P A U S E … AND SOURCE THE ANSWers FROM YOUR INTUITION.

Googling made your problem worse. The self-help book from Amazon arrives tomorrow. Your therapist isn’t available until next week. Your bff hasn’t texted back. And you’re out of vodka. But your inner wisdom is available right now in the space created with a simple pause. YOU are the voice of the life you want.

THEN TAKE THAT KNOWING AND MAKE BOLD MOVES YOU FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT.

EVERYTHING IS CLEARER WITH THE PAUSE: A MEMBERSHIP DESIGNED FOR WOMEN WHO WANT MORE CONNECTION, MORE IMPACT, MORE SECURITY, AND MORE PEACE THAT LASTS.

(Without the guilt, overthink and burnout.)

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is simply tune into yourself.

The Pause monthly membership is a sanctuary where women take back their lives, trust their instincts, and recharge throughout the day. Liberate your mind from the constant pressure to figure things out by giving yourself frequent power pauses to align with your inner knowing.

Here’s what you’ll get from The Pause:

  • Answers. Not from the pursuit of more knowledge but from your own inner knowing. You’re a woman. You know deep down what you need to do. Inside The Pause you will hear your own, inner, guiding voice—the one deep down that you can trust.

  • A platform to help you embrace life as it unfolds naturally, without feeling the need to always “fix” yourself.

  • Mental hygiene practices to instantly transform feelings of unworthiness into self-acceptance and confidence.

  • A proprietary process to overcome self-sabotage so you can move faster in the creation of a life filled with passion and purpose.

  • A deeper connection to your intuition, to your feelings, to your body, and to the wisdom of the women who can before you.

  • A reliable, ever-available process for uncovering your deepest truths and allowing them to direct your life.

STOP OUTSOURCING YOUR KNOWING.

STOP OUTSOURCING YOUR KNOWING.

Your days are dominated by constant action. And while checking off to-dos may give you a sense of accomplishment, basing your sense of satisfaction (and your self-worth) on how much you get done means you’ll always see more to do—the very recipe for a dissatisfied life.

You’ll start to feel like you can’t enjoy the present moment or like your mind can’t turn off. You’ll feel isolated or even lonely, not because you’re actually alone but because in the hustle of productivity, you’ve disconnected from your feelings, your intuition, your body—and therefore from nature, from your relationships, and from your life.

You may already be there. You schedule a massage, but you think about work the whole time. You indulge in a relaxing bath, only to find yourself checking emails. You pass off the kids to have some alone time, yet you spend it mindlessly scrolling on your phone.

Sound familiar?

You don’t need more massages or salt baths (but hey, take them when they come).

You need you. You need true self-care—the care that’s sourced from the Self, from the voice of your intuition. She is always communicating to you and telling you exactly what you need to make your life smoother, clearer, and easier to navigate.

PAUSING IS THE TRUE SELF CARE THAT ACTUALLY REFILLS YOUR CUP.

A PAUSE GROUNDED IN SCIENCE, PSYCHOLOGY & MIND/BODY CONNECTION

The Pause membership is more than just a platform; it is a sanctuary of transformation and self-discovery where you’ll come to experience change within yourself. Your experience will be facilitated by fellow Intuitive and 15-year personal-development veteran, Shauna VanBogart. The live Power Pause sessions, the on-demand mini Pauses, and other offerings within the platform are built on proven psychological models, the powerful PARA Technique™, and philosophical principles that are easy to consume, enjoyable, self-reflective, and powerfully transformational.

LEADING YOU BACK HOME TO YOURSELF

Shauna VanBogart built The Pause to lead women back home to themselves. Her journey began as a personal branding and image consultant and continued on through the creation and rescue of numerous female-led businesses and nonprofits, supported by her Masters in Communication and Leadership, and her passion for technology.

A desire to help women at a much deeper, more personal level led Shauna to obtain her license in, and develop her practice of, clinical hypnotherapy. During this time, she also embraced the intuitive gifts that had guided, supported, and even scared her since she was a child—gifts that would eventually inform remote readings her clients have described as “life-changing,” “mind-blowing,” and “disruptive in all the right ways.”

In 2020, Shauna mined the wisdom and knowledge she had gained from 15+ years in business, leadership, coaching, and personal development to create the PARA Technique™, an inner-transformation modality now used by professional coaches and therapists across North America to catalyze rapid and sustainable positive change. PARA is the foundational platform of The Pause.

“As women, we’re born multitaskers. It’s in our nature and physiology, and it’s wonderful. The overwhelm and frustration (or even resentment and anger) we feel don’t come from doing too much or too much at once but from trying to do it all with our mind. We need to give some of what we do over to feeling, to intuition, and to our bodies and allow the fullness of who and how we are show up in the magic of all we do and create.”

 FAQs

  • The Pause is a tool that you can apply to any area of your life that feels unsettled, unfulfilled, or inauthentic. We combine mindfulness with productivity and achievement so that when you engage with any of the features in our platform, you experience both greater presence and higher performance in your day-to-day life. This could manifest as anything from an improved relationship with your spouse to showing up more confidently in your career.

    The PARA Technique™ that is the foundation of this platform is a performance modality that improves the relationship you have with yourself, fosters greater self-trust, resilience, and intuitiveness, and reduces self-shaming, negative self-judgment, anxiety, dysfunctional tendencies, and lingering negative emotions.

  • Does this sound like you:

    • You feel called to something greater, but you can’t quite put words to what it is.

    • You can’t stop thinking about what your life could be.

    • Your productive, ambitious nature likes to take action, but you’re often disappointed or dissatisfied with the results (and then you feel guilty because you have so much, so who are you to complain?).

    • You’re up for the work and doing “whatever it takes,” but if you’re being honest, you’re also tired, burnt out, and exhausted from always having to figure it out.

    • And what you think is in conflict with how you feel.

    If it does, The Pause will ease your mental load and help you connect to the inner guidance that is available to you at any given moment. It’s a space to deepen the relationship you have with yourself so that you can exit entirely out of the noise “out there” and hear the still, small voice “in here.”

    It’s the ultimate space to reconnect to YOUR inner authority and YOUR experience here in this life in a way that feels truly authentic to you.

  • We built you a pretty spectacular app to easily and efficiently access your membership benefits. You’ll be prompted to download it as soon as you sign up.

  • Guided classes that we call “Power Pauses”—because who says working out only involves your body? You don’t even have to put on pants if you don’t want to as these guided sessions will help you self-coach in the comfort of your own home. These Power Pauses align your heart and mind, ease your mental load, and reconnect you to your intuition so you can be the woman who turns heads, magnetizes opportunity, and masterfully leverages her emotions to get what she wants.

    “Mini Pauses”, which are our version of meditations. Do you have a situation you’re so over? A circumstance that’s leaving you feeling like I cannot with this? No worries. We’ve got your back with an entire suite of 7-minute-or-less mental tune-ups. It’s like having a personal pause button for your mind and the circumstances that have got you spinning. Just turn one on and feel your stress levels drop and your overthink quiet down.

    Performance Flows: Targeted “programs” to prime your mindset for success that feels productive yet relaxed (we call this actual flow). These masterclasses and targeted self-hypnosis programs will help you shift identity and thus behavior from the inside out to become a woman tapped into her knowing, inner authority and confidence over the moves she makes in her life.

    An active community of like-minded, ambitious women like you, who have struggled to find a community that nourishes them spiritually, emotionally, and practically in a way that allows you to go as deep and as weird as you want.

    Daily habit-tracking as it relates to your self-growth. We are big proponents of celebrating the evidence of changed behavior, mindset, and beliefs, and it’s most helpful when you’ve got clearly marked targets you’re aiming for. In the tracking section of the app, you’ll find a handful of ways to make sure you’re celebrating you and orienting your mind to what IS working.

  • So here’s the deal… We just know there are a lot of you out there who think you SHOULD be meditating BUT because of (insert reason or excuse), you don’t do it.

    We’ve heard from many of you that you just never stick to the practice long enough to enjoy the scientifically proven benefits.

    We got you! Our founder is a trained master hypnotherapist who has designed powerful mini-hypno-meditations that are 7-minutes or less and targeted at very specific circumstances in your life that are causing you to spin out. You’ll see these in the “Press Pause” section of our platform. If you’re someone who’s a bit more results oriented, you may find that the mashup of hypnosis with meditation is just what you need to commit to a more regular mindfulness practice.

    It’s like spot-treatment for a filthy mind (not in THAT way—we mean the filth of overthink, perfectionism, rumination and self-judgment). Inside the “Press Pause” section, you’ll discover mini-hypno-meditations for when you’re PMSing, stressing over housework, or getting into anticipation anxiety over an upcoming, jam-packed work week.
