In this episode of WORDS MATTER, Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, invites you into a conversation that may just change the way you define peace. This isn’t the kind of peace you wait to find once life calms down—it’s the kind you create, step by step, through aligned, intentional action.
With her quote, “Purposeful progress equals peace,” Deanna shares a raw and grounded message for anyone who's ever felt stuck in stress, spinning in the noise, or wondering if peace is even possible. She introduces a practical tool called the Peace Gauge to help you discern what supports your peace—mind, body, and soul—and guides you through how to start building a life that feels like home, even in the midst of the mess.
What Listeners Will Learn:
• Why perfection isn’t the path to peace—purpose is
• How to use your own Peace Gauge to make aligned choices
• The difference between reactive action and purposeful movement
• Why peace, gratitude, and joy are interconnected
• Three small shifts that build momentum toward peace
Memorable Quotes:
• “Purposeful progress equals peace.” - Deanna Ley
• “Peace must outweigh pressure.”
• “Peace isn’t something you wait to feel. It’s something you create. One aligned, intentional step at a time.”
• “You can’t change what you don’t name.”
• “Peace doesn’t mean the world around you calms down. It means you know how to stay steady when it doesn’t.”
• “You are worthy of a life that feels like home in your mind, your body, and your soul.”
This episode is your reminder that peace isn’t a far-off destination—it’s a practice. One intentional step at a time.
Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER.
