Dr. Moniek Garside Celebrates the Release of The Power of Your Pause with an Atlanta Book Signing and Fireside Chat
Atlanta, GA – July 15, 2026 – Licensed clinical social worker, speaker, educator, and author Dr. Moniek Garside proudly announces the release of her highly anticipated new book, The Power of Your Pause: From Autopilot to Awareness – The Transformative Power of Stillness. Available beginning July 15, 2026, the book offers readers a practical and compassionate guide to slowing down, reconnecting with themselves, and creating a life rooted in purpose rather than survival.
Drawing from nearly two decades of experience in mental health and her own personal journey of resilience, Dr. Garside challenges the cultural belief that constant productivity equals success. Instead, she invites readers to discover how intentional pauses can strengthen emotional well-being, improve relationships, reduce burnout, and create lasting personal transformation.
"We often believe we need to keep pushing, producing, and proving ourselves," said Dr. Garside. "But some of life's greatest breakthroughs happen when we pause long enough to truly see ourselves. This book is an invitation to step off autopilot, embrace self-awareness, and choose a life that aligns with who you truly are."
More than a self-help book, The Power of Your Pause blends evidence-informed mental health principles, personal reflection, and actionable strategies that empower readers to move from surviving to thriving. Whether navigating stress, major life transitions, burnout, grief, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves, readers will discover practical tools to cultivate mindfulness, establish healthier boundaries, and make intentional choices that support long-term well-being.
The release comes at a time when conversations surrounding stress, mental health, and work-life balance have never been more important. Through her compassionate and relatable approach, Dr. Garside reminds readers that slowing down is not falling behind—it is often the first step toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.
The Power of Your Pause is available in paperback and Ebook through major online retailers, bookstores, and libraries worldwide.
To celebrate the release of The Power of Your Pause, Dr. Garside will host a Fireside Chat and Book Signing on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in Atlanta, Georgia. The event will feature an intimate conversation about the inspiration behind the book, the importance of intentional living, and practical ways to incorporate the power of the pause into everyday life.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Dr. Garside, purchase signed copies of the book, and engage in meaningful conversation centered on mental wellness, resilience, and personal growth.
