In a distracted world driven by many screens and ceaseless activity, many struggle with a restless, disquiet mind. We yearn deeply for inward rootedness and calm, yet the cultivation of quiet often feels abstract and out-of-reach. Yet quiet is, and always has been, essential to life.

Note: I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. At times, this episode speaks to a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week with Ginny Yurich or join me back here next Monday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!
