What is Permission to Pause™?
Permission to Pause is a monthly gathering online for women. It is a time for women to pause and take time out to remember who they are as Daughters of God.
It’s a space to slow down, breathe, and remember that God does not measure discipleship by exhaustion. This is not about fixing yourself.
If you’re looking for a perfect host or a perfectly polished gathering, this may not be the place for you.
But if you’re looking for someone who shows up honestly, imperfectly, and with an open heart — you’re in the right place.
Permission to Pause isn’t about getting it “right.”
It isn’t about fixing yourself or proving your faith.
This space is held by someone walking the journey alongside you — learning, resting, and continually relying on the Savior.
It’s about creating room to see yourself as a daughter of God,
and allowing His grace to meet you where you are.
Here you will experience:
-
A faith-centered, calming atmosphere
-
Guided reflection and a “pause moment” (no pressure to share)
-
Simple tools you can take home (journaling prompts, practices, or scriptures)
-
Connection with others who get it
-
A reminder that you can move forward without rushing — and without needing to be perfect
And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a [wo]man should run faster than [s]he has strength. And again, it is expedient that [s]he should be diligent, that thereby [s]he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.
~Mosiah 4:27
This gathering is for you if:

This is not a space for performance or perfection.

You just need to come as you are. That is Enough.
