Get a Whole Life on FM 107.1

The Power of the Pause

Featuring: Kate Larsen

Get a Whole Life is all about making the most of real-life challenges and opportunities. So in this episode, we talk with Ann W., a busy working mom in the midst of an important life pause.

Taking a sabbatical from a demanding job in order to recuperate her sense of center and clarify her sense of direction, Ann is looking for some guidance on how to make the best use of the summer ahead of her, and how to develop a plan for what comes next.

To that end, we invite accomplished life coach and author, Kate Larsen, to facilitate Ann's exploration and help her come up with a strategy that makes her feel more grounded about where's she at — and more confident about where she's headed (even if that means not having all the answers right now).

In the process, we learn something about the process of discovering our core priorities in the face of doubt and distraction, about the value of stopping before we start, and about setting limits and boundaries around the things that matter most.

Kate Larsen is a certified coach, and the author of Progress Not Perfection: Your Journey Matters. She's also a regular contributor to Get a Whole Life and Experience Life magazine. Learn more about her work at www.katelarsen.com.
