In this episode of Dance Studio Owner Life Coaching, Ginger explores why so many of us find it hard to sit in stillness or embrace boredom without background noise or distractions. From constant busyness to filling silence with TV, podcasts, or social scrolling, these habits often reveal a deeper discomfort—what life coaches call buffering.
Ginger explains how avoiding quiet moments can keep us from hearing our truest thoughts, dreams, and fears. She unpacks why we resist being alone with ourselves, how intimacy with others begins with intimacy with ourselves, and why facing uncomfortable emotions is the starting point for transformation.
If you've ever struggled with quiet moments, felt restless without distractions, or noticed yourself turning to food, work, or endless noise to drown out uncomfortable feelings, this conversation will help you pause, reflect, and begin listening to yourself in a new way.
