Description

Explore the concept of silence as one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. I reflect on how easy it is to avoid silence because of the discomfort it brings and the fear of facing our own thoughts and emotions. I share why learning to sit with silence is essential for meeting our inner suffering with compassion and for supporting both emotional and physical well-being.

Drawing inspiration from Thich Nhat Hanh’s book You Are Here, I talk about mindfulness, presence, and what it means to gently stay with our pain instead of pushing it away. I invite you to experiment with small moments of silence each day as a way to support healing, personal growth, and deeper connection—with yourself and with others. I close the episode with holiday wishes and a reminder that although silence can feel challenging, it is a simple and deeply valuable gift.
