Your Heart Was Made for This: How to Find Calm in a Chaotic World

What if the path to calm wasn’t about doing more — but learning how to rest? In this deeply grounding episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with Oren Jay Sofer — meditation teacher, author of Say What You Mean and Your Heart Was Made for This — to explore how presence, communication, and rest can restore our nervous systems in a noisy, divided world. They uncover why so many of us struggle to rest, how self-worth and performance are intertwined, and what it really means to live and communicate from the heart. From reclaiming our right to rest to learning mindful communication in the age of overwhelm, this episode will help you reconnect with your basic goodness and find peace in everyday life.
