Episode 95: Don't Settle for a Life of Quiet Desperation
from Spilt: A Podcast with Charlene and Tonya · host Tonya and Charlene
Most people don’t fall apart — they keep functioning. In this episode, we talk about quiet desperation: what it looks like, why it happens, and how it often hides beneath competence, responsibility, and “being fine.”We explore how survival mode can silence desire, numb emotion, and disconnect us from ourselves — and why simply naming this experience can be a powerful first step toward growth. This conversation is part of our Season 6 theme, Growing Through It, and invites honesty without pressure and awareness without urgency.If you’ve been showing up while feeling quietly unfulfilled, you’re not alone.Email us at mailto:[email protected] if you have comments, questions, or ideas about future episodes.
