Meet our founder

Carolin Dahlman - Founder

I'm Carolin Dahlman, a Swedish political journalist with 30 years of experience in high-pressure media environments. I regularly comment on political and societal issues in Swedish television and radio, and I've spent decades as a political debater — navigating fast deadlines, constant public scrutiny, and endless performance demands.

I created Power Pause to help other ambitious professionals, leaders, and high achievers experience the same transformation.

My mission is simple: give busy people a fast, effective way to reduce stress, stay strong, and sustain success — in just five minutes.

For a long time I pushed hard, rushed through stress, made mistakes, and sometimes damaged relationships simply because I never paused.

Everything changed when I discovered how a short, intentional power pause could reset my mind, calm my body, sharpen my focus, and restore my energy — even on the busiest days. Those tiny moments have transformed my ability to perform, communicate, lead, and stay emotionally balanced.

I still love the hectic lifestyle, but now I can handle it — and I'm more productive than ever.

Power Pause blends neuroscience, psychology, and simple daily rituals designed for real life. Not woo-woo. Not slow. Not unrealistic.

Just powerful, practical tools for people with big goals, big responsibilities, and big dreams.

Because when high performers stay strong, they don't just survive — they excel.

Our Symbol

Green Enso - Power Pause Logo

Our logo is a green Enso.

In Zen Buddhism, the Enso symbolizes enlightenment, strength, elegance, and the universe — created in one fluid brushstroke.

The open circle represents growth and movement, and the beauty of what is still becoming.

Green reflects healthy vitality and sustainable energy — strength that lasts, and calm focus without burnout.

You are always expanding. Growth doesn't require perfection — it means you're on your way.
