Helping you calm the mind in a world full of noise.

Calm it Down

A Monday reality check about the difference between supporting others and taking on their burdens.

The Weight That Isn't Yours

Few things hurt more quietly than being misunderstood, especially by the people you love most.

In this episode, we talk about why being truly seen matters so much, how misunderstanding can shape the way we see ourselves, and how to find peace in knowing that not everyone will understand your story the way you wish.

Let’s Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

The Ache of Being Misunderstood

A Monday invitation to notice the stories we tell ourselves and question their accuracy.

Calm it Down: Morning Affirmations - The Narrator in Your Head

Not all grief comes from what we lose. Some grief comes from what never happened, the life you imagined, the love that never came, the path that never opened.

This episode holds space for that quiet kind of sadness. It offers words for what’s hard to name and reminds you it’s okay to mourn what might have been.

Let’s Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

The Grief of Things That Never Happened

A Monday invitation to drop the exhausting performance of trying to be impressive.

Calm it Down: Morning Affirmations - The Performance You Can Finally Drop

Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, and I sat down to talk about the power of meditation and why Transcendental Meditation has such a profound effect on the nervous system.

I’ve been practicing TM since reading Catching the Big Fish in 2017, and it completely changed how I approach stillness, creativity, and calm.

Listen in as we celebrate World Mental Health Day 2025 and explore how a few minutes of silence can truly change your life.

The Science of Stillness with Bob Roth | Calm It Down

Ever notice that the more tired you are, the harder it is to actually rest?That’s because rest isn’t just physical. It’s emotional too. And it takes trust. Trust that things can wait, trust that you can stop for a moment.

In this episode, we’ll look at the quiet beliefs that make rest feel so difficult, and how learning to receive rest can be just as powerful as learning to give effort, as we Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

Why Rest Feels So Hard When You Need It Most

A Monday reality check on the difference between true urgency and anxiety-driven rushing.

Everything Feels Urgent When You're Overwhelmed

That thing that once helped you get through might now be quietly holding you back.

In this episode, we talk about what it feels like to outgrow old coping strategies and how to let them go with compassion instead of shame.

Sometimes growth means thanking the armor that kept you safe, then gently setting it down as we Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

When You Outgrow Your Coping Mechanisms

A Monday acknowledgment that sometimes our effort becomes the obstacle to what we want.

The Exhaustion of Constant Effort

This episode comes from a listeners request and I LOVE the honesty in their asking. "What do you do when you HAVE to be around someone you just don't want to be around?" Great question. 

Let's face it, sometimes it's just difficult to get along with everyone! BUT, there are some things we can consider and possibly help in this "everyone be friends" landscape. 

Listen in as we learn a perspective we often let slide.
