About Permission to Pause

Welcome! I’m Meagan, wife & a mom to 4, a certified health & life coach, mindfulness trainer, and labor and delivery nurse. Since 2011 I have guided countless women through moments of excitement, fear, pain, relief, joy, loss, and growth through their pregnancy and birth stories. Now, I’m here to help you navigate the ups and downs of a full life with the same care and encouragement. This show is for moms balancing all the things--marriage, kids at home, and part-time work–women who are ready to step out of daily go-go-go mode and into a life filled with nourishment, energy, and connection.

2. 21 [Re-release] Pace Your Race: "I Receive, I Give" Meditation

This is one of my and my clients' favorite meditations. And one of the most popular podcast episodes from Season 1. For the woman who is in a season of giving and could use a few minutes to herself, to receive, let this be a nourishing pit-stop. I find a little goes a long way when you allow it to be enough for now. * Connect with Me on Instagram https://instagram.com/meaganhubbardcoaching [https://instagram.com/meaganhubbardcoaching] * DM or Email hello@meaganhubbard.com for details about the: Time Triage 30min free coaching call  or the Time Glow Up 6-week coaching experience  * Why I say “Eat lunch and make new mistakes.”Season 1 Episode 1 of Permission to Pause: “Eat Lunch and Make New Mistakes” The story behind the why [https://youtu.be/kD6G_yHBTa0?si=OKZMNwtSo-Lk-ujO]

2.19 [Rerelease] Pace Your Race: The Power of Meditation

This week I have worked more than usual shifts at the hospital. I thought the easiest way to share a valuable podcast would be to still record a 5 min episode rather than the usual length. Then I remembered the series I did last year that contains some of my most downloaded episodes. And since I don't believe anymore that things "take time," what a better way to share by example than to rerelease an episode. No recording at all this week, still share something I believe is highly valuable. One of the best ways to be productive in less time, and include rest, is to utilize your resources like I am now. This is the first episode of a series I shared last "Maycember" here on the podcast. Enjoy. SHOWNOTES: Let's talk meditation! I've been practicing for a little over 3 years. Sometimes more regularly, sometimes less. I find it very valuable, and yet I still find myself in seasons where I am going fewer and farther between and I crave a return to it. So I created something to share with you here where we can practice together. Today I talk some basics and we do a 2min meditation together, because 2min works and "counts"! Maybe you're learning about it and starting for the first time. Maybe you're like me and you've done it before, but a reset sounds great. Maybe you do it regularly, but doing it knowing others are doing it with you also sounds wonderful! No matter your story, you're invited. The "Pace Your Race" meditation series starts officially next week, there are more details at the end of this episode. I have found meditation to be one key ingredient to my ability to be less reactive in relationships, more aware of my emotions, and more thoughtful and self compassionate. Never 100% perfect, but a very noticeable difference in my life experience. I'm not promising a silver bullet, but I do believe in miracles and I think adding meditation and mindfulness to your self care and/or spiritual practices does lead to miracles. I hope you'll come along!

2.17 Things Don’t Take Time: Power, Pause & Progress

What if I challenged you to consider that “It just takes time” is a false statement? That we’ve had a tendency to give time alone way too much credit for our wins or our complaints? Is the idea that “things don’t take time” a second-nature or a curious new mindset for your brain? I hope this is as exciting for you to explore as it has been for me! So, if it doesn’t take time, let’s open a conversation about what it does take. And if you want a more personal application, I have a openings for a free coaching call where we’ll focus on your life, what you want, what it does take, and what opens up for you, if it doesn’t take time.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
