Most people can’t sit in silence.
They fill every space with noise, distractions, and chatter because sitting with yourself is confronting.
But what if the real magic happens in the stillness?
In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about silence, presence, and the deep discomfort that comes from simply being. From spa days in Melbourne to five-day silent retreats, I’ve come to understand that quiet isn’t empty, it’s full of truth.
If you’re the kind of woman who avoids slowing down, who resists being alone with her thoughts, or who doesn’t know how to “do nothing” without guilt… this one is for you.
Let’s talk about nervous energy, distraction, healing, and why doing less can actually give you more.
We’re diving into:
- Why some of us fear silence
- How stillness helps you meet yourself
- What we’re really running from when we stay “busy”
- The truth about transformation and space
This one’s a reset.
Get ready to meet yourself in the quiet.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
