Ep 35: Learning to Sit With the Quiet Instead of Fearing It

The new year can feel loud and demanding. In this episode, I talk about the quiet and why many of us learned to fear it. When you grow up in chaos or survival mode, silence can feel unsafe, so we stay busy and distracted. I share how to slow down without forcing calm, how to tell anxiety apart from intuition, and how healing can start by listening instead of fixing. This is about feeling safe enough to be yourself.⟡ TRY THIS REFLECTION Notice how your body reacts to quiet. Name the urge to distract or move. Ask what feels loud right now and what sits underneath. A few seconds of noticing is enough.⟡ ABOUT THE HOST, NAOMI SPARKS Naomi Sparks is a mom, wife, healing coach, and a cult survivor.
