In this episode, I reflect on our discomfort with silence.
Why does stillness feel so unsettling?
I share my own experience at a 10-day Vipassana retreat, where I saw how silence can stir up deep, hidden thoughts and why that’s actually a gift.
We explore how modern life keeps us distracted, and how choosing quiet moments can help us reconnect with ourselves. I guide you through a simple breath practice to begin your own journey into stillness.
Sometimes, the quietest moments speak the loudest. 💛

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
