What happens when 9 passionate, purpose-driven, business owning women get together and hit pause?

They step away from the noise, deadlines, and demands…
They slow down long enough to breathe, reflect, and reset…
And they create space for clarity, creativity, and connection.

Today, we did exactly that at “The Simplified Pause Retreat.”
I had the absolute honor of co-leading this experience with Nichole Alexander, and wow — what a day!

A huge shout-out to our incredible beta group of women who joined us, trusted the process, and helped us walk through six powerful sessions designed to simplify, realign, and spark momentum for 2026.

And a heartfelt thank you to our local small businesses who kept us fueled, relaxed, and nourished throughout the day — your food, hospitality, and heart made the experience even more special. 🫶

We left with new ideas, deeper connections, and fresh inspiration for our businesses — and Nichole and I left deeply grateful for your energy, openness, and courage to pause with purpose.

Your dedication, love, and resilience truly inspire me. I’m so looking forward to being back on November 19 for Pausing with Purpose in the Demands of Care—a time to rest, reflect, and refuel together.

How Taking a Pause in Your Day Can Benefit Your Personal Growth

In a world that demands more from us every day, taking time to pause might feel counterintuitive. But here’s the truth: pausing is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for wellness and growth.

Think of a yellow traffic light. It’s not just a warning; it’s a moment to slow down, reassess, and decide how to move forward. In life, these Yellow Light Moments are the times we give ourselves permission to reflect and recalibrate.

The Cost of Ignoring the Pause

Pushing through exhaustion without pause leads to burnout. Productivity declines, relationships suffer, and your health takes a backseat. Instead of thriving, you’re merely surviving. Stress and overwhelm compound over time, leading to mental fog, emotional fatigue, and even physical ailments. By embracing intentional pauses, you can reclaim your energy, gain clarity, and refocus on what truly matters.

It’s not about stopping everything—it’s about pausing long enough to ensure that your efforts align with your goals. Taking time to reflect helps you prioritize what’s truly important instead of being swept away by urgent distractions.

Practical Ways to Pause

Start your day with five minutes of quiet reflection.

Schedule a midday break to step away from work and reset.

At the end of the day, review what went well and what could improve tomorrow.

Your One Actionable Nugget

Today, identify one area of your life that feels overwhelming. Is it your workload, your sleep, or your self-care? Take five minutes to write down one small, achievable step to address it. Remember, progress, not perfection, is the goal.

30-Day Plank Challenge: November Edition!

November is the perfect month to focus on gratitude, growth, and grit — so let’s strengthen our foundation together with a 30-Day Plank Challenge! 💪

Starting November 1, join me in committing to one of the most powerful core moves out there — the plank. It builds strength from the inside out, improves posture, and supports every movement you do — in and out of the gym.

• Follow along daily.
Hold your plank for as long as you can with good form. Some days will feel strong, others will stretch your limits — but showing up is where the magic happens.

• How to Regress (Make It Easier):

If you’re just starting, try an elevated plank on a wall, counter, or bench.
The higher your hands, the less load on your core — helping you focus on alignment and control first.

• How to Progress (Make It Harder):

Ready to level up? Add one of these variations for an extra challenge:

Plank Jacks – Add a cardio burst

Hip Dips – Sculpt your obliques

Shoulder Taps – Strengthen stability

Plank with Leg Lift – Engage glutes and balance

Side Plank – Build lateral core strength

3 Rounds Instead of 1! – Endurance for the win

• Perfect Your Plank: Form Tips

Align everything. Wrists under shoulders, spine neutral, heels pressing back.

Engage your core. Think about pulling your belly button gently toward your spine.

Squeeze your glutes. This protects your lower back and strengthens your plank.

Keep your head neutral. Gaze slightly ahead of your hands, not down or up.

Breathe. Don’t hold your breath — steady breathing builds endurance.

• Goal: By the end of 30 days, you’ll notice more than stronger abs — you’ll feel more grounded, powerful, and confident from the inside out.

💬 Join the Challenge:

Post your progress, tag Jennie Phillips Coaching, and use so we can cheer you on every day this November!

Let’s pause with purpose, strengthen our core, and finish the year strong — one plank at a time. 💛

From Boots 👢to Heels 👠— and a Yellow Light Moment in Between 💛

Last Sunday I was standing in boots, in a barn, teaching about vitality with a burrow beside me.
Three days later, I was in heels, in a hotel ballroom, speaking to high-level executives about the exact same thing.

Different settings. Different audiences.
Same message: everyone needs a Yellow Light Moment.

Whether you’re leading a team, running a business, teaching a class, managing a household, studying for exams, training clients, caring for others, or wrangling a donkey 🫏— we all need to pause long enough to breathe, reflect, and realign with what truly matters.

Because the power to maximize your health and vitality isn’t found in the hustle — it’s found in the pause. 💛

10/24/2025

This week, I had the incredible honor of serving as the keynote speaker for Northwestern Mutual’s St. Louis meeting sharing the message of Yellow Light Moments: Living by Design, Not by Default.

Standing in a room filled with dedicated advisors, directors, and team members—all striving to make an impact in their clients’ lives—we talked about the power of pausing. How taking a moment to Yield, Listen, and Move can transform not only our performance, but our relationships, energy, and leadership. Remembering it’s about alignment, intention, and purpose.

Northwestern Mutual’s core values of faith, personal responsibility, personal growth, feedback, and generosity fit beautifully with the YLM framework; and it was inspiring to see so many people open to pressing pause and reflecting on how they show up in life and work.

Thank you for welcoming me so warmly, for your engagement, and for leading with both heart and excellence. Here’s to more moments of reflection, renewal, and vitality.
