The Confidence Chronicles

Most people can’t sit in silence.They fill every space with noise, distractions, and chatter because sitting with yourself is confronting.But what if the real magic happens in the stillness?In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about silence, presence, and the deep discomfort that comes from simply being. From spa days in Melbourne to five-day silent retreats, I’ve come to understand that quiet isn’t empty, it’s full of truth.If you’re the kind of woman who avoids slowing down, who resists being alone with her thoughts, or who doesn’t know how to “do nothing” without guilt… this one is for you.Let’s talk about nervous energy, distraction, healing, and why doing less can actually give you more.We’re diving into:Why some of us fear silenceHow stillness helps you meet yourselfWhat we’re really running from when we stay “busy”The truth about transformation and spaceThis one’s a reset.Get ready to meet yourself in the quiet.🌀 Want to go deeper?
