Episode 31: Quick Hits: The Silent Cost of Noise: How to Reset Your Nervous System
Have you ever noticed that when you feel moody, irritable, or just… off, it’s not always because of your hormones, your sleep, or what you ate? Sometimes, it’s simply because there’s too much noise.
In this episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle and Tab unpack the hidden cost of noise—how the constant bombardment of sounds, information, and inner chatter overwhelms our nervous systems, especially during perimenopause and menopause. And more importantly, why silence—something so simple—can be one of the most healing tools we have.
From the rising flood of information we take in daily (hundreds of “newspapers’ worth” compared to our mothers’ generation), to the three main types of noise we face, Michelle shares both the science and the strategies behind finding calm in a noisy world.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- The three types of noise that shape our lives: auditory, informational, and internal—and how each one keeps our cortisol high.
- Why silence is not “wasted time” but essential rest and repair for your brain and nervous system.
- Relatable examples of how constant noise impacts mood, focus, and even physical health.
- Practical strategies to invite more quiet into your day—like doing a personal “noise audit,” creating daily rituals of silence, and using nature as a reset.
- How to reframe silence as a gift for yourself and for your family, especially your kids.
- Why protecting your quiet time is even more critical on draining days (work meetings, sports events, caregiving).
Key Takeaway
Silence doesn’t have to mean hours of meditation or escaping to a cabin in the woods. It can be as simple as five intentional minutes in the car, a moment in the shower, or pausing before you answer a text.
And because this episode is shorter than usual, Michelle invites you to give it a try right now. Instead of pressing play on your next podcast, take those few extra minutes to give your mind and nervous system the quiet they desperately need.
