Episode 19: “The Stillness After the Storm — Learning to Live Without the Chaos.”
🎧 Episode 19 Description
After you leave chaos behind, peace can feel uncomfortable. The silence hums, the calm feels suspicious, and your body keeps waiting for the next storm. In this heartfelt episode, Coach Gigi shares how healing sometimes begins with trembling hands and tear-filled prayers.
She opens up about the loss of her mother, the painful search for justice, and how God met her in that grief with the words, “Be still and know that I am God.” Out of that moment came the original song “Be Still and Know,” written and composed by Geleta Parker with piano accompaniment by DeBary Thompson.
Together you’ll explore how the nervous system can relearn peace, why calm feels so foreign after trauma, and how stillness becomes trust when we stop feeding the chaos.
