Episode 297 - "The Quiet Season: Finding Calm in the Noise"
As the world speeds up for the holidays, your nervous system may be begging for the opposite. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the subtle, often-overlooked invitation this time of year gives us to slow down, soften our pace, and reclaim the parts of ourselves buried under busyness. They talk about the psychology of overstimulation, why your brain feels noisier in December, and how simple rituals of stillness can restore clarity, patience, and emotional presence. You’ll learn how to create micro-moments of calm even when life feels loud, reconnect with grounding practices that support your nervous system, and rediscover the kind of quiet that doesn’t feel lonely—but luminous. This is your permission slip to step out of the noise, breathe deeper, and let this season be not one of pressure… but of peace.
