Michael Galyon: Why Calm Feels Uncomfortable (and How to Embrace It)

Ever feel like life is moving at 100 miles per hour, and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t hit the brakes? Between constant notifications, endless to-do lists, and the weight of expectations, it’s easy to lose yourself in the chaos. It’s like we’ve forgotten how to pause, breathe, and just be.

In this episode of Superlife Podcast, I sit down with Michael Galyon, mindfulness coach and author of Let It Settle, to explore why we’ve become so wired for stress—and how we can start breaking free.

Michael Galyon is a mindfulness coach, author of Let It Settle, and an expert in emotional regulation. With a certification in mindfulness and years of experience as a trainer and speaker, he helps people cultivate calm, self-compassion, and deeper connections in an increasingly chaotic world.
