Pause. A Podcast.

Season Finale! Kids Say The Darndest Things!

This episode is filled with precious conversations with my son over the years. We dive into important topics from porn all the way to hard conversations regarding the relationships Nathan and I had throughout his life. These are vulnerable moments and used with consent. Let's normalize seeing our kids where they are and meeting them there to grow and learn. I hope this makes someone smile and also reflect that parenting is hard and we all do it differently! Again, please subscribe to our podcast on whatever platform you use and rate it too! This helps us grow and share important topics that help people feel less alone!

How Many Times I Had to Become Someone New

There are lives that look linear from the outside—one version of a woman, one story, one identity. And then there are lives like mine: built from ashes, rupture, reinvention. This episode is about every version of me that had to die so I could keep going—the girl raised inside fear and control, the survivor, the athlete, the mother, the woman who kept rebuilding after trauma, loss, abuse, heartbreak, betrayal, addiction, grief, and the kind of pain that doesn’t just break you… it demands evolution. “How Many Times I Had to Become Someone New” is about identity shaped through survival—about shedding skin so many times you stop asking, “Why me?” and start asking, “Who am I now?” This is for anyone who has ever had to mourn who they were while fighting to become who they needed to be. Not a story of breaking. A story of becoming.

What Does Addiction Look Like?

Addiction is so much more complicated than people want to admit. It is not always the stereotype people picture—it can look like success, chaos, control, isolation, humor, functioning, denial, or survival. This week we talk about the emotional reality underneath it all: trauma, shame, secrecy, loneliness, relapse, coping, and the ways people try to numb what feels impossible to carry. We also get honest about recovery—how messy it can be, what actually motivates change, and why people deserve compassion instead of judgment. This one is raw, heavy, and important. https://smartrecovery.org/meeting [https://smartrecovery.org/meeting] https://www.aa.org [https://www.aa.org]

Beyond the Myths of Sex Work

This week we’re diving into the world of sex work and stripping—unpacking the stigma, stereotypes, and endless misconceptions that surround an industry everyone seems to have opinions about but few truly understand. Through three interviews with guests from different perspectives, we explore the realities behind the myths, the sense of community that exists within the industry, and the ways society often dehumanizes what it refuses to fully understand.

Red Flags We Romanticized

Romanticizing red flags is basically our brain’s way of turning warning signs into personality traits we think we can “handle.” In this episode, we unpack the behaviors we once excused—emotional unavailability, inconsistency, intensity that felt like passion—and why they can feel so intoxicating in the moment. With humor and a little honesty, we explore the difference between chemistry and chaos, and what it actually takes to stop confusing the two.
