What does it actually take to hear your inner voice when your brain- and life- doesn’t work like a Zen meditation retreat? 

In this episode, Erica and Erin dismantle the quiet-whisper mantra, why stillness isn’t universally accessible, and how this advice quietly reinforces control (and yes, capitalism).

Have a story about when someone hit you with “Your soul speaks in whispers, not shouts”?
