Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ | Cancer, Self- Care, Patient Support, Encouragement, Hope, Diagnosis - Treatment, Chemotherapy, Faith Over Fear
*Top 5% Globally Ranked Podcast* Season 2 - Encouragement, Support, and Hope for Cancer Patients Season 1 - How to Live from the Inside Out Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with cancer? Are you feeling worried, scared, and uncertain about the future? Do you need encouragement, support and hope as you navigate this unexpected journey? If so, I wholeheartedly understand, and I am grateful you are here. In this podcast you will learn scripture and principles to put into practice to help you keep your eyes, ears and mind focused on Jesus so that you will experience more peace within through your cancer journey. My name is Shawn Elizabeth George. I am a wife, mother of three, dog mom to Georgia, and a follower of Jesus. In 2017, I was diagnosed with a rare salivary gland cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma, when a tumor was found in my nasal cavity, growing into the roof of my mouth. From diagnosis and surgery through treatments with proton beam radiation and low-dose chemotherapy, I journaled about what I learned about God through my experience. Why? Because I believed that God uses all things for good, and if I made it through, I wanted to support others facing cancer, along with their families and friends, by sharing what I learned to encourage them. Throughout my cancer journey, using God’s Word as my cornerstone was transformational. I am grateful to be here to share what I have learned so that you can apply His Word through your journey as well and in turn be encouraged, feel supported and have hope. Whether you follow Jesus or not, please know you are welcome here and are invited you to join me to… Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ Let’s invite God into your cancer journey and embrace His Word as our guide to care for your mind, body, and soul. Sit back, relax, and listen. Let’s take a step of faith together on this transformational, healing journey. With love, care and hope, Shawn www.shawnelizabethgeorge.com

Do you ever find yourself ruminating on thoughts that aren't true or serving you? If you do, you are not alone.
On this week's episode of Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ I will share three steps to help us renew our minds and a scripture we turn to and mediate on to help us.
Summary...
Three Steps
1. Acknowledge the thought
2. Turn to something new and true
3. Choose productive thoughts to meditate on instead.
Scripture of the Day
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. - Philippians 4:8

Are you someone who takes care of others well yet you leave little to no margin to take care of yourself? Do you need time in your day to care for your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wellness? Would you like to have more tools to help you establish healthy boundaries and habits that will help you be more mindful and consistent in caring for yourself?
I am so grateful you are here!
This podcast is a prayerful space where you can give yourself permission to press pause in your busy day, give yourself margin to breathe - into the present moment - and to pray, inviting God in to help you take care of your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical well-being.
Hi, I’m Shawn Elizabeth George. I am a wife, mom of three, and a dog Mom to Georgia who loves Jesus. As a former Health, Physical Education, and yoga teacher I have always loved health and wellness! Yet much of my life I thought being healthy meant that if I looked good on the outside then I would feel well within. The interesting thing with that is when I looked my best on the outside, is when I was really struggling with anxiety and depression. And when I have felt the most peace within, was when I had cancer. Having these experiences made me rethink what health and wellness really are. When I stopped chasing the wind and following the current health and wellness trends and instead held on to scripture and what God’s Word says about the greater purpose of our minds, hearts, bodies and Spirit, it renewed my perspective on health and wellness.
I am here to share with you foundational truths from God’s Word that are tools you can use to help you be well and live healthier and more fully. I am excited to share this with you!
If you are ready to renew your mind, grow peace in your heart, wellness in your soul, and appreciate your body then grab that cup of coffee, tea or water, press play and let's take a step of faith on this transformational journey together.
Now is the perfect time in your day to pause, breathe, pray.™
With love and hope,
Shawn

Do you have regrets of something you said or did - something you didn't say or didn't do? Me too.
On this week's episode of Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ I will share something I heard recently that was a reminder of how we are to release our regrets so that we will be lighter within.
Summary...
We need to take responsibility.
We need to ask for forgiveness.
We need to remember once we have done those two things, God has "deleted those files," and we need to too.
Scripture of the Day
"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" - John 1:29

Have you ever thought about if you are more like a lion, or more like a lamb? I hadn't myself until recently and I came to realize I am both, depending on the circumstances. How about you? Why I am asking this is because on this week's episode of Pause. Breathe. Pray.™ I will be sharing the significance of the lion and the lamb in relationship to Jesus, especially as we enter the holiest week of the year in our faith. Also, our meditations this week are on Joshua 1:9 (for those who need more courage like a lion) and Ephesians 4:2 (for those who need to be more gentle like a lamb.).
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. - Joshua 1:9
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.- Ephesians 4:2

Hi, I am Shawn Elizabeth George, and as a wife and mom of three, life - and my thoughts - can be busy and chostic.

Are you someone who cares well for others but you leave little to no margin to take care of yourself? Are you seeking to make space to care for your whole well-being?
If so, you are not alone and you are in the right place! Welcome to PBP!
I’m Shawn Elizabeth George, a wife, mom of three, dog Mom to Georgia and a follower of Jesus. Even as a wellness professional, I haven’t always made time to care for my well-being yet life experiences - including a walk with cancer - have made me pause, and take a hard look at who and what matters most, and taking care of ourselves matters. I now approach caring for my whole well-being through a biblical lens, with God’s Word as my cornerstone, and it has been transformational. I am excited to share with you what I have learned so that you can put it into practice in your life as well!
Give yourself permission to press pause in your busy day, to breathe - into the present moment - and to pray. Let’s invite God into the conversation and turn to His Word as our guide to care for your whole well-being.
With care and hope,
Shawnn
