• Healing the Mother Wound: Cuddle Up Method (Meditation)

  Mother’s Day can bring up a swirl of emotions—joy, grief, resentment, or longing. If your heart feels tender around this time, this episode and meditation is for you.   We explore the often-invisible “mother wound”—not what was said, but what wasn’t. It lives in the quiet spaces: the comfort that never came, the sensitivity that was too much, the silence you learned to keep just to feel safe.   These early emotional imprints shape our adult patterns: – People-pleasing – Silencing your truth – Ignoring your needs – Struggling to set boundaries – Feeling like you’re too much or never enough   As a self-love coach, I help women notice how their inner critic was often inherited—absorbed from caregivers and culture. In this episode, I guide you through a gentle process to begin healing: my signature CUDDLE UP Method, which invites you to sit with what hurts, listen to what needs love, and become the supportive presence you always deserved.   Your inner child doesn’t need fixing—she needs you to stay and be with the big emotions that perhaps your caregivers couldn't.   Come home to yourself, one loving breath at a time in this guided meditation to cuddle up with your inner child.   Sending you lots and lots of love, Audrey   Mentioned in this episode:   My signature CUDDLE UP Method (from my upcoming book) Healing practices for self-trust and emotional safety Why your inner critic isn’t your fault—and how to transform it   Join me for Upcoming Retreats & Offerings: Self-Love Retreat – July 21 in the Pacific Northwest: A day of healing, community, embodiment, and soul nourishment.

• Healing the 7 Wounds of the Modern Priestess with Meredith Rom

  In today’s episode of Mindful Pause, Audrey sits down with healer and spiritual guide Meredith Rahm to dive into the seven core wounds of the modern priestess—and how we can heal them. These ancestral wounds, deeply rooted in our DNA, often show up as fears, insecurities, and blocks that hold us back from our true power.   Meredith walks us through the seven wounds:   1.     The Persecution Wound: A fear of being seen and stepping into our power, healed through the safety of sisterhood.   2.     The Sisterhood Wound: A struggle to trust other women, softened by opening up in safe, guided women’s circles.   3.     The Money Wound: Guilt around charging for our spiritual gifts, shifted through creating sacred exchanges and embracing abundance.   4.     The Isolation Wound: The pain of feeling outcast, remedied by joining likeminded communities and embracing connection.   5.     The Sensitivity Wound: Overwhelm from our deep sensitivity, transformed by learning energetic boundaries and seeing sensitivity as a superpower.   6.     The Unworthiness Wound: Imposter syndrome and self-doubt, healed through witnessing and community support.   7.     The Wound of Self-Condemnation: Negative self-talk and shame, lifted by reconnecting with our innate wholeness and divine nature.   And if you’re ready to dive deeper, Meredith’s Way of the Priestess Initiation kicks off on March 13, 2025. It’s a year-and-a-day journey of healing, empowerment, and transformation in sacred sisterhood. I can’t recommend it enough. https://www.meredithrom.com   If you’re ready to explore these wounds and reclaim your power, this episode is for you.

• The Three Cs for Joy: Replacing the Minds Cancers from Jay Shetty

  Hi dear one, We’ve all been there—scrolling through social media, comparing our lives to someone else’s highlight reel. Or getting stuck in the cycle of complaining or criticizing. These “cancers of the mind,” as Jay Shetty calls them, create so much unnecessary suffering.   But here’s the good news: We can choose differently.   My dear friend Jeanie Iberlin shared her 3 C’s for joy: compassion, connection, and calmness.             •           Instead of comparing, practice compassion—be gentle with yourself.             •           Instead of complaining, find connection—ask yourself: How can I connect with this moment or someone around me?             •           And instead of criticizing, invite calmness—pause, breathe, and notice the beauty around you.   This week, I invite you to notice when comparison, complaining, or criticism arise, and choose compassion, connection, or calmness instead.   Let me know how it feels. And if you’d like more guidance, tune in to the latest episode of Mindful Pause Podcast. Let’s create more joy together.   With love, Audrey   P.S. Want to go deeper?
