Do you ever feel like your mind never stops?

After divorce, grief, or heartbreak, it’s common to live in constant mental noise—worrying, replaying, planning, judging.

In today’s episode, I share how I discovered a gentler way forward through meditation—a tool of awareness that doesn’t demand perfection and gives you permission to pause.

I’ll talk about how I first struggled: restless thoughts, doubts, the fear I was “doing it wrong.” But over time I learned that meditation isn’t about emptying your mind—it’s about learning you don’t have to believe every thought you think.

With consistent practice, I began to notice quieter inner space, respond instead of react, and breathe again in the midst of chaos.

I also share practical ways you can begin today (even if you’ve never meditated before), how to let go of pressure and perfection, and how to weave pauses into your daily life—even when you feel too busy, too overwhelmed, or too broken.

✨ Quiet Mirror Moment for this week: Take five minutes to simply sit, breathe, and notice the thoughts that drift in. You don’t have to push them away—just let them pass (like clouds) while you return to your breath.
