In this episode, I get real about how perfectionism almost stopped me from sharing my message with the world. We all know that voice in our heads telling us to wait until everything is perfect, but what if "perfect" is the enemy of "done"? Join me as I explore the power of embracing messy authenticity and using your voice, even when it's not polished. You'll hear my own story of overcoming self-consciousness and the surprising benefits of revisiting past recordings. It's time to hit publish on imperfect passion – let's do this!

42. Stillness Is Where the Truth Rises | Week 5

This week, we’re diving into the power of stillness—how slowing down can become the doorway to healing, clarity, and coming home to yourself. Fernanda shares her personal journey with meditation—from feeling unsafe in silence to embracing it as a sacred daily ritual—and explores six approachable meditation practices to help you create your own relationship with stillness. Whether you have 5 minutes or two hours, this episode invites you to stop performing and start listening—to the quiet wisdom within.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by meditation or unsure how to start, this one is for you.


Episode Topics & Key Themes:

✅ Why stillness can feel threatening when we’re used to constant input
✅ The difference between consuming inspiration vs. embodying transformation
✅ Fernanda’s powerful turning point during a 7-day Joe Dispenza retreat
✅ How embracing her natural hair became an act of radical self-acceptance
✅ Six forms of meditation that fit different seasons of life
✅ Why five minutes of stillness can have a compounding effect on your nervous system


Key Takeaways & Reflections:

📌 Stillness isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.
📌 Real change begins when we stop performing and start witnessing ourselves.
📌 Meditation isn’t one-size-fits-all—find what works for this season of your life.
📌 Your breath is your built-in reset button—use it to remind your body that you’re safe.
📌 You don’t need to sit still to connect with stillness. Sometimes, walking is the meditation.


Powerful Quotes From This Episode:

“Consuming inspiration is not the same as embodying transformation.”
“Stillness has become a rare and almost threatening state—because in stillness, the noise fades… and the truth rises.”
“The more you slow your breath, the more you train your nervous system that it’s safe to relax.”
“You are not behind. You are exactly where you need to be.”
“Meditation is not a performance—it’s a permission slip.”
