Why The Soulful Pause Exists

The Question That Started It All

“Is this it?”

That was the question that sparked The Soulful Pause. It came in the middle of exhaustion, long before the brand existed, when life felt like a constant race with no finish line. For me, that race looked like endless FIFO shifts, 12-hour days, and the weight of proving I could “handle it all.”


But the truth? I wasn’t handling it at all. I was surviving, not living. And I know so many of you have felt that too.

Born From Burnout, Built With Heart

The Soulful Pause exists because the world doesn’t slow down for you, so you have to choose to slow down for yourself.

This space was created as a sanctuary for real people facing real struggles:

✔ Burnout and career fatigue

✔ The overwhelming identity shift of motherhood

✔ Living with chronic illness

✔ Mental and emotional weight that feels endless

We built this platform to remind you of something important: Rest isn’t weakness. It’s where your power returns.


Why Pausing Matters More Than Ever

Our modern world runs on urgency. Hustle culture glorifies exhaustion, and social media sells us a highlight reel of “perfection” that leaves us feeling like we’re failing.


The problem? Your body and mind aren’t designed for constant go-mode. Chronic stress rewires your brain, elevates cortisol, and keeps you stuck in fight-or-flight. That’s why pausing isn’t a luxury it’s a biological necessity.


A soulful pause isn’t just about taking a break. It’s about:

  • Regulating your nervous system so your body can heal

  • Reconnecting with your identity outside of roles and responsibilities

  • Reclaiming your time and energy so you can show up with intention, not depletion

Our Mission in One Sentence

To help you heal from the inside out, mentally, physically, and soulfully, through practical tools, compassionate coaching, and a community that gets it.


The Soulful Pause

1. Burnout Recovery with Real Strategies

We know burnout isn’t solved with bubble baths and “just relax” advice. Our coaching focuses on:

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Energy mapping

  • Boundaries without guilt

  • Practical recovery plans that fit real life


2. Parenthood Support That Honors Your Whole Self

Parenthood can feel like losing your identity in service of everyone else. We’re here to remind you: you’re still you. Through our sessions and resources, we help parents reconnect with themselves without guilt.


3. Chronic Illness Compassion

When I (Jaymee) was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis after giving birth, everything changed. I went from feeling strong to fragile overnight. That experience shaped our approach: honoring your body with gentle, adaptable strategies for wellness.


4. Mental Health Advocacy with Lacee’s Expertise

With over a decade in HR and a master’s in professional psychology, Lacee brings a mental health-first approach to every session. She knows the impact of stress, burnout, and life’s invisible weight and how to navigate them without judgment.


What Makes Us Different?

  • We blend science and soul. Our strategies are grounded in neuroscience, exercise science, and psychology, but delivered with heart and humanity.

  • We live what we teach. This isn’t theory. We’ve walked through burnout, identity loss, and chronic illness and rebuilt from the inside out.

  • We meet you where you are. No pressure, no perfectionism, just gentle guidance and realistic steps that fit your life.


Why This Work Matters to Us (and to You)

We exist because the world doesn’t need more noise, it needs more stillness. We exist because people are burning out faster than ever. We exist because you deserve to feel like yourself again.


This isn’t about another wellness trend. This is about sustainable healing and remembering that the most radical thing you can do in a world that glorifies hustle… is pause.
