In a world that celebrates constant hustle, endless productivity, and always being "on," The Intentional Pause is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with what matters most. Hosted by Dr. Chris Sopa, an Industrial Organizational Psychologist, executive coach, speaker, and entrepreneur, this podcast explores the transformative power of pausing so you can move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and intention. Inspired by life-changing experiences that taught her the importance of pausing and putting herself back into the equation of her own life, Dr. Chris shares insights, stories, and conversations designed to help listeners navigate leadership, personal growth, self-awareness, resilience, and well-being. Whether you're a leader facing complex challenges, a professional feeling stretched too thin, or someone searching for a deeper connection with yourself, this podcast offers practical tools and meaningful reflection to help you create a life aligned with your values. Because sometimes the answers we're seeking aren't found in doing more—they're found in the pause. Join us each week as we slow down, listen inward, and discover the wisdom, courage, and possibilities waiting in the pause.(C) 2026 The Intentional Pause Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Self-Help Success

    E1: The Pause That Changed My Life
    Jul 2 2026


    In the very first episode of Intentional Pause, Dr. Chris shares the deeply personal story that inspired this podcast. After a life-changing health crisis at age 33 forced her to stop, she discovered that slowing down wasn't a setback—it was the beginning of profound transformation.

    In this episode, you'll hear how chronic stress, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the need to stay in control led to a major wake-up call, and how taking an intentional pause helped her heal, change her mindset, and build a new life and career.

    You'll also be invited to take your own "Pause with Purpose" by reflecting on one small way you can slow down this week and put yourself back into the equation of your life.

    If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or like life is moving faster than you can keep up, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the most powerful step forward begins with a pause.
