Learning to Sit With It

Unlearning the Hustle

We’ve been taught to measure our worth by how much we do. But what if rest isn’t laziness… what if it’s love? In this episode of Finding Stillness, we explore what it means to slowly step away from hustle culture — not just in how we work, but in how we treat ourselves. This is an honest reflection on why doing less can feel so hard, and how reclaiming rest can be a quiet act of resistance and self-compassion. 🕊 In this episode: * The subtle ways hustle shows up in our daily lives * Why slowing down often brings guilt * How to begin honouring rest as a sacred rhythm, not a reward You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to exhaust yourself to matter. You are enough, even in stillness.

Chasing Awe: A Way Back to Myself

There are seasons when you don’t feel like yourself, when the days blur, your joy dims, and everything feels slightly out of reach. This episode is for that quiet in-between. In this honest return, I reflect on what it means to feel disconnected from who you once were… and what it might mean to become someone new. It’s not about fixing the fog, but learning to walk through it with softness. ✨ In this episode: * Sitting with the unfamiliar self * The quiet power of awe as a thread back to presence * Letting go of who you were, to make space for who you’re becoming * Choosing stillness, even when it feels uncertain You don’t have to rush your way back. You don’t have to be the person you once were. You have to notice what stirs your heart, and follow it gently. Take a seat. You’re safe here.

Learning to Sit With It

Not everything needs to be solved. Some emotions are here to be witnessed, not fixed. This short episode is a quiet reminder that stillness isn’t always about feeling good — it’s about feeling honest. About learning to sit with discomfort, with silence, with yourself… without rushing to escape it. 🕊️ Inside: * A reflection on why we resist sitting still * What it means to gently witness emotion without judgment * A brief stillness practice to carry with you Take a breath. Take a seat. You’re safe here — even in the in-between.

Presence Isn’t Always Comfortable

Stillness isn’t always peace. Sometimes, it’s the first time you hear everything you’ve been avoiding. In this episode, we explore the discomfort that rises when the world goes quiet — the emotional noise, the inner tension, the truths we usually outrun. We often think of presence as soft and serene… but what happens when presence brings restlessness, anxiety, or grief? This isn’t failure — it’s honesty. 🕊️ We’ll sit with: * The myth of always-peaceful mindfulness * What stillness can reveal beneath the surface * How to stay present with what feels uncomfortable * A simple, grounding practice to hold your emotions softly If presence feels heavy right now, this episode is for you. No pressure to fix. Just an invitation to stay.

A Letter I Never Sent

Some words stay quiet for years. Unsent. Unspoken. But not forgotten.    In this deeply personal episode of Finding Stillness, I share a letter I never sent that held more of me than I realised. It's a quiet reflection on the ache of unspoken truth, the tenderness of what we carry in silence, and the healing that happens when we finally let it out.    Whether it's a letter to someone who left, someone who stayed, or a version of yourself you've outgrown, this episode is a soft invitation to explore what you've been holding. 🕊 This isn't about confrontation. It's about release.  It's about letting go of the weight, even if the words were never meant to be heard.  Take a breath.  Take a seat.  You're safe here.
