What if fasting created more control over your stress, your mood, and the noise in your mind? In this Monday Muse, I share what a 14-day water fast taught me about irritation, overthinking, intuition, and the mental stories we follow without question.

By removing food, I saw how much of my reactivity came from my mind—not my hunger. A hangry moment in my own household showed me just how much power we give to habit, fear, and old beliefs. This episode explores what happens when you stop reacting automatically, trust yourself more deeply, and meet your day without believing every thought that appears.

If you’re navigating stress, impatience, or the constant hum of overthinking, this conversation offers a quieter, wiser way forward.
