Breathe. Pray.™ mug at the ⁠⁠Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ Store⁠⁠ ____ Are you someone who takes care of others well yet you leave little to no margin to take care of yourself? Do you need time in your day to care for your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wellness? Would you like to have more tools to help you establish healthy boundaries and habits that will help you be more mindful and consistent in caring for your whole well-being? If so, you are not alone and you are in the right place! Welcome to Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ This podcast is a prayerful space where you can give yourself permission to press pause in your busy day, give yourself margin to breathe into the present moment  and to pray, inviting God in to help you take care of your whole well-being. I’m Shawn Elizabeth George, a wife, mom of three, dog Mom to Georgia and a follower of Jesus. Even as a wellness professional, I haven’t always made time to care for my well-being yet life experiences - including a walk with cancer - have made me pause, and take a hard look at who and what matters most, and taking care of ourselves matters. I now approach caring for my whole well-being through a biblical lens, with God’s Word as my cornerstone, and it has been transformational. I am excited to share with you what I am learning so that you can put it into practice in your life as well!  If you are ready to renew your mind, grow peace in your heart, wellness in your soul, and appreciate your body, then grab that cup of coffee, tea or water, press play and let’s take a step of faith on this transformational journey together. Now is the perfect time in your day to… pause. breathe. pray.™ With care and hope, Shawn www.shawnelizabethgeorge.com Instagram Facebook
