The Alignment Issue

Letter from the Editor
Dear beautiful reader,
Welcome to Issue 3 of Pause Magazine — a space where ambition meets intuition, and where the women we feature are actively shaping a world we all want to live in.
I’m beyond excited to share this issue’s cover story featuring Sarah Jenks and Kelly Taveras. What an absolute honor it has been to witness their evolution — not just as entrepreneurs but as partners in creativity and truth. Their journey has reminded me that sometimes alignment asks us to leap before we fully understand the where or the how — and trust that the landing will meet us.
Creating this season’s In Balanced Company has shown me again how powerful it is to stay curious about the women we cross paths with — whether it’s been twenty years or twenty minutes.
I met Sabrina Moyle in my 20s, working on an art catalog together he was this bright light of creativity. I have not seen her since but I looked her up— and of course, she’s doing the coolest things.
Andre Toro is the photographer behind my “I’m turning 50!” photoshoot. Her energy is radiant, grounded, and deeply inspiring.
And Toni Bergins? We first met at Kripalu on my 40th birthday, when I landed in her dance class — which felt like a destiny moment disguised as a coincidence. Here she is, a decade later, bringing even more movement, joy, and wisdom into the world.
This issue is anchored in the threshold moment we’re all stepping into — reflections at the end of a year and ideas for the one ahead. You’ll find business strategies, money inspiration, and some wonderful soul tools to support you in creating your most extraordinary life. And no issue would feel complete without me chiming in on planning. Right now, it’s all about dreaming into next year — and the choices that will make space for your own expansion.
In every issue, I am blown away by the women we get to feature — and in this one, more than half of the experts are also members of FLOW365, the community where I support entrepreneurial women to imagine, plan for, and actually live their dreams.
And because we’re releasing this in the swirl of the holiday season, of course there’s support for that too! My dear friends Tess Masters and Nina Manolson are here with ideas for wellness and radical self-kindness — which we all need a little more of this time of year. I’m also delighted to introduce our fresh take on a gift guide — filled with meaningful, heart-led finds.
Thank you for pausing with us — for choosing presence in a world that asks for urgency. I hope this issue inspires you to step into the year ahead with clarity, intention, and a whole lot of courage.
And thoroughly enjoy any holidays you might celebrate on your way there!
With so much love,
Mia
Q&A
Sarah Jenks and Kelly Taveras
We asked and they answered. What is ceremony? Can you explain how ceremony weaves into the business that you’ve created? Can you share an example of something recently that has happened that has really stretched you and what you’re learning from it? You told me that you only do business on phones. Can please elaborate? A lot of people who have a strong spiritual practice have a hard time committing to the future because the practice is about being here now. So how do you hold those two things — being able to drop into your heart in the now and then being able to plan forward?
