The Pregnant Pause: Why Rest is the Key to Your Next Breakthrough
Hey Overachiever,
I see you. You’re running, running, running. Because that’s what you’ve done all your life.
You were the athlete who gave it everything on the court, the student who pushed for straight A’s, the woman who refuses to settle for anything less than excellence. Hustle is in your DNA.
But here’s something that successful people understand: the power of the pregnant pause.

What Is the Pregnant Pause?
The pregnant pause isn’t about stopping forever. It’s about taking a breath before you launch forward again.
It’s realizing that rest is not the enemy of success—it’s a necessary part of it.
It’s understanding that working harder doesn’t guarantee a breakthrough—pausing long enough to assess your direction does.
It’s stepping back, catching your breath, and making sure you’re running toward the right goal before you sprint full speed ahead.
As a former athlete, I get it. Rest can feel uncomfortable. Maybe even unproductive. But what if I told you that the most elite performers build intentional pauses into their training? Recovery isn’t weakness—it’s what allows them to come back stronger.
Think about a game-winning play—it doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because the player took a moment, assessed the court, and made a calculated move. The same applies to your life. Are you running just to run, or are you running with purpose?
Be Intentional with Your Next Move
