So Your Client Wants to Pause… Here’s What to Do How to Handle Pause Requests Without Panicking, Protect Your Income, and Keep Clients in Your Corner.

Nothing shakes a freelancer’s confidence like hearing “We need to pause.” In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to respond, no panic, just practical scripts, mindset shifts, and contract strategies. You’ll learn how to stay calm, use your contract to protect boundaries, and reframe pauses as opportunities to reflect, reset, and rise.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

1. Stay Calm & Ask Quality Questions: Avoid worst-case assumptions—gather facts first.
2. Contracts Are Your Shield: Always know if you have a pause clause; if not, add one.
3. Cap Pause Time at 90 Days: Protect your income, pricing, and energy.
4. Payments Continue During Pause: Keeps cash flow predictable and prevents scramble scenarios.
5. Reframe Pauses as Opportunities: Use the downtime to refine, pitch, or simply recharge.
