SE #68: Don't Lose Yourself! Press Pause...

In today’s world, it sometimes seems like we’re being swept along by forces beyond our control. Maybe you find yourself constantly worrying about what others think, caught in a cycle of people-pleasing, or saying yes to things that drain your light rather than spark your enthusiasm. Sound familiar? When this sort of thing happens, we may find ourselves slipping down our own list of priorities, putting everyone else’s needs ahead of our own until we barely recognize the person staring back at us in the mirror. At Soul Empowerment, we believe that no matter what disorder swirls around you, staying grounded in your true self is not only possible—it’s vital. In this episode, we'll offer practical ways to remind you how to press pause and reclaim your place at the center of your own life.

Why is this so important? Science gives us some helpful clues. Numerous studies in psychology show that maintaining a stable sense of self—what researchers call “self-concept clarity”—is directly linked to emotional stability, resilience, and overall wellbeing. When we know ourselves, we’re less susceptible to anxiety, depression, and the negative impacts of stress. Self-awareness literally acts as a buffer against the storms of life. In moments of overwhelm, pressing pause and reconnecting with ourselves has even been shown to reduce levels of cortisol (the dreaded stress hormone), support immune function, and help us make decisions that align with our deepest values rather than fleeting fears. While we may not be able to stop the world from spinning, we do get to choose how we stand inside it.

With that in mind, here are some of the themes we’ll be exploring:

* Recognizing People-Pleasing Patterns
* The Voice of Ego vs. the Voice of Heart
* Learning to Pause Before Reacting
* Creating a New Priority List
* Breaking Free from Old Stories

Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to be carried along by the waves of outside expectation. Instead, you can plant your feet firmly in who you are, press pause on the noise, and listen for your soul’s true voice. Join us live and discover practical tools for saying “yes” to yourself—without apology or guilt. You’ll learn to set healthier boundaries, reconnect with your intuition, and walk away with resources to help keep you centered when life is moving a little too fast. We invite you to take a breath, hit pause alongside us, and rediscover the subtler art of being you.
