#83 | Preventing Overwhelm: How Highly Sensitive People Can Use The Work of Byron Katie for Daily Stress Management

What if your stress could be your greatest teacher — even when nothing seems wrong? If you've ever sat down to do inner work and felt… nothing, you're not alone. In this episode, we explore the deceptively quiet moments when stress hides under the surface, how to approach "empty" practice time, and what it really means to treat self-inquiry as a daily meditation — not just a reaction to chaos. Discover how simply showing up — even when there's no obvious stress — can unlock hidden layers of growth. Learn why a daily rhythm of inquiry shifts your mind to recognize subtle stresses before they snowball. Hear how trusting your stress, rather than fighting or forcing it, turns the work into a spontaneous, nourishing habit. Press play now to experience how the meditative rhythm of The Work can deepen your awareness — even on the calmest of days.   Todd Smith, founder of True Inner Freedom Dreaming of a stress-free, balanced life?
