If you joined me last week, you’ll remember we talked about that closet — the one where we tend to stuff things we don’t want to deal with. Not just the physical clutter, but the emotional kind too. You know, the conversations we’ve avoided, the frustration we’ve ignored, the pain we’ve shoved down and hoped would just stay tucked away.

But what happens after the door opens and things start spilling out?

This week, I want to talk about what comes next — how we begin to create emotional space and experience peace without overwhelming ourselves or trying to fix it all at once.

We’ll talk about:

• 
  

  Why emotional peace doesn’t mean feeling nothing — it means having space to feel without being overwhelmed

  
  


• 
  

  What it looks like to stop re-stuffing the closet after we’ve started the healing process

  
  


• 
  

  Three gentle rhythms to help you create more breathing room in your daily life

  
  


• 
  

  How to bring your emotions into prayer — and why that simple step can shift everything

  
  


• 
  

  A realistic view of peace that works even in our everyday, imperfect lives

  
  

This episode isn’t about pressure or perfection. It’s about walking at your pace, with God beside you, and learning to build a life where there’s space to feel, process, and heal.

1. 
   

   What does emotional peace look like for me — realistically, not perfectly?

   
   


2. 
   

   What’s one emotion or situation I’ve been trying to avoid this week?

   
   


3. 
   

   What’s one small rhythm or boundary I could start to help me create space for peace?

   
   

If you’re finding it hard to do this alone, I’d love to walk with you. You can book a free clarity session on my website, MarieMonville.com, or send me a message on social media. You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
