In this opening episode of The Home Within, Darnell Davis guides us back to the body, the breath, and the quiet places we’ve been running from. Because after fear is faced… after the fight is over… your nervous system still needs somewhere safe to land.
This episode is a love letter to everyone who’s ever felt like they are their anxiety—like their racing heart and spiraling thoughts define them. Darnell reminds us that anxiety isn’t a villain—it’s an overprotective bodyguard that just needs retraining. And healing? It doesn’t start with a perfect life. It starts with one deep breath and the radical belief that you are not broken—you’re becoming your own safe place.
Highlights include:
- Why anxiety is actually trying to protect you
- The power of stillness as a nervous system reset
- What “peace as a practice” really looks like
- A Soul Food Assignment to create your own daily “pocket of peace”
This isn’t about escaping your panic. It’s about learning how to stay—gently, slowly, and safely. Because peace isn’t out there waiting to be found. It’s already in you. And today, we begin the journey back home.
