How to Stay Calm When Everyone Else is Losing It

20 minutes

When's the last time you felt true inner peace for more than a moment? Not just a fleeting feeling, but an actual state of being?

In a world of 24-hour news cycles, constant outrage, and chaos at every turn, finding your center feels impossible. But here's what I've learned: your peace isn't just a nice-to-have—it's your greatest source of power. And there are forces (both in the world and in your personal life) that benefit from you staying reactive instead of reflective.

In this episode, I'm sharing why cultivating inner peace is an act of rebellion and how to stay grounded when everything around you is shaking.

You'll discover:

Why your peace is actually your power (and why others want to take it from you)

The real definition of peace—it's not what you think

How your nervous system hijacks your clarity when discomfort shows up

The MLK lesson about peaceful presence in the face of chaos

Practical ways to protect your energy and stay regulated when the world feels heavy
