What do you do when the life you knew disappears, and you have to decide what comes next?
In The Pause Before the Leap, Nicole Holness takes readers through a deeply personal journey of loss, motherhood, resilience, betrayal, faith, and transformation.
After the death of her husband, Nicole found herself navigating a life she had never imagined-raising seven children while grieving, rebuilding, making difficult decisions, and learning how to move forward when there was no clear path ahead.
But this is not simply a story about surviving loss.
It is a story about what happens when you stop allowing circumstances, emotions, or other people's choices to determine the direction of your life.
Through her experiences, Nicole discovered three powerful principles: silence, restraint, and power.
Silence taught her to listen before responding.
Restraint taught her that strength does not require reaction.
Power taught her that true strength begins with mastering yourself-not controlling others.
Together, these principles became the foundation for what Nicole calls the pause: the space between what happens to you and what you choose to do next.
In these pages, she explores what it means to grieve without becoming consumed by grief, to experience betrayal without surrendering your future, to accept help without believing you are weak, and to rebuild a meaningful life while still carrying memories of the one you lost.
The Pause Before the Leap is for anyone standing at a crossroads, recovering from loss, rebuilding after adversity, questioning what comes next, or realizing that the life they once imagined is no longer the life they are meant to live.
Sometimes you don't need to leap immediately.
Sometimes you need to pause.
