The Pause I Planned… and the Pivot I Didn’t (Pause with Purpose September Series)


✨ The Pause You Plan — and the One You Don’t

Let me tell you something I’ve learned about September…

It’s not just a change of season. For me, it’s a signal.

🍂 The energy of fall invites us inward — to reflect, recalibrate, and pause before the year races toward holidays, family birthdays (👻 hello Halloween!), and end-of-year to-do’s.

Your Pause is your Compass - Shilpa

A few years ago, I started intentionally designing my autumn around pause. I made space between the doing. My energy softened. My mind cleared. My body felt safe again.

This year, I did the same:

✔️ I planned my Pause With Purpose season — spiritually, energetically, and in business
✔️ I stacked systems to work with my energy, not against it
✔️ I blocked time for movement, creativity, and sacred podcasting days

But life had other plans.
A personal pivot nudged me off course — and reminded me why the pause matters more than ever.

And while I’ll share more about that moment in this week’s episode, here’s what I want you to know:

💨 Your breath is with you through every pivot — planned or not.
And you take more breaths in your lifetime than all the pivots combined.

So maybe the goal isn’t just to avoid burnout...
Maybe it’s to build in resilience — and learn to navigate with your inner compass.

Your Pause is your Compass - Shilpa


💡What’s been working for me lately:

🌅 Morning Pause
Non-negotiable silence, meditation, breathwork

🗓️ Themed Days
Midweek = podcasting. Fridays = flex. Sundays = spacious

🧭 Holistic Lifestyle Mapping
Lately, I’ve been paying closer attention to how I pause — noticing where I feel drained, aligned, or creatively alive.
Almost like I’m calibrating a Pause Compass — one that points toward the lifestyle I want to lead.

📆 Buffer Space
Even rest time gets dropped if it’s not on the calendar

It’s not about doing more.
It’s about breathing with intention.

Let’s keep breathing through this — together.
Because the more aware we are of how we pause, the more clearly we can chart our way forward.
🧭 Your pause is your compass.

✨ Pause Into the Rhythm of Your Archetype Last month, I hinted that something new was brewing during this extended season of pause. 🍂 What began as a September experiment has stretched longer than planned — and for good reason. This week’s bonus episode, Paws with Purr-pose, is a gentle reminder that sometimes the deepest wisdom comes from the simplest pause… like a purring cat curled in your lap. 🐈💓 Just like our furry friends, each of us has a unique way of pausing, recharging, and...

✨ Pause to Rewire, Grace to Rewrite Let’s rewind for a moment.At the start of this year, I intentionally planned for a season of pause.Not to check out — but to check in.To realign before the next pivot.To dial in to what truly matters. I even chose September as the moment I’d pause and ask myself,“How’s the dial-in going?”Was I listening to my heart?Or slipping into old patterns of rushing, fixing, bracing? What I didn’t plan for…was just how many real-life moments would test that pause —...

✨ Pause to Feel, Grace to Receive If you’ve been following my Pause with Purpose journey this month, you might already know — my dad’s health has been front and center. He’s finally back home now, and while I’m doing my best to support from a distance, I’ll be honest… I’ve felt torn. Torn between showing up for him and showing up for everything else — business, family, life. Some days I catch myself deep in a loop of frustration.Not doing enough. Not doing it right. Not giving myself grace....
