you are and make intentional choices. Join The Pause!

Here’s how The Pause works…

  • Every Wednesday morning, you receive an email with bite-sized nuggets of wisdom easily implemented in daily life.

  • The format varies—new idea, photograph, poem, journal prompt, or reflective practice—so the material feels fresh and you feel motivated.

  • The ideas are not cumulative, so when life interrupts you can easily begin again.

  • Each message includes a 5-minute audio-guided meditation, so you have breathing room within midweek busyness.

  • There are a wide range of themes—joy, self-compassion, gratitude, connection, awe, meaning, grounding, simplicity—so you learn something new each week.

  • The regularity of practice and ease of implementation let you form the mindfulness habit you’ve always wanted.

“Every time I see a message from Joy, a sense of peace washes over me. I know that each click brings something meaningful to my life. She encourages me to see the world anew and dig deep into my own heart. Joy will guide you through opportunities for growth, reflection, connection, and more!”
— Angela Z.

Hi! My name is Joy. I’m a mindfulness teacher who works with busy folks.

Life is go-go-go and it’s hard to slow down. I’ve seen so many people stressed and tired; so many people taking care of others yet not tending to themselves.

I created The Pause to give y’all breathing room. Each week, you connect with your inner compass; you have space just for you.

  • Absolutely! Each mindfulness theme stands on its own. It’s not a cumulative curriculum. Join at any time and enjoy the next week’s message.

  • You’ll receive an email each Wednesday morning at 5am Central Time.

  • You only need 10 minutes a week! Read the email, listen to the meditation. Each message includes additional resources if you want to go deeper, but 10 minutes is all you need.

  • All the email messages and meditations are stored on my website. You have easy access to this page, so you can revisit themes again and again.

  • You bet. The Pause is a monthly subscription that you can cancel at any time. You’ll have access to content until the end of your billing cycle.

Contact Joy if you have more questions.

“You are such a gift. Your meditations are grounding for me. I want to tell you over and over what a difference you make, especially during these difficult times. I love that you focus on whatever is going on for you, as it always resonates with me. Thank you!”
— Ruth V.
“I can’t thank you enough for how you’ve helped me! Of all the things I’ve tried over the years to deal with depression, your classes help the most. You are an inspiration and a gentle reminder that I am okay, I am worthy, and I’m doing just fine.”
— Cathy S.

By experiencing The Pause each week, you’ll be more present, calm, and joyful in everyday life.

This June: reconnect with yourself in the pause.
