Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, yo yo. What's good? Fam Zaiden Cruz here, your
resident digital detox guru, spitting truth bombs hotter than your
Wi Fi connection on a Friday night. Listen up, because
today we're talking about silence. Yeah, I said it. Silence.
In this world of constant notifications, never ending tiktoks and
news feeds that could give you an anxiety attack faster
(00:21):
than a viral challenge gone wrong, silence, it's practically extinct.
But guess what, this ain't your grandma's meditation app. People,
We're gonna break down why ditching the noise for even
a few minutes can be like hitting the refresh button
on your soul. Trust me, your brain will thank you later.
All right, let's get real. Ever, feel like your head
is a freaking rumba just running around in circles. That's
(00:43):
what constant stimulation does to us. It throws our brains
into overdrive, leaving us exhausted and scattered. It's like trying
to focus on an essay while watching five episodes of
Stranger Things at the same time. Impossible, right, Silence is
the ultimate reset button. When you give your brain break
from all that digital noise, it can finally chill out,
process information, and come back sharper than ever. Think about it.
(01:07):
When was the last time you truly just sat in silence,
no phone, no music, not even those weird ASMR videos
though I'm not judging, like real, actual silence. You know
that feeling when you're hiking in nature and can hear
the birds chirping in the wind, rustling through the trees.
That's the kind of peace we're talking about. It's like
hitting pause on your life for a few moments to
(01:29):
just breathe and be present. And here's the kicker, Fam,
Silence doesn't have to mean sitting in complete darkness chanting
OHM for hours. Unless that's your jam, then go for it.
Even a few minutes of intentional quiet can make a
huge difference. Take a walk without music, ditch the phone
while you eat, or just spend five minutes staring out
(01:49):
the window and noticing the world around you. It's like
hitting the refresh button on your brain. Now I know
what you're thinking, Zayden, I'm glued to my phone. My
life revolves around notifications. Hear me out, Fam, You don't
have to go full monk mode. Just start small, maybe
set aside fifteen minutes each day for some intentional silence,
(02:10):
turn off the notifications, put your phone on airplane mode,
and just breathe. You'll be surprised at how much calmer
you feel and how much more creative energy you have
when your brain isn't constantly buzzing. Speaking of feeling that
piece picture this, you're studying for an exam that feels
like it could kill your vibe. You've been scrolling through
TikTok for hours, trying to cram the material in your
(02:31):
head while simultaneously watching cat videos and comparing yourself to
influencers who clearly have their lives figured out. Spoiler alert,
they don't. Your brain is fried. You're on edge, and
the thought of actually studying feels like climbing Mount Everest.
Then bam, you remember Zaden's wisdom about the power of silence,
So you grab your headphones, put on some calming music,
(02:53):
not that hype beast playlist from last week, shut off
those pesky notifications, and finally focus on the material. Suddenly,
things start to click, the information sinks in, your stress
levels drop, and you realize that sometimes all it takes
is a little quiet time to unlock your inner genius.
And there you have it. Fam, Silence isn't just for
(03:13):
monks and meditation gurus. It's a superpower you can use
every day to level up your life. It helps you focus,
reduces stress, boosts creativity, and even improves your sleep. Goodbye insomnia.
So go ahead hit that mute button on the world
for a few minutes each day. Trust me, your brain
will thank you for it. Now, let's get real. This
(03:35):
ain't some fluffy inspirational speech, right, This is about actionable steps.
You gotta implement these tips, no cap So I'm dropping
a challenge on yah. Pick one thing from today's episode
and actually try it. Turn off your notifications for an hour,
meditate for five minutes, or just take a walk in
silence and observe the world around you. And hey, tag
(03:56):
me in your tik toks, DM me your thoughts, or
stitch this episode with your own takes. Let's keep this
conversation going, Fam. Remember to follow, rate and share the

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
