Shownotes

The holidays can be a time of high stress. What if a tiny pause could help you respond thoughtfully instead of reacting to the stress, so you can cultivate connection instead of pushing your partner away?

Today, we talk about the power of the pause and why it's so important at this particular time of year. I’ve brought back clips from previous guests to offer you three perspectives on why pausing can be so powerful for your relationship:

  1. You'll hear from Chantel Landeros, who talks about the 90-second pause in any kind of conflict
  2. You'll hear from Kate, who talks pausing to examine your energy when it comes to invitations
  3. And you’ll hear from Mary Beth Luedtke, who invites us to pause and identify the trigger from our past that is impacting us in the present moment
