Discovering the Power of Pausing with Kim, the Pause Lady
Ever feel like you're on a hamster wheel, constantly racing but never truly getting anywhere? Our guest for this episode, Kim Groshek - or as she's affectionately known, the "pause lady" - has discovered a powerful antidote to our fast-paced world: the power of the pause. Kim takes us on a fascinating journey from her childhood love of computers, through her career in computer science, and finally to her life-altering realization of the need to disconnect from technology. Our discussion pivots around a tragic incident involving a young man and online predators, which motivated Kim to create the "pause challenge," advocating for scheduled breaks from screens and devices.
But the conversation doesn't stop there. We delve into the seemingly counterintuitive benefits of boredom and the magic that happens when we allow our thoughts to percolate. More than a call to minimize screen time, this episode extends an invitation to face uncomfortable spaces and heal from trauma. Through her Pause Power Online platform, Kim provides the necessary tools and guidance for this transformative journey. Whether you're struggling with presence or simply curious about the power of the pause, this episode has something for everyone. Let's press pause together and unlock the power of being present in the moment.
