Power in
the Pause.

Lauren Abrams

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 ...

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.

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.

“I felt very safe and supported.  Love your depth, plus your sense of humor. I found it very easy to get into the meditations you lead  (and it’s usually very difficult for me to get into meditation) Great job! Thank you!!!”

“Thank you, Lauren! This was a beautiful experience, and sharing it with an amazing group of women was empowering, humbling, grounding, and truly special. I appreciate you opening your heart and your wisdom. Lots of love and gratitude to you.”

“Thank you so much, Lauren, for this meaningful, positive, and empowering workshop. You were welcoming, warm, kind, inspiring, and insightful. I loved the in-person opportunity and the YouTube links so we can continue the practice at home.  This experience has brought much joy.”

Why I teach meditation
(And why it might matter to you, too)

  • I didn’t come to meditation because I wanted to be calm.
    I came because I was tired of holding everything together.

    On paper, I was doing it all—lawyer, mom, entrepreneur, mentor.
    But inside? I was running on fumes, navigating heartbreak, burnout, and a brain that wouldn’t shut up.

    Stillness wasn’t just foreign. It felt impossible.

    Until one day, I stopped. Just for a moment.
    And in that pause, I found something I didn’t know I’d lost: myself.

    Meditation isn’t about escaping your life.
    It’s about meeting it—with more grace, more honesty, and more compassion than you thought possible.

    It’s not about “clearing your mind.”
    It’s about getting curious about what’s going on in there.

    It’s not about fixing yourself.
    It’s about remembering you were never broken.

    I teach meditation and self-compassion because I know how painful it is to live on autopilot.
    I know what it’s like to take care of everyone but yourself.
    And I know the radical shift that happens when you learn how to pause—with presence, not punishment.

    I’ve taught lawyers, judges, educators, moms, women in recovery—and every single time, I see the same quiet unfolding:

    The breath gets deeper.
    The inner critic softens.
    And the truth you’ve been chasing... starts to rise.

    So no—you don’t need to be “good at meditating.”
    You just need to want something more than just making it through the day.

    That’s why I teach.
    That’s why I invite you in.

    Let’s begin—right where you are.

  • 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.

“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!”
