Pause for Purpose
Embodied Purpose Mentorship for Midlife Women In Transition
Move through life in a way that honors your inner calling and is supported by the wholeness of who you are — body, mind, emotions, spirit.
Midlife is not a crisis.
But it is a time when what once worked no longer does.
You’ve built a life you’re proud of.
You’ve made meaningful contributions.
And still, there’s a sense that something is shifting inside you — even if you can’t fully name it yet.
You may have clear ideas about the book you want to write, the work you want to bring forward, or the way you want to lead or live differently.
And yet…
Follow-through feels inconsistent.
Progress takes more effort than it used to.
Pushing yourself no longer produces the results you expect.
Not because you lack clarity, discipline, or capability.
But because your whole system is asking for a way of moving that it can actually support.
This season of life calls you toward wholeness.
It asks you to learn to listen, recognize when it’s time to move—and when it’s time for stillness—and respond in ways that honor your inner calling and your full capacity.
Midlife is a biological redesign.
It’s a time when changes in your hormones, nervous system, and emotional landscape begin to affect how you move through the work and how you think, sense, and feel.
Many women notice shifts such as:
greater sensitivity to what feels aligned — and what doesn’t
less tolerance for what drains energy or attention
a stronger pull toward meaningful, purpose-driven work
renewed access to creativity, discernment, and inner knowing
This season can support deeply meaningful work and contribution — not by excess effort, but by learning how to work with what’s changing, rather than against it.
Why the old approaches haven’t worked
What you’re experiencing isn’t a mindset problem.
It’s a shift in how your whole system operates—one that can’t be resolved solely through insight, inspiration, or trying harder.
Many women arrive here having explored therapy, programs, courses, or even somatic practices on their own. Each may have helped, but only to a point. That’s because the changes unfolding at midlife ask for more than information or short-term relief.
Your system is asking for a different kind of support—one that respects pacing, embodiment, and integration over time.
Without this, it’s easy to loop.
Old patterns return when life speeds up.
Strategy stalls without somatic alignment.
Creative impulses stay ideas instead of becoming lived expression.
You’re not stuck because you lack focus or discipline.
You’re stuck because clarity without embodiment can’t create traction.
You don’t need more information.
You need integration.
Pause for Purpose is a 1:1 embodied mentorship designed for women in midlife navigating change that can’t be rushed or solved by insight alone.
This work unfolds slowly and relationally. It offers space to pause, listen, and make sense of what’s emerging — not by adding more strategies, but by integrating what your body, emotions, and inner knowing are already communicating.
The mentorship is guided by the SOMA Framework (Source → Open → Move → Attune), a simple rhythm that supports inner resourcing, discernment, and sustainable action over time.
Rather than pushing for outcomes, we work with what’s present, allowing direction to arise from clarity and readiness.
Pause for Purpose isn’t about fixing or transforming who you are.
It’s about creating the conditions for your next chapter to take shape in a way your whole system can support.
The Arc Of The
Embodied Purpose Method
ONE
Embodied Wise Woman
Rooted · Safe · Supported
We begin by slowing down and establishing internal steadiness. This phase supports nervous-system safety, softens old conditioning, and restores trust in your body as a reliable source of information.
TWO
Embodied Calling
Clarifying · Responsive · Emergent
From steadiness, clarity begins to take shape. Intuition deepens, discernment sharpens, and you start responding to what’s calling you forward—not by forcing action, but by sensing when something is ready shift.
THREE
Embodied Presence
Integrated · Embodied · Lived
What has shifted internally begins to show up in daily life. This may look like a creative project, a change in how you work or lead, or a quieter, more embodied way of living—supported by an inner steadiness rather than effort.
What starts to shift…
Over time, something begins to feel different in how you move through your days.
You start noticing when something is a true yes — and when it’s not.
You stop overriding the quiet signals your body has been offering all along.
The calling that once felt scary and unclear starts to feel alive and exciting.
Ideas that have been lingering…
The book.
The offering.
The shift.
The impact.
It all begins to unfold in its own timing, without the same internal drag because you’re finally aligned with the inner intelligence leading you.
You’re no longer pushing yourself forward.
You’re moving through life with your whole self.
Begin with a Mapping Session
Before entering the Pause for Purpose mentorship, every woman begins with a Pause for Purpose Mapping Session.
This is a one-hour, private session designed to help you slow down, take stock, and get clear on where you are — and what your system is ready for now.
During our time together, we’ll explore:
what your nervous system has been signaling — and how it’s been shaping your capacity, choices, and follow-through
the shift that’s trying to take shape beneath the surface, even if it doesn’t yet have clear language
how it feels to make decisions and live from your wholeness, rather than from effort, obligation, or habit
This session isn’t about making decisions or setting plans.
It’s about creating space to deeply listen to what’s emerging.
By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of what’s asking for attention in this season — and whether the Pause for Purpose mentorship feels like the right container to support it.
Program Details
A Private Mentorship
Pause for Purpose is a private mentorship for women in midlife who want thoughtful, attuned support during a season of transition — without templates, formulas, or rushing toward outcomes.
This work follows a full-cycle arc, allowing each phase to build naturally on the last. The pace is intentional. It’s slow enough to listen, steady enough to integrate, and responsive to what’s actually ready to move.
What the mentorship includes:
MONTHLY PRIVATE SESSIONS
These sessions provide dedicated space to settle, reflect, and make sense of what’s emerging. Together, we work with patterns as they arise, allowing clarity and direction to take shape over time.
CURRATED EMBODIMENT PRACTICES
You’ll receive custom audio practices such as grounding, intuitive listening, unwinding, and attunement. Each practice is intentionally chosen in response to what your system needs and added to your private client portal as the work unfolds.
PRIVATE BETWEEN-SESSION SUPPORT (Monday-Friday)
You’ll have access to private messaging support and spot coaching for reflection, integration, and embodied decision-making as real life unfolds between sessions.
To ensure this work is held with care and presence, I mentor a limited number of women at a time.
Your Investment
Private mentorship begins at $6,600.
This reflects the depth, presence, and ongoing relational support this work requires. Pause for Purpose is designed for women who are ready to engage in a slower, more attentive way — one that honors embodiment, timing, and integration over quick solutions.
Pricing and container details are confirmed after the Pause for Purpose Mapping Session, once we’ve had time to orient to what’s truly needed.
CLIENT SHARES

Common questions I get….
-
I get it — you might be wondering if this is going to be all crystals and meditation cushions.
Here’s the thing: spiritual doesn’t mean impractical.
My approach is grounded in biology, rooted in psychology, and honors both your practical needs and your deeper wisdom. We’re not bypassing reality — we’re working with all of who you are to create real change in your real life.
-
Pause for Purpose is designed for women in midlife who feel the stirring of a next chapter but haven’t been able to access the momentum, clarity, or alignment they know is possible.
You’re a fit if you’re ready for depth, nervous-system attunement, identity-level work, and embodied guidance—not quick fixes or more information.
-
The Mapping Session allows us to understand your nervous system, your deeper pattern, and the season you’re in so we can enter the mentorship with precision and respect for your timing.
It ensures we begin with clarity, alignment, and a shared understanding of the work ahead. It also gives us an opportunity to meet and ensure we’re a good fit.
This is part of the integrity of the container. It protects your transformation and sets the foundation for everything that follows.
-
You don’t have to know right now.
That’s the purpose of the Mapping Session—to clarify readiness, capacity, timing, and alignment.
Our time together will tell us far more than any guesswork can.

I’m Buffy Owens,
For more than twenty years, I’ve guided women through the profound transformation that occurs when they stop living from the mind alone and begin inhabiting the full intelligence of their bodies. My work sits at the intersection of somatic movement, breathwork, midlife neurobiology, and embodied purpose.
Through my signature SOMA Framework™, I help women soften the patterns that keep them guarded, re-pattern their nervous systems, and learn to listen to the signals their bodies have been trying to communicate for years. This is where clarity returns, creativity awakens, and next chapters finally become livable.
I specialize in supporting midlife women who sense a deeper calling emerging—women who are ready to move with more ease, lead with embodied wisdom, and step into the work their lives are asking them to claim.
Because when a woman lives from her embodied truth, she doesn’t just change her life—she changes the field around her. Her presence becomes medicine. Her work becomes a ripple. Her purpose becomes a force for healing.
★★★★★
Buffy's presence and insights allowed me to gain real clarity in a situation that I've been struggling with. She was able to make a complex challenge feel so much more manageable, and I can see a way forward now. Her years of experience in healing work are so apparent. Thank you, Buffy.
