A gentle pause, happening Monday


AN INVITATION TO PAUSE (not another workshop) WORKSHOP

Hello, you wonderful human you! 👋😊

This time of year tends to pull us in many directions. And yet, here you are reading this — even if you’re just skimming. Thank you.

I want to invite you to something next Monday at 12pm Eastern that is intentionally not another workshop-workshop.

I’m calling it a Sur-PAUSE Party!

This isn’t a place to learn something new, fix anything, or make progress on a goal.
It’s a chance to practice showing up differently.

Instead of doing, we’ll be being.

The idea is simple: to create a shared space where you’re invited to pause — on purpose — alongside other humans who are choosing the same.

Bring something you enjoy, especially something you don’t often make time for:
• a favourite warm drink
• that book you’ve put aside
• a puzzle, game, or creative project
• a journal
• or nothing but your marvellous self

There’s no agenda.
No expectations.
No requirement to speak or participate in any particular way.

If it feels helpful, we can gently create smaller spaces during the session — for quiet company or light conversation. Nothing will be pre-set. We’ll follow what feels right in the moment.

You’re welcome to pop in, say hello, stay quietly absorbed in whatever you’ve brought, or simply enjoy being in the room together.

Why join?

🔸 Because rest doesn’t need to be earned.

🔸Because joy doesn’t need to be productive.

🔸Because sometimes doing nothing is the most restorative thing we can do for ourselves – and one another.

If this sounds like something you could use, I’d love to have you join us.


with care and warmth,

xo Coach Lisanne

PS If you’re looking ahead to the new year, I do have a few 1:1 coaching spots opening in January.

Look for an email next week.

Hey there! Last month’s goal-setting workshop was so warmly received that it sparked a new idea — another way I can nourish a space for us to come together and care for ourselves individually, yet in community. Thank you to those who attended and helped affirm something I deeply believe in: the power of compassionate connection. That same spirit has inspired a new rhythm for us: a series of free monthly workshops designed to support our wellbeing in all its forms. These sessions are gentle...

October is... ADHD AWARENESS MONTH ↓ and a time to give thanks 💛 Hi Reader, It's Fri-yay and here in Canada, as we head into Thanksgiving weekend, I’m pausing to give thanks — for this work, this community, and the conversations we share. 💛 This week I had the joy of speaking at the Professional Certified ADHD Coaching Association on self-care as an ethical and essential professional practice. The response reminded me of something we do in the Steady Spark Collective — where every week, we...
