There are seasons in our journey when nothing is published, yet everything is becoming.


This episode is a love letter to those sacred spaces — the silences in between.

In The Sacred Pause, Angela reflects on the myth of consistency, the truth of coherence, and the quiet work of spiritual integration. She speaks from lived experience — navigating the ego’s fear of being “invisible,” while honouring the deeper call to step back, realign, and descend into truth.

You’ll hear about:
– The pressure to always be seen, and why it no longer holds power
– The redefinition of consistency as fidelity to the soul
– The invisible richness of the pause — the space where Spirit reweaves us
– An invitation to give yourself permission to rest, realign, and remember

Whether you are in a creative winter, a deep healing process, or simply catching your breath — this episode is a sacred permission slip.

The pause is not a delay. It is part of the design.

Welcome, beloved.

This episode is called The Sacred Pause.
Subtitled: The Silences In Between.

I want to begin not with words — but with breath.
So wherever you are,
gently inhale.
And exhale.

Again.
Inhale.
Exhale.

Because this episode…
is about what happens between the noise.
Between the sharing.
Between the podcast uploads, the newsletters, the teachings.

It is about the silences.

Before today’s episode…
the last podcast I released was in April.

And for a moment — I felt that familiar pull.
The temptation to explain.
To say “Sorry I’ve been away”
or “Life got busy”
or “I’ve been meaning to come back.”

But none of that is true.

The truth is this:
I have not been absent.
I have been listening.

And living.

In the silences in between.

You see, we live in a world that fears silence.
That rushes to fill every gap.
That confuses constant output with purpose.

But Spirit…
She speaks in stillness.

She shapes us in the quiet.
Not for performance,
but for presence.

The Sacred Pause is not a gap in content.
It is a season of integration.
It is where the soul gestates truth — not for publication,
but for coherence.

And for me — this sacred pause was not empty.

It was full.
Full of downloads.
Full of quiet revelations.
Full of the invisible work of directing the descent of the Divine Feminine.

There has been a great internal reorganisation —
a spiritual renovation —
that could not be done in public.

These past weeks have not been about absence.
They’ve been about alignment.

There’s something I need to name honestly…

The ego me — the part conditioned by external expectations —
would’ve been flagellating me for not being visible enough.
Not posting enough.
Not being “consistent.”

That voice would start obsessing over who unsubscribed from the email list.
Who didn’t engage.
What people might be saying about my absence.
What they were thinking of me.

But here’s what I’ve learned — what I lived in this sacred pause:

It is more important to be consistent with my own truth
than with other people’s expectations of productivity.

My learning, my becoming, my unveiling —
these matter more than performance.

I’ve given myself permission to choose integrity over illusion.
And so should you.

Because true consistency —
is the consistency of being in alignment with your soul.

Not how often you show up for the world.
But how honestly you show up for yourself.

One of the deeper lessons that revealed itself during my descent in the Yogi journey
was this exact shift in consciousness:

- Consistency is not about frequency. It is about fidelity.
- Fidelity to your essence. To your becoming. To your voice.

This is one of the hidden treasures of the sacred pause —
when life challenges us,
we are gifted a window to realign and recalibrate back to truth.

And so no, I haven’t been away.
I’ve been journeying.

There were days I was too full to speak.
And others where I was too emptied to form a sentence.

But in both places…
Spirit was with me.

And She said:
This too is the Work.

So if you’ve been in your own pause —
if the world told you you were behind,
or invisible,
or inconsistent —

Let me speak this blessing into you now:

You are not behind.
You are becoming.
You are not silent.
You are listening.
You are not lost.
You are deepening.

The sacred pause is not an interruption of the journey.
It is the journey.

Thank you for meeting me here.
In this space between words.
In this temple of breath.
Of silence.
Of truth.

Until next time…
May you trust the silence
as much as the sound.

Blessed be.
