Peace may have been step one, but today we’re talking about its equally powerful sibling: presence.

In this episode of F Around & Feel Better, I dive into what it actually means to be present, why so many of us avoid it, and how this simple (but not always easy) practice can help you feel calmer, more grounded, and actually alive in the moment.

You’ll learn:

What presence is (and what it definitely is not)

Everyday examples of when we’re not present

Why presence can feel uncomfortable at first 

How presence helps you break out of autopilot and actually choose your next move

The connection between presence, peace, and your nervous system

A simple practice you can do anytime to bring yourself back into the moment

And, of course, we’ll end the episode by practicing presence together. 

I created an anxiety-melting guided meditation infused with sound therapy that's great for anxious, ADHD, and beautifully chaotic brains. It’s beginner-friendly, powerful, and totally free.

Welcome to the very first real episode of F Around & Feel Better!

Today, we’re talking about what I believe is the starting point for feeling better: peace.

👉 What the hell even is peace?

I’ll walk you through what happens in your brain and nervous system when you’re stuck in stress vs. when you’re grounded in peace, and why building this skill is like your secret superpower.

And of course, we’ll end with a short guided breath practice to help you actually feel it right now.

If you’re ready to go deeper, I’ve created Peace in Your Pocket: The Anxiety Relief Toolkit — three guided audios (breathwork, tapping, and a sound-infused meditation) to help you bring peace with you anywhere.

Let’s F around, practice peace, and start building the calm we all deserve.

Welcome to F Around and Feel Better! I’m Corey Grandview, a (slightly) vulgar, queer, neurodivergent sound therapist on a mission to help you manage stress, calm anxiety, and live a more intentional, peaceful life.
