The Pause Project
Join the Movement
When life pauses unexpectedly, it can shake confidence, stability, and peace.
The Pause Project was created to remind federal service workers and their families that even in the pause —there’s purpose.
This pop-up beauty and wellness experience offers a safe space to rest, reset, and realign during difficult seasons. Through self-care, encouragement, and community connection, we help restore dignity, hope, and a sense of belonging.
Who It’s For
Federal employees and service workers affected by the government shutdown, including:
Military Personnel & Families (Active Duty, Reserve, Veterans)
Federal Contractors & Civilian Workers
Coast Guard, Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines
TSA, USPS, and other government agency employees
Any individual directly impacted by delayed pay or furlough
