Power in
the Pause.
Because sometimes
the most powerful move…
is the still one.
You’re busy. You’re accomplished. You hold it all together.
But inside, you’re craving more calm, more clarity, and a moment to just breathe.
Power in the Pause is a mindfulness and self-compassion program created by Lauren Abrams—a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, lawyer, mom, and decades into recovery — designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the noise.
For the Ones Who Are Holding It All Together:
If you’re an entrepreneur and a mom, your brain is doing triple the work of a normal human — and it shows. You know how to do the things—check the boxes, show up, keep going. But you also know… you’re running on fumes.
What if there’s another way? What if, instead, you paused?
Power in the Pause
...
Power in the Pause ...
A space for high-achieving women who are ready to stop surviving and start breathing again.
Here, you’ll learn mindfulness and self-compassion tools that actually fit into your life. So you can feel calm, clear, and connected—even in the middle of the chaos.
You sit down to work… and get stuck in emails
You start one thing… then jump to three others
You’re always “on,” but not making real progress
You keep buying courses, but never finish them
You love your work, but burnout is real
The truth? It’s not a lack of discipline.
It’s that no one ever taught you how to protect your brain, your energy, and your attention in the middle of motherhood and business ownership.
Why Meditation Can Work for You!
-
That’s exactly why we meditate. It’s not about having no thoughts—it’s about learning to relate to those thoughts differently. Even noticing a busy mind is the practice. If your mind wanders a hundred times and you gently bring it back a hundred times, that’s not failing. That’s meditating.
-
You don’t need hours. Even one minute of intentional breathing can reset your nervous system. Meditation isn’t about checking out—it’s about checking in. You’ll find you actually gain time when your mind is less chaotic and more clear.
-
Maybe you haven’t found the right way yet. Meditation isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some people sit quietly. Others walk, breathe, listen, or even wash dishes mindfully. It’s not about being a different person—it’s about being more you, more fully present.
-
Life can be loud and distracting—and silence can feel strange at first. But within the quiet, there's space. Space to breathe, to hear your own wisdom, to remember who you really are beneath the noise.
You don’t need a silent retreat to come home to yourself.
You just need a moment. A breath. A pause.
Sign up to receive a collection of short (3–5 minute) guided meditations you can use anytime you need to reset—no yoga mat or silence required. You’ll get:
Quick breathwork for stress relief
How to Not Get Triggered (Helping you Respond, not React!)
Mini body scan for tension release
Emotional regulation tools you can access in seconds
“I learned so much, even though I’ve had so much meditation experience. Thank you.”
“I love the variety in each practice, the way you guided each meditation, and the way you facilitated group connection. THANK YOU ❤️”
“Loved your guided meditations. They are clear, calm, and soothing!! Loved the chats in between meditations. Loved the stories and poems.”
You don’t need more strategy. You need space to think.
If you’ve ever sat down to work and ended up spiraling through Slack, school emails, Canva templates, or what to make for dinner… the Power of the Pause mindfulness and self-compassion is for you.
Because clarity is your most underused superpower—and you get to reclaim it.

For years, I wore many hats—but I finally found the one that felt like home.
Lauren Abrams is a certified mindfulness and self-compassion teacher trained by Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and other world-renowned teachers. She’s also a mom, podcaster, lawyer, and someone who’s lived through deep transformation.
Her teaching is warm, non-judgmental, and deeply human. She believes that when we pause, we create the space to heal, grow, and live with more joy, calm, and purpose.
There is power in the pause.
It taught her that answers emerge in the stillness, that grace lives in the present moment, and that we can quiet the inner critic long enough to hear our own truth. Now, she helps others come home to themselves.
“Great experience! You were warm and welcoming, and most importantly - you were a calming and present facilitator. You are clear and kind in your communication and led with lots of grace!”
